Key Factors to Note

Fiverr’s platform is expected to have benefited from the increasing remote working trend. Notably, the platform connects people, offering logo, poster and brochure designing, photoshop editing, content marketing, web analytics, translation, and other services, with people outsourcing such work to freelancers.

The company's strong focus on product and technology enhancements is expected to get reflected in the to-be-reported results.

Moreover, Fiverr’s accelerated Artificial Intelligence (AI) efforts to deliver a personalized experience and enhanced customer support are anticipated to have benefited the first-quarter performance.

Growing momentum across Promoted Gigs, Seller Plus and cash advance programs is expected to have aided the company in gaining traction among freelancers during the first quarter, which in turn is likely to contribute well to the upcoming results.

Furthermore, solid momentum among the large wallet customers might have been a major positive.

Additionally, strong growth in the company’s take rate, driven by value-added services, is expected to have continued in the quarter under review, which, in turn, is expected to have contributed to the top line.

Strong momentum across non-paid traffic on the back of strong brand awareness and continued engagement among existing customers is likely to have remained a positive.

However, macroeconomic uncertainties are anticipated to have been concerns in the quarter to be reported.
