Executive Summary
Overview of Monday.com’s Business Model
Monday.com is a cloud-based work operating system (Work OS) that has evolved from its early days as daPulse into a comprehensive, subscription-driven platform for team collaboration and project management. Its business model centers on offering a flexible, modular environment that supports diverse workflows—from task tracking and visual boards to advanced automation and AI-driven insights. The platform’s product-led growth strategy, bolstered by a multi-product suite (including CRM, developer tools, and enterprise service management), enables rapid customer acquisition and upselling within its expanding global customer base.
Key Investment Highlights
Monday.com has demonstrated impressive growth, with customer numbers surging from just 6 early users to over 245,000 by 2024 and revenues growing from an estimated $10 million in its early stage to nearly $1 billion. Its high net dollar retention—consistently in the 110–120% range—illustrates its ability to expand revenue within existing accounts, driven by effective upselling and continuous product enhancements. The company’s strong free cash flow generation, robust gross margins around 89%, minimal debt, and ample liquidity further underscore its financial resilience. Moreover, strategic investments in AI and product diversification position Monday.com to capture additional market share and sustain its growth trajectory.
Major Risks and Mitigants
Key risks include a natural deceleration in revenue growth as the company scales, intensified competition from other SaaS platforms, and macroeconomic headwinds such as inflation and higher interest rates that could affect enterprise spending. Additionally, heavy reinvestment in areas like R&D, headcount, and AI integration may temporarily pressure operating margins. However, these risks are mitigated by Monday.com’s strong unit economics, demonstrated by high net dollar retention and efficient customer acquisition (LTV/CAC >3x), a solid balance sheet with virtually no debt, and its diversified product suite that spreads risk across multiple revenue streams. Rigorous adherence to regulatory and data security standards also provides a competitive advantage in attracting enterprise clients.
Summary of Valuation and Target Price
Target Price: $350
Based on detailed financial analysis, Monday.com currently trades at a premium valuation reflective of its strong growth prospects and operational efficiency. With a forward price-to-sales multiple in the low-to-mid teens and an enterprise value that signals investor confidence in its future earnings, the company is well-positioned relative to high-growth SaaS peers. Forecasts project revenue of approximately $1.22 billion and an EPS of around $0.78 for 2025, suggesting that, as margins improve and profitability solidifies, Monday.com could see a normalization of multiples. While the exact target price will depend on evolving market conditions and final guidance, our analysis supports a valuation that rewards Monday.com’s proven growth trajectory, robust free cash flow, and strategic investments in innovation, making it an attractive long-term investment opportunity.
1. History and Development Timeline
Founding and Early Development (2012–2014):
Monday.com was founded in 2012 under the name daPulse by Roy Mann and Eran Zinman. The co-founders identified common pain points in team collaboration and set out to build a tool people “actually love to use”. After securing a $1.5 million seed round in 2012, the team built a prototype in 2013. The product officially launched in 2014 from a small Tel Aviv office, and the company onboarded its first 6 customers, holding its first board meeting that year.
Rapid User Growth and Feature Expansion (2014–2017):
In 2014, daPulse saw explosive growth – the team grew by 300%, and the customer count jumped to 3,181 (a 50,000% increase in that year alone). By 2015, they raised a $7.6 million Series A and reached 7,438 customers. A mobile app was introduced in 2016, aligning with the era’s mobile-first needs, and by the end of 2016 the customer base reached 18,472 alongside a $25 million Series B funding. In 2017, the platform gained significant recognition (e.g. named “Most Promising Startup” by Globes). Later that year, daPulse rebranded to Monday.com to better reflect a work tool people use daily. A $50 million Series C was raised as the user base swelled to nearly 66,000 (adding ~48k customers in 2017 alone). Key features that attracted early users included the highly visual boards (with Kanban-style task cards), simple customization of workflows, and an emphasis on team transparency and collaboration – elements that made the tool intuitive yet powerful for a broad range of teams.
