Angi: Layoffs A Good First Step, But Not Enough To Save This Business

What happened: An analyst reiterated a Sell rating on ANGI, arguing that a 13% workforce reduction is unlikely to reverse the company's deteriorating fundamentals, including a fading marketplace and loss of service pros and customers. Key numbers: 13% workforce reduction; $55 million targeted annual savings; FY27 revenue expected to decline 1% to $946.3 million; 2.3x EV/EBITDA multiple. Why it matters: The analyst views margin gains as likely offset by diseconomies of scale and says the 2.3x EV/EBITDA multiple does not sufficiently compensate for operating and structural risks.
