Kirk Materne has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors tied to Bending Spoons’ valuation and execution timeline. He views BSP as a scaled platform for disciplined digital acquisitions that converts mature online assets into high-margin, cash-generating businesses, but notes that the stock already trades roughly in line with comparable peers following its IPO surge, limiting near-term upside.

He expects the shares to trade in a relatively tight range until the company’s future deals begin to close the gap between its current portfolio and ambitious revenue and EBITDA targets. At the same time, he remains positive on the long-term opportunity given BSP’s repeatable M&A playbook, strong historical returns, and sizable pipeline, while flagging uncertainties around the timing and market reception of new acquisitions and the potential impact of AI and larger transactions on future deal returns.

In another report released today, Jefferies also initiated coverage with a Hold rating on the stock with a $38.00 price target.