Work OS Transformation and Product Suite (2018–2021):
By 2018, Monday.com was hosting its first user conferences and building a community around “Startup for Startup” knowledge-sharing. In 2019, Monday.com achieved unicorn status with a $150 million Series D at a >$1B valuation, adding over 93,000 new customers that year and surpassing 100,000 total customers globally. A major turning point came in 2020 with the launch of Monday 2.0 – evolving the product into a full Work Operating System (Work OS). This Work OS introduced a low-code framework of modular building blocks, enabling organizations to build custom apps and workflows on the platform in minutes. Around this time, Monday.com also launched an apps marketplace and developer framework (Monday Apps) allowing third-party apps/extensions on the platform and introduced Dashboard features for advanced reporting (famously including a llama farm demo, reflecting the company’s quirky culture). These enhancements attracted customers looking for a flexible, all-in-one work management solution beyond simple task tracking. In June 2021, Monday.com went public on Nasdaq (ticker: MNDY). Post-IPO, it continued rapid innovation: in July 2021 it launched Monday Workdocs, a collaborative document tool turning text into actionable items – the first major building block outside the traditional boards. By the end of 2021, the customer count had grown to over 152,000 worldwide.
Multi-Product Expansion and AI Integration (2022–2024):
In 2022, Monday.com began branding itself as a multi-product company. It launched Monday WorkForms (custom forms and surveys) and Monday Canvas (real-time collaborative whiteboard) in early 2022, and rolled out tailored solutions like Monday Sales CRM, Monday Dev (for software development teams), Marketing and Projects products later that year – each built on the Work OS but packaged for specific verticals. These additions signaled that Monday.com’s platform could spawn distinct applications, broadening its market reach. In 2023, the company made a significant leap into artificial intelligence. In March 2023, it introduced the Monday AI Assistant and opened up the platform for third-party developers to create AI apps on Work OS. This was shortly after upgrading its backend with MondayDB, a new infrastructure enabling 5x faster board performance and scalability for large enterprise use cases (launched in June 2023). Together, these developments show Monday.com’s timeline from a single project tracking tool to a versatile Work OS with automation, integrations, docs, forms, and AI – key functionalities that attracted customers seeking a one-stop, customizable work management platform. Each stage of its evolution – from easy-to-use team boards to a robust app platform with AI – helped the company capture new user bases and expand within organizations.
Table 1: Work OS Development Stages (Historical Data)
| Stage of Work OS | Year/Period | Customer Count | Total Revenue Generated | Net Dollar Retention Rate |
| Early Version | 2012–2014 | 6 → ~3,000 | ~$10M (estimate) | N/A (early stage) |
| Rapid Growth & Feature Expansion | 2014–2017 | ~3,000 → ~66,000 | ~$25M–$50M (estimate) | ~110–115% (estimate) |
| Work OS Transformation | 2020 | ~100,000 | ~$161M (FY2020) | ~120% (estimate) |
| Multi-Product & AI Integration | 2021–2024 | ~152,000 (2021) → ~245,000 (2024) | ~$308M (2021) → ~$972M (2024) | 112–115% |

2. Performance Metrics at Each Development Stage
Customer Growth Milestones
Monday.com’s user adoption has grown dramatically through its development stages. After launch, it went from just 6 paying teams in 2014 to over 3,000 customers within one year, leveraging a product-led growth model (easy onboarding and viral team collaboration). By 2016, it had ~18.5k customers, and after rebranding to Monday.com and pushing global marketing in 2017, it added nearly 50k customers that year. The growth continued exponentially: by late 2019, Monday.com had over 100,000 customers worldwide. The Work OS re-launch in 2020 likely helped sustain momentum – despite the pandemic, Monday.com’s user base benefited from remote work trends. Indeed, by the end of 2021 it reached 152,000 customers. As of the end of 2024, Monday.com reports approximately 245,000 customers using its platform, reflecting continued strong acquisition. Each major version/update corresponded with surges in customer count (e.g. the introduction of Monday 2.0 Work OS in 2020 helped push the company from ~100k to 150k+ customers over the next year).
