While Fiverr is focusing on higher-value projects, which are gaining traction, the increased spending may delay margin expansion. McTernan believes the risk-reward is balanced, supporting the Hold rating. Roth MKM also issued a Hold rating with a $14.00 price target on the same day."

Bernie McTernan has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors tied to Fiverr’s current strategic phase and growth profile. Management signaled that 2026 will be a heavy investment year, as the company rolls out new offerings aimed at revitalizing growth, especially in higher-value, more sophisticated projects, which introduces execution risk and delays margin expansion.

At the same time, Fiverr is demonstrating encouraging traction in complex transactions, with deals above $1,000 now representing a meaningful share of overall marketplace volume and growing at a healthy double‑digit pace. The company is still targeting a 25% adjusted EBITDA margin over time, but with increased spending ahead, McTernan views the risk‑reward as balanced for now, supporting a Hold rather than a more aggressive rating.

In another report released on May 1, Roth MKM also maintained a Hold rating on the stock with a $14.00 price target.
