Freshworks: Neutral Outlook As Positives Are Balanced By The Negatives

  • I rate Freshworks as a hold due to macro headwinds, internal restructuring, and AI monetization uncertainty despite solid 1Q25 results. FRSH's 1Q25 earnings showed strong growth in the EX segment and profitability, with a notable 1,100 net new paying customers added. Freddy AI adoption is promising, with significant traction in large deals, but it's still early, representing less than 10% of the customer base.