Revenue Growth by Stage
Financially, Monday.com’s revenue has mirrored its customer expansion. The company had relatively modest revenues in its early years, then saw accelerating growth post-2017. In 2019, before the Work OS launch, Monday.com’s revenue was around $78–80 million (extrapolated from 2020 figures) and then more than doubled in 2020. 2020 revenue reached $161.1 million (up 106% year-over-year), showing how the Work OS transformation and increased demand for remote collaboration drove sales. In 2021, revenue grew a further 91% to $308.2 million. This was the year Monday introduced new products like WorkForms and Canvas (Q4’21) and expanded enterprise features, which helped land larger customers – indeed, the number of $50k+ ARR customers tripled in 2021. 2022 saw revenue of $519.0 million (another 68% increase), as Monday.com continued adding tens of thousands of customers and began its multi-product sales (CRM, dev, etc.). By 2023, revenue reached $729.7 million (growth of ~40.6% YoY). The growth rate moderated as the base became larger and macro conditions tightened, but was still robust. For 2024, Monday.com’s revenue is around $972 million (trailing twelve months), implying ~33% growth over 2023. We can see each phase of development contributing to revenue: the initial core product got them to ~$80M, Work OS and global expansion took them past $300M in 2021, and the broadened product suite plus upmarket move has pushed revenue close to the $1 billion mark by 2024.
Net Dollar Retention (NDR) Over Time
Monday.com’s net dollar retention rate – a key SaaS metric indicating revenue expansion within existing customers – has been consistently high through its stages, though with some decline as the customer base expanded. For large teams, NDR was exceptionally strong early on: in FY2021, the net dollar retention for customers with 10+ users was over 135. This means existing larger clients expanded usage by 35%+ on average, reflecting effective upselling of seats and new product features. Overall NDR (all customers) wasn’t explicitly stated then, but was likely around 120%. In FY2022, Monday reported overall NDR “over 120%”, and 130%+ for 10+ user customers – indicating slightly lower expansion than the prior year’s cohort, but still very high. By early 2023, NDR was gradually normalizing: Q1 2023 results showed an NDR just above 115% overall, and 125% for both 10+ user customers and those with >$50k ARR. This suggests that while smaller customers expanded less (dragging the average down), the larger enterprise customers continued to grow their spend by 25% or more year-on-year. As of the end of 2024, Monday.com’s net dollar retention stands at 112% overall. For its >10-user segment, the latest reported NDR is about 115%. This slight downward trend in NDR over time is common as a SaaS company scales (it’s harder to maintain >120% expansion on a much larger revenue base), but Monday.com’s ability to keep NDR in the 110–120%+ range across stages demonstrates strong customer success and effective expansion (through adding users, upselling new product modules, etc.). Each major product enhancement (e.g. adding Automations, Dashboards, Advanced integrations, then Workdocs, and now AI features) has provided more value to existing customers, contributing to these high retention rates historically.
Historical Financial Contributions
It’s challenging to break out “revenue by version,” since Monday.com sells subscriptions rather than distinct version licenses. However, we can infer that the Work OS (launched 2020) and subsequent product modules significantly boosted monetization. For instance, Monday’s Annual Recurring Revenue Run-Rate was about $236M by early 2021, and with the Work OS launch and expansions, actual revenue in 2021 hit $308M, then $519M in 2022. So roughly, the “Monday 2.0” era (2020–2021) contributed on the order of a few hundred million dollars in new revenue. By 2022–2023, the newer products (WorkForms, CRM, etc.) and upsell to enterprise likely contributed meaningfully – Monday.com noted that in 2021 enterprise ($50k+ ARR) customers grew 200%, and in 2022 the count of $50k+ customers continued to rise (1,683 such customers in Q1 2023, +75% YoY). This indicates that later versions and features geared toward higher-end use cases have been a major driver of revenue growth. In summary, each stage of Monday.com’s development – from initial team adoption, to viral growth, to enterprise Work OS – is reflected in step-changes in its user and revenue metrics, with consistently high net retention ensuring each cohort of customers contributes more over time than they did at acquisition.
3. Current Market Comparison
To contextualize Monday.com’s current standing, we compare its customer base, net dollar retention, and revenue scale with several similar work management and collaboration platforms:
- Monday.com (Work OS): ~245,000 customers as of end 2024. Net dollar retention (overall) about 112% (with ~115% for larger customers). Annual revenue is nearly $1 billion (FY2024 ~$972M), after growing ~33% year-on-year. Monday has a broad user base across industries and has achieved a sizeable enterprise segment (3,201 customers paying >$50k ARR) while still serving many small teams.
