Margins Step Up To 8.3%
- Over the last 12 months, VTEX generated US$20.0 million in net income on US$240.5 million of revenue, which works out to an 8.3% net margin compared with 5.3% a year earlier.
- Bulls point to this higher margin as proof that VTEX can turn growth into earnings, and the recent numbers give them support:
- Quarterly net income moved from US$0.9 million in Q1 2025 to US$9.8 million in Q4, while TTM earnings rose to US$20.0 million. This lines up with the bullish view that operational efficiency and automation can lift profitability.
- At the same time, the bearish narrative worries about macro pressure in markets like Brazil and Argentina. That shows up in the forecasts that focus more on earnings growth than on very fast revenue growth, which is expected at 9.4% per year, slightly below the 10.3% US market forecast.
EPS Growth Outpaces Revenue
- Trailing twelve month basic EPS increased from US$0.0648 in Q4 2024 to US$0.111 by Q4 2025, while TTM revenue moved from US$226.7 million to US$240.5 million over the same period.
- Supporters of the bullish narrative argue that this earnings momentum can continue, and current figures partly back that view but also highlight the bar that is being set:
- Reported earnings growth of 66.8% over the past year is stronger than the forecast 26.2% per year going forward, so recent EPS strength already sits ahead of the ongoing growth rate that bullish investors are using in their models.
- Revenue, on the other hand, is forecast to grow at 9.4% per year, which is slower than the 10.3% US market forecast. For the bullish case to play out, VTEX would need to keep leaning on margin and EPS gains rather than relying only on faster top line growth.
Mixed Signals On Valuation Risk
- With the share price at US$3.43, VTEX trades about 53.5% below a DCF fair value of roughly US$7.37, and on 30.5x P/E compared with 62.2x for peers and 21x for the broader US IT industry.
- Critics lean on the bearish narrative, arguing that slower revenue forecasts and exposure to regional volatility justify caution, and the current data gives both support and pushback to that stance:
- The forecast 9.4% annual revenue growth that trails the wider US market can fit the bearish concern that larger enterprise customers with lower take rates might limit top line expansion even if underlying GMV rises.
- Yet, the combination of 66.8% earnings growth over the past year, an 8.3% net margin, and a P/E that is below peers while still above the IT industry average suggests that the market is already pricing in some of those risks, rather than giving VTEX the same multiples as faster growing or less regionally exposed competitors.
