Factors Shaping WIX’s Q1 Results

The growing adoption of Wix's product portfolio, particularly Wix Studio and various AI-driven solutions, is likely to have driven the revenues in the to-be-reported quarter. WIX is focusing on generative AI as it represents a significant business growth driver. The launch of the AI Website Builder in 2024 has provided users with a transformative experience and is now the mainstay of WIX’s AI portfolio.

It continues to add new products to capitalize on the AI boom. In January 2025, Wix unveiled Business Launcher, an AI-driven tool designed to help users transform new business ideas into reality, from concept to execution. The tool analyzes users' skills, experience and goals to generate personalized business ideas with just a few questions or by uploading a resume.

WIX has also been embedding AI assistants across its platform. New AI-business assistants have been improving operational efficiency and customer conversion rates. In December 2024, Wix launched its first monetized product, AI Site-Chat, a virtual agent that helps businesses engage visitors 24/7, addresses queries and provides real-time info. It improves customer experience and boosts potential sales.

WIX Studio, the company’s premium offering for agencies and professionals, currently has more than two million accounts, with 75% created by new Partners. The platform’s compelling features and efficiency have made it the foremost choice for larger projects.

Also, WIX’s strategy on onboarding higher-intent users and maximizing the lifetime value of its current user base, along with targeting marketing, bodes well. Steady momentum in the Self Creators and Partners’ channel, along with the expansion of the commerce platform, is likely to have impacted the company’s performance.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues from the Creative Subscriptions and Business Solutions segments is pegged at $337 million and $135 million, respectively.

Approximately 40% of Wix’s revenues are generated in non-U.S. dollar currencies, making it susceptible to foreign exchange fluctuations. The company experienced unfavorable forex impacts in the middle of the fourth quarter of 2024 and spanning till early 2025, mainly due to the strengthening U.S. dollar against the euro and British pound.  For the first quarter of 2025, revenues are expected to increase 13-14% at cc, including roughly $6 million of adverse forex impact.

Increasing investments in product development, infrastructure and platform, along with a volatile macroeconomic environment, continue to be concerns.
