Data Quality

Data: Medium

Yelp offers minimal expected equity upside (~2.8%) over 2 years due to low growth, high competitive threat from Google, and a compressed multiple.

Last updated: July 21, 2026

Bull (15%)+46%

Yelp's profitability and brand network effects allow it to fend off Google, driving revenue to $1.54B and exit multiple to 1.5x (2.0x), yielding a 46% upside.

Base (30%)+27%

Revenue grows modestly to $1.54B; exit multiple converges to 1.3x (within comp range), resulting in a 26.6% total return.

Bear (55%)-22%

Google's dominance intensifies, growth stalls below 2%, and multiple compresses to 0.8x, leading to a 22% downside. Preference stack is low, so common recovers nearly fully.

Funding Intensity

350%

Dilution Risk

low

Profitability and $470M+ cash reserves (implied) make a dilutive raise unlikely within 2 years.