- Atlassian (Jira & Trello): Atlassian is the company behind Jira, Trello, Confluence and other work tools. It serves over 300,000 customers worldwide – by far the largest user base in this segment (Jira alone is used by the majority of software teams, and Trello has tens of millions of users). Atlassian’s revenue was $3.5 billion in FY2023, reaching $4.4B in FY2024. While Atlassian does not regularly disclose a single net retention figure, it has noted very strong expansion historically. During its cloud transition, Atlassian achieved 130%+ net revenue retention consistently, and one analysis estimated a net retention rate of ~147% at one point. In recent shareholder letters, Atlassian emphasizes a 98%+ logo retention (very low churn) for its large customers. Essentially, Atlassian’s metrics indicate a massive, diversified customer base with healthy expansion – though its growth comes more from volume (it targets self-serve teams) whereas Monday.com, Asana, and Smartsheet focus more on higher spend per account.
- Asana: Asana reported 139,000+ paying customers in FY2023, placing it in the same ballpark as Monday.com in terms of paying organizations. Its net dollar retention varies by segment – overall NDR was ~115% in Q4 FY2023, while for large customers (>$100k spend) NDR was >135%. This dichotomy is similar to Monday’s (smaller clients expand less, but big clients expand a lot). Asana’s annual revenue in its FY2023 was $547.2 million, up 45% YoY. Asana continues to grow (FY2024 guidance ~$638M). However, Asana has been operating at a heavy loss, indicating a different strategy – it spends aggressively to acquire and upsell users (reflected in a high R&D and S&M spend as we’ll see later). In market position, Asana is often seen alongside Monday.com as a top pure-play work management tool; Monday currently surpasses Asana in revenue and total customers, but both are leaders in their space with strong retention and growth among enterprise clients.
- Smartsheet: Smartsheet caters to collaborative work management with a spreadsheet-like interface, targeting many of the same use cases (project management, marketing, etc.). Smartsheet counts its customers in terms of domains and larger accounts – it had ~18,093 customers paying >$5k ACV in FY2023. (A 2019 report noted “100,000 customer domains” in total, which likely includes many small teams or single users). Smartsheet’s net dollar retention was 125% exiting FY2023, one of the highest in the industry, though this has tapered to around 118% more recently amid macro pressures. Smartsheet’s revenue for FY2023 (year ended Jan 2023) was approximately $766 million (35–38% growth), and it is on track to approach ~$940M in FY2024. Compared to Monday.com, Smartsheet has slightly fewer large customers (1,484 customers over $100k ACV in FY2023), but its overall scale and growth are similar. Both companies compete closely, although Smartsheet historically penetrated enterprise accounts via bottom-up adoption in departments (with its familiar spreadsheet feel), whereas Monday emphasizes a flexible app platform. Today, their customer bases and even revenues are in a comparable range, with Monday.com growing a bit faster recently.
- ClickUp: ClickUp is a private competitor that has rapidly emerged in the last few years with an all-in-one productivity platform. It boasts over 8 million users across 1.6 million teams (including free users) as of 2023 – indicating a very large user footprint, though many are likely on the free tier. In terms of paying customers, ClickUp’s figures aren’t publicly broken out, but the company grew from $4M ARR to $100M+ ARR in 2 years (2020–2022), reflecting extraordinary growth. Assuming $100M ARR ($8M monthly revenue) by 2023, ClickUp’s annual revenue could be in the low hundreds of millions now. ClickUp’s net retention is not disclosed, but its leadership claims it is “very high” as well – likely bolstered by a steady stream of new features that encourage users to consolidate more work in ClickUp. ClickUp’s strategy (freemium model, weekly feature releases, expansive functionality from docs to chat to goals) has given it momentum particularly with small businesses and tech startups. While smaller than Monday.com or Asana in revenue, ClickUp is considered a fast-growing challenger. Its customer base (especially paid) is less transparent, but it likely has tens of thousands of paying teams. In market comparisons, ClickUp often differentiates itself with aggressive pricing and rapid innovation, which has driven its user count up impressively, albeit with higher cash burn (they raised $400M in 2021 to fund growth).
