On Thursday, Wolfe Research downgraded shares of Bill.com Holdings Inc. (NYSE: NYSE:BILL), changing the rating from Outperform to Peer Perform. The firm cited concerns about the company's ability to maintain sustainable growth over the medium term. Wolfe Research adjusted their valuation of Bill.com, applying a multiple of approximately 3x-4x to the expected CY26 gross profit.

The revised price target range for Bill.com is now set between $46 and $56. This new target reflects a slight discount compared to AVDX, which Wolfe Research uses as a benchmark. The downgrade comes with a reassessment of the company's future gross profit growth, with estimates for CY25 and CY26 at 12.7% and 15.8%, respectively.

Wolfe Research's valuation also implies that Bill.com is trading at approximately 14 times its adjusted EBITDA, which translates to over 50 times the EBITDA estimates when stock-based compensation (SBC) expenses are included. The analyst's comments indicate a reduced confidence in the key drivers that are essential for Bill.com's sustainable growth in the medium term.

In other recent news, Bill.com has experienced a series of analyst adjustments.
