Shutterstock (SSTK) Stock Analysis: AI Score & Alternative Data
SSTK alt-data: job postings climbing, revenue lagging
Is Shutterstock a buy right now? The alternative data leans no. This SSTK stock analysis is built on the 25+ alternative data signals AltIndex tracks on Shutterstock every day — hiring, web traffic, sentiment, social reach — rolled into an AI Score of 21/100: a Sell. The stock trades at $4.35 with a $161M market cap.
The 90-day pressure points: revenue down 18.5% YoY to $220M, web traffic down 18.8% to 46.4M monthly visits, and business outlook fell 9.1% — now 20% of employees are positive. There are bright spots — job postings up 75.0% to 7 open roles, headcount (according to LinkedIn) up 5.6% to 2K employees, and sentiment up 25.0% to 100/100 — but not enough to offset the broader weakness.
SSTK’s broader alt-data profile also covers Facebook followers (986K), and app downloads (899). Every signal links to its own page with full history, the SSTK technical analysis covers RSI, moving averages, and support and resistance, and the full table of everything AltIndex tracks on SSTK is just below.
