BofA Securities Starts Bending Spoons (BSP) at Neutral

Mon, 27 Jul 2026 06:14:19 -0400

(Updated - July 27, 2026 6:14 AM EDT)

BofA Securities analyst Omar Dessouky initiates coverage on Bending Spoons (NASDAQ: BSP) with a Neutral rating and a price target of $37.00.

The analyst comments "BSP is uniquely positioned to exploit a major systemic inefficiency in equity markets: executive teams’ over-emphasis on organic growth and resulting capital misallocation. However, we initiate at Neutral because the stock already discounts $9bn of hypothetical M&A through CY28, the realization of which cannot be certain. BSP has thus far bought some of the industry’s most undervalued cash flows by acquiring, transforming & optimizing over 50 digital subscription companies

The analyst comments: “We initiate coverage of Bending Spoons shares with an Outperform rating and $45 target price, or ~32% upside.

Mon, 27 Jul 2026 02:24:19 -0400

Jefferies analyst James Heaney initiates coverage on Bending Spoons (NASDAQ: BSP) with a Hold rating and a price target of $38.00.

The analyst comments: “We're believers in BSP's proven acquisition playbook and track record of post-deal interventions that have consistently driven revenue and cost improvements.

Initiate at Hold with $38 PT on ~15x FY27 adj. OI.

Evercore ISI analyst Kirk Materne initiates coverage on Bending Spoons (NASDAQ: BSP) with a In Line rating and a price target of $36.00.

The analyst comments: “We view BSP as one of the few scaled public-market vehicles for underwriting digital M&A compounding: a centralized operating platform that buys mature, predictable digital assets at disciplined valuations, restructures them quickly, and redeploys the cash flow into the next acquisition. BSP is not a bet on Evernote, Vimeo, AOL, WeTransfer, or any single portfolio company; it is an investment in the company’s ability to convert a large target universe into high-margin, cash-generative assets at

On the other side of fence, Internet stocks have gone the way of NFTs with less than a handful of names up YTD let alone outperforming the index. Our star IPO? AOL… and Vimeo… and Evernote…
