Benchmark on Wednesday raised its 12-month price target for Klaviyo Inc to $33.00 from $30.00 and reiterated a Buy rating on the shares. The new target implies a 54% upside from the stock's current trading level of $21.42.
The upward revision follows what Benchmark characterized as a "healthy 4Q print and guide," with the research team highlighting continued strong customer additions, elevated top-line performance and steady expansion of operating margins. Those qualitative takeaways sit alongside the company’s reported metrics: 32.81% revenue growth over the last twelve months and a gross profit margin of 75.15%.
Benchmark’s note singled out several themes discussed on Klaviyo’s earnings call. Among them were the company’s agentic stack differentiation and its progression in winning new customers. The research firm said it incorporated positive estimate revisions into its modeling and based its updated target on a discounted cash flow valuation.
Operational results cited by Benchmark and confirmed in Klaviyo’s financial release included nearly 30% year-over-year revenue growth for the quarter, which exceeded the company's own guidance of roughly 23%. The company also reported a Net Revenue Retention rate of 110% and more than 37% growth in customers spending at least $50,000 annually.
Technical and valuation signals were also referenced in the context of the analyst move. Technical indicators suggest the stock is in oversold territory, and the valuation work referenced by Benchmark indicates the shares are trading below a fair-value assessment, supporting the firm’s view of a material upside opportunity.
Benchmark is not the only firm to update its outlook after the quarter. Several other brokerages issued revised price targets and reiterated ratings, with the changes reflecting a mix of recognition for Klaviyo’s strong execution and broader sector valuation considerations:
- Cantor Fitzgerald and Truist Securities both trimmed their price targets to $35 while keeping Overweight and Buy ratings, respectively, citing sector valuation dynamics as a reason for the lower targets.
- Needham reduced its target to $30 but maintained a Buy rating, pointing to solid holiday-season sales and customer expansion as supporting factors.
- Piper Sandler reiterated an Overweight rating with a $30 target, citing Klaviyo’s results that beat revenue and operating income expectations.
- KeyBanc lowered its price target to $40 and continued to carry an Overweight rating, noting the company’s strong performance across the 2025 period.
Taken together, the analyst actions reflect a balance between recognition of Klaviyo’s recent execution and differing views on appropriate valuation levels for the marketing automation and customer data platform market. Benchmark’s decision to raise its target was driven by model changes and the firm’s DCF-based fair value work, while other firms adjusted targets to reflect both the quarterly beat and sector valuation pressures.