- Trello: Trello, now part of Atlassian, is more of an entry-level kanban tool but is worth noting due to its popularity. It has over 50 million registered users as of 2021. Many of those are free users; Trello’s revenue is bundled into Atlassian’s numbers and is not reported standalone. As a simpler tool, Trello likely has lower average revenue per user and a subset of Atlassian’s 300k customer count (many Atlassian customers use multiple products including Trello and Jira). Net retention for Trello itself isn’t disclosed, but Atlassian’s overall expansion metrics apply. In the context of Monday.com, Trello often served as a lightweight competitor; however, Monday’s strategy has been to offer far deeper functionality (automations, integrations, multi-board workflows, etc.), thus capturing customers who outgrow Trello. Atlassian has been integrating Trello with its ecosystem (e.g., linking Jira and Trello) to upsell those users into higher-tier plans on Jira or Confluence.
Summary of Current Standing:
Monday.com sits in a competitive field with other work management SaaS. It compares favorably in many key metrics: its customer count (~245k) is higher than Asana’s paying customers (~139k) and Smartsheet’s (estimated $0.55B). Atlassian remains much larger (multi-billion) due to its broad portfolio and longer history. ClickUp and Trello illustrate the low end and high end of user counts (ClickUp with huge user adoption but still scaling monetization; Trello with mass adoption as part of Atlassian). Overall, Monday.com has achieved a leadership position – it is often mentioned alongside Asana and Smartsheet as a top 3 modern work management platform – and its metrics reflect a company that successfully balances growth with retention at scale.
Table 2: Peer Comparison for Work OS Product
| Company/Product | Customer Count | Revenue Generated (Latest FY) | Net Dollar Retention Rate |
| Monday.com | ~245,000 | ~$972M | 112–115% |
| Asana | ~139,000 paying customers | ~$547M (FY2023) | ~115% overall; 135%+ large |
| Smartsheet | ~100,000 customer domains | ~$940M (FY2024 projected) | 118–125% (large accounts) |
| Atlassian (Jira/Trello) | ~300,000 total customers* | Multi-billion-dollar revenue | ~120–130% (estimated for cloud) |
| ClickUp | (Paid users not fully disclosed; millions of freemium users) | ~$100M ARR (estimate) | High (claims >115%, not fully disclosed) |
| Notion | ~10,000+ paying teams (estimate) | ~$200M ARR (estimate) | N/A (varies by segment) |
*Note: Atlassian aggregates multiple products; its dedicated work management customer count is higher. Data are sourced from public reports and recent analyst research.
4. Evaluation of Other Services (Competitors’ Growth, Tech, and Positioning)
Over the past five years, Monday.com has broadened its product portfolio beyond its core Work OS platform by launching a series of add-on services. Each product was introduced at a distinct stage in the company’s evolution, and these services have been designed to address specific customer needs and revenue opportunities while complementing the core subscription model.
- Monday Sales CRM was introduced in 2022 as a fully customizable, no-code CRM built on Monday.com’s Work OS. This product unified sales workflows by integrating native email capabilities, sales automations, pipeline management, team goal tracking, and post-sale project monitoring. Initially, it attracted early adopters with its ease of integration with external apps such as Salesforce, HubSpot, and Slack. Although product-level revenue is not separately disclosed, industry estimates suggest that by FY2023, Monday Sales CRM contributed an estimated 5–10% of total company revenue, with a notable impact on Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) – so significant that management raised 2024 revenue guidance by approximately $7 million. The customer base for this service expanded rapidly, growing from about 2,500 customers in Q4 2022 to over 13,000 in Q4 2023, and reaching nearly 17,000 by Q1 2024. By late 2024, the CRM service had amassed around 25,000 customers, reflecting a fast-growing segment that now represents one of the fastest-growing user groups on the platform. Analysts note that nearly half of CRM deals have been won uncontested, indicating a large greenfield market for CRM adoption. With the potential to cross-sell to Monday.com’s extensive base of over 186,000 customers, the CRM service is positioned to remain a major driver of growth.
- Monday Dev was launched in beta during 2022 and reached full market launch in 2023. Designed specifically for software development teams, Monday Dev provides agile project management features such as sprint planning, backlog management, bug tracking, and release planning. Its key functionalities include Scrum boards, Kanban views, burndown charts, and pre-built templates for product lifecycle workflows. The platform integrates with popular developer tools like GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and Zendesk to create a seamless workflow between code management and project tracking. Although the revenue contribution of Monday Dev remains minimal at this early stage—estimated to be less than 1% of total revenue—the product has shown promising growth. Customer numbers for Monday Dev increased from approximately 1,040 in Q3 2023 to about 1,448 in Q4 2023 (a 39% quarter-over-quarter growth), and early indications suggest that the base could approach 2,000+ by early 2024. With its focused approach for development teams and plans to incorporate additional developer-centric features (including potential AI-driven code assistance), Monday Dev is poised for strong growth, although it currently represents a small fraction of Monday.com’s overall revenue.
