Upwork (UPWK) Stock Analysis: AI Score & Alternative Data
UPWK alt-data: job postings climbing, business outlook lagging
Is Upwork a buy right now? The alternative data says hold. This UPWK stock analysis is built on the 25+ alternative data signals AltIndex tracks on Upwork every day — hiring, web traffic, sentiment, social reach — rolled into an AI Score of 41/100: a Hold. The stock trades at $9.67 with a $1B market cap.
The bullish side of the 90-day ledger: job postings up 93.6% to 333 open roles. The drag: business outlook fell 6.8% — now 41% of employees are positive, app downloads down 82.8% to 4K downloads, and Instagram followers down 7.1% to 13 followers. That tension is what keeps the score mid-range.
UPWK’s broader alt-data profile also covers headcount (177K employees, according to LinkedIn), web traffic (35.0M monthly visits), Facebook followers (1.4M), and Reddit mentions (4 a day).
