The decision cites Q2 results meeting expectations, a SaaS platform delivered on schedule, and a restructuring plan expected to cut $60 million in annual expenses. Although near-term SaaS revenue assumptions were lowered due to timing issues rather than structural concerns, the cost cuts support debt servicing capabilities and create a favorable risk-reward profile."

Scott Berg has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors, including Thryv’s second-quarter results that matched expectations, with solid performance from Marketing Services offsetting softer SaaS trends. While the company’s updated second-half outlook reflects lower SaaS revenue and margin assumptions, he views this as a timing issue around SaaS growth re-acceleration rather than a structural concern.

He also highlights that the newly launched SaaS platform was delivered on schedule and remains central to the long-term thesis, even as he tempers near-term revenue projections to reflect a more cautious stance on initial traction. In addition, the announced restructuring, which is expected to trim roughly $60 million in annual operating expenses, enhances confidence in Thryv’s ability to service its debt obligations in fiscal 2027 and 2028, supporting a favorable risk‑reward profile for the stock.
