EverQuote Board Approves Fresh $50M Buyback, Lifts Credit Cap to $75M
EVER sits 62% above its 52-week low of $13.88.
Summary
EverQuote's board authorized a new $50M repurchase program for its Class A stock, and the company amended its credit agreement to allow up to $75M of buybacks. The amended credit agreement also permits up to $15M of investments in non-Group entities per fiscal year, with monthly repurchases and investments capped at trailing three-month Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA. That is roughly 6% of the company's market value, a meaningful return-of-capital commitment for a name this size. It follows the completion of the prior $50M program disclosed with Q2 results in August, when EverQuote posted $195.1M of revenue (+24.6% YoY) and $19.2M of net income. CFO Joseph Sanborn framed the move around strong free cash flow and continued AI investment, so the buyback reads as confidence rather than a defensive gesture. Repurchases are discretionary and can be paused at any time, so execution pace matters more than the headline number.