- Monday Marketer was launched in 2022 as a dedicated solution for marketing and creative teams. It offered end-to-end capabilities including creative asset review and approval, annotations with version control, and digital asset management tailored for campaign management. The product was designed to streamline the planning, production, and coordination of marketing projects. However, by 2023, Monday.com integrated the Marketer features into its core Work OS platform, thereby dissolving it as a standalone product. Consequently, no separate revenue or customer base is now reported for Monday Marketer. Instead, the marketing functionality is offered as part of the overall platform, enabling all customers to access these features without additional subscription cost. This strategic consolidation aimed to reduce friction for users and enhance cross-functional adoption while still serving the marketing segment, which remains a significant part of Monday.com’s total customer usage.
- Monday Projects initially targeted project management offices (PMOs) and teams managing complex projects. Introduced in 2022, it provided advanced features such as Gantt charts, timeline roadmaps, dependency tracking, milestone and baseline comparisons, and portfolio oversight for enterprises. Although originally offered as a distinct add-on, Monday Projects was merged back into the core Work OS by 2023. As a result, it does not have separate revenue figures; its functionality is now counted within the overall subscription revenue. Nonetheless, its advanced project management capabilities continue to be a strategic backbone for enterprise users, particularly for large-scale deployments—one customer deployment was reported to involve as many as 80,000 seats. This integration enables a unified user experience across the platform, driving scalability from small teams to full enterprise PMOs.
- Monday Service represents the newest addition to the platform and was launched in beta in late 2023, with a full release in 2024. Targeting Enterprise Service Management (ESM), Monday Service consolidates helpdesk ticketing, IT requests, incident management, and service project tracking into a single, unified interface. Its key features include a unified service request inbox, integrated knowledge base, and AI-driven automations for efficient ticket classification and routing. As of its initial launch, Monday Service contributed less than 1% of total revenue, reflecting its nascent status. However, early adoption by enterprise clients has been promising, with beta users generating over 215,000 service tickets. Despite the low initial revenue share, the high average contract value (ACV) associated with Service contracts suggests that as the platform scales, Monday Service could become a major revenue driver in the IT service management space—a market that represents a multi-billion-dollar opportunity. Management emphasizes that the integration of Monday Service into the broader Work OS ecosystem will allow for seamless cross-sell to existing customers, thereby driving long-term growth.
5. AI-Driven Software Development and Monetization
Monday.com’s AI Strategy and Profitability
Monday.com has actively embraced AI as part of its Work OS platform, with a focus on making these capabilities practical and revenue-generating. The flagship initiative is the Monday AI Assistant, announced in March 2023. This AI Assistant can help users automate tasks like drafting updates, summarizing project statuses, or even generating board content from natural language. By integrating AI directly into the workflows, Monday.com increases the stickiness and value of its product – which in turn can justify higher pricing tiers or upsells. In fact, Monday’s management indicated they updated pricing in 2023 to reflect the greater value delivered (which includes new AI features). While Monday.com hasn’t broken out “AI revenue” (the AI features are bundled into the platform rather than sold separately as of 2023), they contribute to monetization by driving expansion within accounts. For example, a team that finds strong utility in the AI assistant may upgrade to a higher plan for broader access or add more users who can benefit from AI-driven efficiencies. Additionally, Monday.com opened its platform for third-party AI app development – this means external developers (or customers’ own developers) can build AI-powered apps or automations on Monday. This strategy can indirectly generate revenue: a richer app ecosystem makes Monday.com more attractive to enterprise clients, and some apps could be monetized through the Monday marketplace in the future, with revenue sharing.
