Wake Up, It's Time For A Business Plan - Reiterating Buy On Upwork
Upwork Inc.'s Q4 beats were driven by enterprises, and I expect to see this happen again. I think the enterprise segment has strong potential to drive Upwork's next leg of growth as it captures a higher-paying client base. Profit margins jumped 68% year-over-year in Q4 due to cost reduction, platform improvements, and scale.

Upwork: Impressive Profit Growth, But The Longer Term Is Shaky
Upwork's Q4 earnings showcased profitability, but AI poses long-term risks, making me remain neutral on its prospects despite a recent stock rally. Upwork's AI-related GSV grew 33% y/y, but overall revenue growth has decelerated to single digits, showcasing that AI may be a net headwind than a tailwind. The company introduced its AI tool "Uma" and acquired Objective for AI native search, yet simpler jobs may be lost to AI.
