Lightspeed Shows Progress, But I Await Sustained Improvement

Summary Lightspeed Commerce beat FQ1 2027 revenue and earnings estimates, approaching operating breakeven. LSPD's revenue mix is driven by transactions (66.4%) and US exposure, with strengths in specialty retail, European hospitality, and unified merchant services. Management guides for 12–15% organic growth and $85M adjusted EBITDA in FY 2027, but competitive intensity and premium pricing pose risks. I maintain a Hold rating on LSPD, pending consistent operating profitability and further evidence of durable operating leverage. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

Lightspeed Commerce: Recent Price Pressure Creates Attractive Buying Opportunity

Summary Despite disappointing share performance, I maintain a buy rating for Lightspeed Commerce with a 1-year target price of $18, projecting a 35% upside. LSPD’s fundamentals have slightly improved, with positive quarterly operating cash flow and reduced net loss margin, signaling potential for future growth. Key growth catalysts include positive hospitality market outlook in Europe and LSPD’s strategy to target high GTV customers and increase outbound sales.
