CART Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Maplebear (Instacart) demonstrates a positive outlook driven by expected growth in advertising revenue, which is projected to outpace overall gross transaction volume (GTV) in 1Q25, indicating a robust approach to monetizing its platform. The company has successfully expanded its active brand partners to over 7,000 and launched more than 30 new retailer sites in 2024, indicating strong partnerships and growth within its marketplace. Furthermore, improvements in operational efficiency are anticipated, with a notable potential increase in the adjusted EBITDA margin towards the long-term target of approximately 39%, reflecting the scalability of its cost structure.
Bears say
Maplebear, operating as Instacart, faces a challenging financial outlook due to anticipated declines in its transaction take rate, projected to decrease by approximately 10 basis points year-over-year in 2025, amid increasing competitive pressures and stagnation in the online grocery industry. Management's forecast indicates a declining average order value (AOV), driven by a shift towards restaurant orders and a reduction in delivery fee minimums, which collectively contribute to reduced revenue potential from both transaction fees and advertising. Furthermore, the company's reliance on a limited number of retail partners exposes it to revenue concentration risks, compounded by a deceleration in advertising revenue growth and uncertainties surrounding the scalability of its advertising business in a rapidly evolving digital ecosystem.
