Semrush’s shares are very volatile and have had 21 moves greater than 5% over the last year. In that context, today’s move indicates the market considers this news meaningful but not something that would fundamentally change its perception of the business.
The previous big move we wrote about was about 23 hours ago when the stock dropped 3.2% after tech stocks pulled back as a report raised concerns about artificial intelligence demand and profitability. Oracle shares lost more than 5% following news of its cloud business generating lighter margins than expected. According to internal documents cited in the report, the gross profit margin for this business was only 14%, a figure much lower than what analysts had expected. This suggested that the high costs of running the advanced chip infrastructure were weighing on profitability. Compounding these worries was the ongoing U.S. government shutdown, in its second week, with no clear resolution in sight from Washington. These updates drove investors away from riskier assets and towards safe havens, a trend highlighted by gold futures hitting a record $4,000 per ounce for the first time.
Semrush is down 36.4% since the beginning of the year, and at $7.46 per share, it is trading 59.4% below its 52-week high of $18.37 from February 2025. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Semrush’s shares at the IPO in March 2021 would now be looking at an investment worth $664.88.
