Losses Narrow To About US$4 Million In Q4

• Net income loss in Q4 FY 2025 was US$4.0 million compared with US$12.9 million in Q3 FY 2025 and US$12.1 million in Q4 FY 2024, while trailing twelve month loss sits at US$54.2 million.
• Bulls argue that improving efficiency and higher margin self serve ads can help over time, and the step down from US$21.9 million loss in Q1 FY 2025 to US$4.0 million in Q4, alongside a five year trend of losses shrinking by about 0.5% per year, heavily supports the idea that the cost base is moving closer to a sustainable level.
  • Supporters also point to positive Q3 adjusted EBITDA and revenue per employee up 21% year to date as signs that each dollar of spend is working harder, which fits with the pattern of smaller quarterly losses seen in 2025.
  • At the same time, the company remains unprofitable on a trailing twelve month basis and is not forecast to be profitable within three years, so the bullish view still leans heavily on continued execution rather than current net income.

Analysts who think the recent loss reduction is the start of a longer trend see this as an early proof point, but they are still watching how quickly net income can move closer to break even before calling it a full turnaround story 🐂 Nextdoor Holdings Bull Case

Revenue Growth Trails Market At 7.9%

• On a trailing twelve month basis, revenue is US$257.6 million and has grown at 7.9% per year over the last year compared with 11.3% per year for the broader US market.
• Bears highlight that even with quarterly revenue at US$69.5 million in Q4 FY 2025 versus US$65.2 million a year earlier, the business is still guiding to only 3% to 4% full year 2025 revenue growth and remains loss making, which they see as a sign that modest top line expansion may not be enough to materially change net margins without sharper acceleration.
  • Critics also point out that management is intentionally reducing notifications and new user acquisition, which they worry could limit growth in weekly active users and keep revenue growth below market levels if ARPU does not offset softer usage.
  • On this view, the combination of slower than market revenue growth and ongoing losses creates pressure for the platform to prove that newer ad formats and content initiatives can support stronger revenue per user over time.

Skeptical investors often use this gap between 7.9% revenue growth and the 11.3% market benchmark as a quick check on whether the business is keeping pace with broader digital ad trends 🐻 Nextdoor Holdings Bear Case

Premium P/S Versus Peers Despite DCF Upside

• The stock trades at a P/S of 2.4x, above both the 1.3x peer average and the 1.2x US Interactive Media & Services industry, while an internal DCF fair value of US$3.95 per share sits well above the current US$1.63 price.
• Consensus narrative notes that analysts collectively see room for improvement, with a single analyst price target reference of US$2.58 implying upside from US$1.63, yet the premium P/S ratio versus peers means the market is already paying more per dollar of sales, which can be hard to square with a company that has a trailing twelve month net loss of US$54.2 million and is not forecast to be profitable within three years.
  • What stands out is the tension between a DCF fair value of US$3.95 that is well above the current share price and revenue growth that trails the broader US market, suggesting valuation models are embedding stronger future progress than the recent 7.9% growth rate alone might justify.
  • For you as an investor, the key question is whether the premium P/S and DCF fair value are better explained by confidence in shrinking losses, or whether the slower growth and continued losses argue for a closer look at execution risk before relying on modelled upside.
