The analyst's take on Shutterstock, Inc.
Shutterstock, Inc. has grown revenue from $494.32M to $989.92M over the last 10 fiscal years, compounding about 8.2% a year. The most recent year was up 5.8%, so growth has cooled from its longer-run pace.
Net margin sits at 4.6%, up 0.8 points year over year on a 58.9% gross margin. It carries about $274.75M of total debt.
At today's valuation the market is pricing in roughly -14.6% annual free-cash-flow growth — versus the -3.4% it actually delivered over the last five years, so the price is arguably undemanding against what it has already proven. The one thing worth a second look in the filings is net margin shrinking.