Growth Trajectory of AI-Powered Offerings
The introduction of AI is likely to be a significant growth catalyst for Monday.com in the coming years. Initially, AI features may serve as a differentiator and retention tool – making existing customers more likely to stick and expand (improving NDR). Over time, as the AI capabilities mature, Monday.com can potentially upsell AI as an add-on (similar to how some competitors like ClickUp charge extra for AI). Given the general enthusiasm for AI, Monday.com’s AI roadmap could include advanced predictive analytics (e.g., forecasting project delays), intelligent automation (auto-assigning tasks based on past patterns), and more natural language interfaces (e.g., a chatbot to query your work data). If executed well, these could open up new market segments (some companies might choose Monday.com specifically for its AI capabilities to augment their workforce). As a trajectory, one can imagine Monday.com’s AI offerings contributing meaningfully to revenue within 1–2 years post-launch – perhaps through higher enterprise plan adoption (since large enterprises are willing to pay for AI features that improve productivity at scale). To illustrate impact: when Monday introduced automations and integrations a few years ago, those became key selling points for premium tiers; similarly, AI features now could justify premium pricing and improve net expansion. In terms of timeline: 2023 was the launch/pilot phase for Monday AI, 2024 will likely see it rolled out to all users and integrated deeply (with marketing highlighting AI in sales cycles), and by 2025 and beyond the AI-driven functionality could be standard for most Monday.com deployments, possibly contributing to upsell in a large portion of customer renewals.
Timeline of AI Implementation & Revenue Impact
Chronologically, Monday.com’s journey with AI accelerated in 2023. By Q1 2023 they previewed the AI Assistant; in H2 2023 they likely expanded beta access. Competitors like Asana and Atlassian also launched AI around May–June 2023, so Monday.com’s timing was competitive. It’s early to quantify revenue impact in 2023, but we can extrapolate: Monday.com’s NDR ticked up slightly from ~111% in Q3 to 112% in Q4 2024, possibly aided by new features including AI. The Total Addressable Market for AI work management is growing – if Monday can capture additional spend from existing clients for AI, it will show up in revenue per user increases. We might see more concrete financial impact in 2024 and 2025, for example through higher average contract values or faster growth in enterprise accounts attributable to AI-enabled deals. Additionally, Monday.com’s Investor Day (Dec 2023) emphasized upcoming product milestones – we can expect AI to be a focal point in those. Summarily, the timeline: 2023 (introduce AI, minimal direct revenue but sets stage), 2024 (integrate AI into core product, use in sales to win deals, possibly initial monetization if an AI add-on is offered), 2025 (AI as a standard part of premium packages, measurable uptick in ARPU – average revenue per user).
R&D Spending as a Percentage of Expenses
Monday.com has consistently devoted a significant share of its resources to Research & Development, which includes AI development. In Q4 2023, R&D expense was 16% of revenue (same as the prior year). For the full fiscal year 2023, R&D was $117.8M, also about 16% of revenue (down slightly from 18% in 2022). To put this in context, Monday’s R&D spend as a percentage of total operating expenses was roughly 20% in 2023 (since it spends even more on sales & marketing). The company indicated plans to increase investment in R&D going forward – unsurprising as it builds out AI and other new capabilities.
To gauge whether Monday.com’s R&D intensity is high or low, we compare it with industry peers (notably other SaaS and software companies). Here’s a comparative look at R&D spending (as a % of revenue) for Monday and at least ten peers:
- Monday.com: ~16% of revenue on R&D in FY2023 (down from ~18% in FY2022).
- Asana: Very R&D-heavy model – Asana spent about $297M on R&D in FY2023 on $547M revenue, roughly 54% of revenue.
- Atlassian: Historically ~35–40% of revenue on R&D. In fact, Atlassian averaged ~48% of revenue since 2016.
- Smartsheet: ~27–28% of revenue in R&D.
- Slack (pre-acquisition): R&D was ~37% of revenue in one 2019 quarter, ~21% at $800M annual scale.
- ServiceNow: ~25–30% of revenue on R&D (at $8.5B revenue scale in 2024).
- Workday: ~30–35% of revenue, e.g., $2.464B on R&D with $7.3B revenue in FY2024.
- Salesforce: ~19% in FY2023 ($5B on $26.5B revenue).
- Adobe: ~17–18% (e.g., $3.47B on $20B revenue).
- Microsoft: ~12–13% in recent years, $27.2B on $212B revenue in 2023.
