LegalZoom: Setup Is Still Not Clean Enough To Justify A Buy

LegalZoom maintains a Hold rating as Q1 growth was aided by one-off items and margin weakness persists. The higher-value subscription strategy is gaining traction, with registered agent and legal advisory revenues up 17% and 25% y/y, respectively. Partnerships, notably with GoDaddy, are expanding LZ's distribution, but subscription units remained flat y/y at 1.92 million.
