Wall Street analysts have initiated coverage of Klaviyo (NYSE:) with a mix of buy and hold-equivalent ratings following the company’s recent initial public offering (IPO).

While analysts acknowledged Klaviyo’s unique offerings, its connection to Shopify (NYSE:), and growth potential, they also expressed concerns about the firm’s valuation.

Some analysts believe that the positive aspects of the company may already be reflected in the share price.

Klaviyo’s shares closed at $31.53 on Friday, approximately 5% higher than their $30 IPO price.

12 analysts are out with new coverage reports, with 8 starting with a Buy or equivalent rating.

Analysts at Piper Sandler initiated research coverage with an Overweight rating.

“We are initiating coverage on KVYO at Overweight with a $38 PT based on 1) just 4% logo penetration at Shopify, 2) a disciplined strategy of balancing ~30% growth alongside a 10%+ non-GAAP operating margin, 3) diversified revenue base and pricing model tied to customer contacts and credits, and 4) new product potential,” the analysts said.

Analysts at Goldman Sachs are more cautious on KVYO stock amid a ‘fair’ valuation.

“We view the stock as fairly valued at current levels, and we look to momentum upmarket and diversification outside of retail/ecomm to unlock longer term stock outperformance.”
