BLZE: Softer Outlook And Capex Weigh While Neocloud Wins May Help
Backblaze's updated analyst price target has shifted modestly lower, with cuts across firms now clustering in the $4.50 to $8.50 range as analysts factor in softer B2 Cloud growth, a guided 8% revenue growth rate, some gross margin pressure, higher capital expenditures, and mixed near term revenue trends, alongside strong recent EBITDA performance and management changes that they argue could support execution over time.

Backblaze: As B2 Cloud Storage Accelerates, This Stock Can Rally Fiercely
Summary Backblaze is a promising investment due to AI-driven revenue growth, robust Q4 results, and a strategic sales overhaul boosting its B2 cloud storage business. The company is expecting B2 cloud storage revenue to accelerate consistently as it moves through FY25, a testament to strong secular tailwinds and better sales execution. BLZE balances growth and profitability, maintaining a mid-20s revenue growth pace and a ~10% adjusted EBITDA margin, with positive free cash flow expected in FY25. The stock's post-earnings dip presents a great buying opportunity, especially with the stock trading at just ~11x forward adjusted EBITDA.

Backblaze: Lacking A Competitive Offering As Losses Accumulate
Summary Backblaze has grown well (+26% CAGR), driven by a price-competitive offering and a good quality offering. Whilst its ARR continues to grow, we see fundamental issues with its broader offering. It faces stiff competition from the likes of Amazon and lacks any form of material differentiation. We expect growth to continue to slow as Management is forced to lift prices. It is burning cash with solvency risk. Shareholders will likely need to fund further losses. We suspect a takeover is the only route to saving this company long-term, as we struggle to see how it can differentiate itself without either remaining loss-making or developing a suite of services. Backblaze is trading at 4x revenue, which values its revenue generation beyond a reasonable level we feel given the risks highlighted. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaAnalyse-artikel • Feb 07
