Check out our latest analysis for Urgent.ly

After the latest results, the consensus from Urgent.ly's lone analyst is for revenues of US$137.6m in 2025, which would reflect a discernible 3.7% decline in revenue compared to the last year of performance. Losses are predicted to fall substantially, shrinking 79% to US$0.67. Before this latest report, the consensus had been expecting revenues of US$148.4m and US$0.53 per share in losses. So it's pretty clear the analyst has mixed opinions on Urgent.ly after this update; revenues were downgraded and per-share losses expected to increase.

The consensus price target fell 33% to US$1.00, with the analyst clearly concerned about the company following the weaker revenue and earnings outlook.

Looking at the bigger picture now, one of the ways we can make sense of these forecasts is to see how they measure up against both past performance and industry growth estimates. We would also point out that the forecast 3.7% annualised revenue decline to the end of 2025 is roughly in line with the historical trend, which saw revenues shrink 3.4% annually over the past three years By contrast, our data suggests that other companies (with analyst coverage) in a similar industry are forecast to see their revenue grow 12% per year. So while a broad number of companies are forecast to grow, unfortunately Urgent.ly is expected to see its revenue affected worse than other companies in the industry.

The Bottom Line

The most important thing to note is the forecast of increased losses next year, suggesting all may not be well at Urgent.ly. Unfortunately, they also downgraded their revenue estimates, and our data indicates underperformance compared to the wider industry. Even so, earnings per share are more important to the intrinsic value of the business. Furthermore, the analyst also cut their price targets, suggesting that the latest news has led to greater pessimism about the intrinsic value of the business.
