- New Family Safety Initiative: Truecaller has launched the Family Protection feature, allowing up to five users to form trusted family groups that share real-time tools to protect against scams and unwanted calls, significantly enhancing digital safety for family members.
- Remote Management by Admin: The Family Admin can receive alerts for potential scam calls on Android and remotely end suspicious calls, effectively safeguarding less tech-savvy relatives and increasing user stickiness.
- Market Rollout Strategy: The feature is currently available in four pilot markets: Sweden, Chile, Malaysia, and Kenya, with plans to expand into key regions like India in Q1 2026, aiming to optimize broader deployment through early adoption insights.
- Revenue Growth Potential: While the Family Protection feature is free, Truecaller aims to drive long-term revenue growth through premium subscription services that offer advanced spam blocking and an ad-free experience, aligning with the company's strategic goals of enhancing user engagement and repeat usage.

Buy -> Neutral
Reason
BTIG downgraded TrueCar to Neutral from Buy given the recently announced agreement to be acquired by Fair Holdings for $2.55 per share. While the shares trading below the acquisition price leaves some incremental upside, the firm sees this discount as appropriate given there is still a non-zero risk the deal is not consummated. BTIG added that it sees the roughly 65% gain investors have already achieved since before the deal was announced as worth locking in.

The firm views the proposed acquisition price of $2.55 per share, a roughly 72% premium to the prior day's close, as "an attractive outcome for shareholders," the analyst stated.

Reason
JPMorgan analyst Rajat Gupta upgraded TrueCar to Neutral from Underweight after the company announced its acquisition by Fair Holdings, the holding company of TrueCar founder Scott Painter, in an all-cash go-private transaction valued at $2.55 per share. The developments are not surprising given the strategic review process that TrueCar began in late 2024 and also in context of a continued choppy market backdrop, the analyst tells investors in a research note.
