LZ

LegalZoom remains a hold as organic growth and core business metrics are still weak despite strong DIFM service adoption and the OpenAI partnership. LZ's reported 13% revenue growth was mostly inorganic, driven by the Formation Nation acquisition, while organic growth was only about 4% year-over-year. DIFM services and the OpenAI partnership offer promising long-term margin and scalability benefits, but legacy metrics like ARPU and internal formation units are stagnant.

LegalZoom presents a compelling buy-the-dip opportunity after a 10% post-earnings drop, despite strong results and raised guidance. LZ is shifting toward recurring subscription revenue, expanding its TAM, and integrating AI tools like ChatGPT and Perplexity for growth. The company boasts mid-20%s EBITDA margins, robust free cash flow, and a debt-free balance sheet with over $200 million in cash.
