Proven numbersCooling offAI verdict · as of 2026-08-13

Catching its breath after a run — could pick back up or fade from here.

Klaviyo Q2 revenue +26% but gross-margin outlook cut sent the stock down 6% — SaaS at 3.6x sales.

Klaviyo Inc. is a marketing-automation SaaS for e-commerce (email, SMS, push notifications) with strong ties to Shopify. The story is a real subscription business but the recent print flagged gross-margin pressure.

Where it stands:

  • The operating story is running: Q2 revenue $371M grew 26.4% year-over-year at 73% gross margin — SaaS-class economics with real top-line growth.
  • Recent EPS: Q2 $0.19 vs $0.19 (in-line) and Q1 $0.22 vs $0.19 (16% surprise) — mixed cadence.
  • The forward earnings arc is real: consensus 2026 revenue $1.53B with EPS $0.83, 2027 $1.83B with EPS $1.05, 2028 $2.17B with EPS $1.29 — mid-teens EPS growth on a 25x forward multiple.
  • The valuation has come in: 3.6x sales — reasonable for a marketing-SaaS growing 26%.
  • The tape is cooling: shares at the 20th percentile of the 52-week range, +6% above the 50-day but -18% below the 200-day, down 43% year-over-year on very high volume (1.8x average).
  • The gross-margin outlook reduction is the specific disappointment — top-line performance was solid but margin trajectory disappointed.
  • A password-exposure incident (advertiser passwords) is a low-severity but visible security issue.
  • Insider signal: officer Whalen sold $249K on July 17, director Oulman C-Conversion on July 24 — small activity.
  • A leadership change was disclosed July 13.

Cooling here means the market is testing whether Klaviyo can grow through the margin pressure. What restarts the tape is a Q3 print (November 4) with continued 25%+ revenue growth plus margin re-expansion. What extends the drawdown is either another gross-margin outlook cut or a Shopify-relationship headline.

What to watch: Q3 earnings November 4 — specifically revenue growth (needs to hold above 25%), gross margin trajectory, and any commentary on Shopify partnership pipeline. Watch also for any additional security-incident disclosures.

Fundamentals & catalyst

Profitability, valuation, and the next earnings event — at a glance, with rule-of-thumb signals.

Key ratios

P/E
772.8How much investors are paying per dollar of profit the company actually earned in the last 12 months. Lower means the stock looks cheaper relative to earnings.~15–25 is typical for the S&P 500; high-growth names trade 30+; hyper-growth or speculative can be 100+ or negative.
ROIC
-1.5%What percentage return the business earns on every dollar of capital (equity + debt) deployed in operations. The cleanest measure of business quality.Above ~15% is high-quality; consistently above 25% suggests a real moat. Below the company's cost of capital is value-destroying.
Op margin
-1.9%Operating profit (after sales, marketing, R&D, and overhead but before interest and taxes) as a percentage of revenue. The clearest view of how well the underlying business is run.Mature business above 20% is healthy; software businesses can run 30%+; commodity / retail businesses operate in single digits.
FCF yield
5.7%Free cash flow (operating cash flow minus capex) divided by the company's market cap. The cash-on-cash return you'd get owning the whole business at today's price.Above ~5% is attractive; below ~2% means you're paying up for growth. Capital-light businesses (software) run higher than capital-heavy ones (utilities).
P/S
3.6Same idea as P/E but per dollar of revenue. Useful for companies that aren't profitable yet, where P/E is meaningless.Under ~2 is cheap; software / SaaS often runs 8–15; well above 20 implies the market is pricing in very high future growth.
ROE
0.6%Net income as a percentage of shareholders' equity. Similar to ROIC but counts only the equity side.Above 20% is strong, but can be inflated by leverage — a heavily indebted company can show high ROE with weak underlying ROIC.
Gross margin
73.8%Revenue minus the direct cost of producing what was sold, as a percentage of revenue. The first read on whether the product is structurally profitable.Software / SaaS is typically 70%+; consumer goods 30–50%; commodity / hardware businesses can be under 20%.
D/E
0.1Total debt divided by shareholders' equity. Measures how much the business runs on borrowed money versus owner capital.Under 1 is conservative; 1–2 is typical for mature businesses; over 2 is leveraged and more sensitive to interest rates.
