Time to Buy Monday.com Stock Down 25% from Its Highs?
Monday.com’s valuation levels are worrisome and holding the stock back. But the company is improving its bottom line and remains committed to growth.
Monday.com’s balance sheet is stellar, with $1.4 billion in cash and equivalents and $1.6 billion in total assets compared to only $614 million in total liabilities. This should help MNDY pursue expansion efforts and possibly boost its artificial intelligence (AI) investments.
