About Ibotta

Ibotta runs a digital cash-back app where shoppers earn rewards on everyday grocery and household purchases. The company makes money when big brands pay for promotions, and it reaches shoppers through partners like Walmart, Instacart, and DoorDash.

The case for and against

Both sides of the story, in plain English.

Bull case
  • Cash Cushion

    Ibotta has 223 million dollars sitting in the bank, which is roughly a quarter of the entire company's value. That gives them plenty of runway to weather a slowdown, and they've been using some of it to buy back their own shares at depressed prices.

  • Reach Expanding

    Way more people are using the app thanks to new partnerships with Walmart, Instacart, and DoorDash. Total redeemers jumped 27% to over 17 million shoppers, and third-party redemptions grew double digits while the network keeps adding mainstream retailers.

Bear case
  • Sales Sliding

    Revenue fell 16% last quarter to about 83 million dollars, a sharp reversal for a company that used to grow 50% a year. Guidance for this quarter calls for more of the same at 80 to 85 million dollars, with no clear bounce in sight.

  • Margin Squeeze

    Pushing volume through partners like Walmart means Ibotta has to share more of every dollar with the retailer. Net profit margin has collapsed to just 1%, and heavy stock-based compensation is eating into nearly all of the reported EBITDA.
