B. Riley lowered the firm's price target on FiscalNote to $1.50 from $1.75 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. FiscalNote's Q4 revenue and adjusted EBITDA exceeded consensus expectations, and initial guidance for fiscal 2025 outlines near-term revenue headwinds, sustained adjusted EBITDA margin expansion, and a path to renewed annual recurring revenue growth in the second half of the year, the analyst tells investors in a research note.

Reason
Roth MKM analyst Richard Baldry lowered the firm's price target on FiscalNote to $2 from $3 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. The company's Q4 revenues narrowly beat forecasts which factored weaker sequential results that instead moved largely sideways, but with two more divestitures expected to close in Q1, FiscalNote will see much lower 2025 revenues than expected, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Lowering FiscalNote's net debt is a critical avenue to achieving a sustainable financial model, the firm added.