When comparing these, we see Monday.com’s R&D at 16% of revenue is lower than that of Asana, Atlassian, or Workday (which devote 30–50%), but higher than giants like Microsoft or even Salesforce. It’s also higher than some peers at similar scale (Smartsheet ~28%, but Monday’s is 16%; note that Monday invests heavily in S&M). The comparative analysis shows a spectrum: product-led companies like Atlassian and Asana pour a very large portion into R&D, while more mature firms like Salesforce have a more balanced spend. Monday.com sits somewhat in between – it heavily spends on go-to-market but also keeps innovation at the forefront. The key takeaway is that Monday.com’s R&D spending is healthy and in line with sustaining innovation (AI, etc.). Relative to peers, it suggests Monday is aiming for efficient growth – it achieved positive operating income by late 2023, something Asana has not done, partly by controlling R&D spend as a percentage. Going forward, to remain competitive in AI and platform extensibility, Monday.com will likely move closer to the higher end of R&D investment among its peer group, while still keeping an eye on profitability.
Table 3: AI & R&D Comparative Data (FY2023/Latest Data)
| Metric | Monday.com | Asana | Atlassian | Smartsheet | ClickUp | Notion | Other Peers (avg.) |
| R&D as % of Revenue | ~16% | ~54% | ~48% | ~27–28% | (Undisclosed) | ~20% | 20–40% |
| AI-Driven Feature Adoption | High | Moderate | Moderate | Low to Moderate | High (AI add-on) | Moderate | Varies |
| Upsell Contribution from AI | Contributing to 5–10% upsell in ARR (estimate) | N/A (bundled) | N/A (part of ecosystem) | Minimal currently | Significant potential | Early stage | 5–15% (range) |
6. Financial Statement Analysis
6.1 Income Statement
6.1.1 Revenue Projections
Monday.com’s revenue is expected to continue strong growth into 2025, though at a moderating rate compared to prior years. The company’s guidance for full-year 2025 revenue is $1.208–$1.221 billion, representing about 24%–26% year-over-year growth. This is a deceleration from the 33% growth achieved in 2024, aligning with broader SaaS trends of growth normalization as the company’s scale increases. Analysts’ consensus mirrors this outlook, forecasting 2025 revenue of roughly $1.22 billion (approximately 25% YoY growth). For context, Monday.com’s historical revenue growth was much higher (five-year CAGR ~38%), so the 2025 projection reflects a more mature growth phase and cautious consideration of macroeconomic factors.
Table: Revenue and YoY Growth (USD Millions)
| Year | Revenue | YoY Growth |
| 2022 | $519 | +68% |
| 2023 | $730 | +41% |
| 2024 | $972 | +33% |
| 2025P | ~$1,215 | +25% |
2025P = 2025 Projected (midpoint of guidance range).
The slowdown in growth (from 68% in 2022 to ~25% in 2025) is partly due to the law of large numbers and a more challenging macro environment. In 2024, many SaaS companies saw cautious enterprise spending; Monday.com’s 2025 guidance even factors in a ~1–2% FX headwind. Nevertheless, Monday.com’s projected ~25% growth outpaces the broader software industry’s ~12% expected growth, indicating it is gaining share in its market. Key drivers for 2025 revenue include continued expansion of its Work OS platform (for example, growth in CRM and Dev products) and new offerings such as Monday Service and AI features, which management expects to drive strong demand across customers of all sizes.
6.1.2 Gross Profit Trends
Monday.com has historically maintained very high gross margins, characteristic of a well-scaled SaaS business. In 2024, gross profit was $868.3 million on $972.0 million revenue, implying a gross margin of approximately 89%. Gross margins have been consistently in the high-80s (around 88–90%) in recent years, and the company aims to maintain gross margins in the “high 80s” range long-term. For 2025, we can expect gross profit to rise in line with revenue, reaching roughly $1.08–$1.09 billion (assuming an 89% margin on approximately $1.22B revenue). This would mark another year of robust gross profit growth (approximately 24% YoY), following 34% growth in 2024.
Table: Gross Profit and Margin
| Year | Gross Profit (USD) | Gross Margin (%) |
| 2022 | ~$460M (est.) | ~88% (est.) |
| 2023 | $649.1M | 89% (GAAP) |
| 2024 | $868.3M | 89% (GAAP) |
| 2025P | ~$1,080M | ~89% (proj.) |
Monday.com’s high gross margin reflects efficient cost of revenue management (cloud infrastructure and support costs) and the scalability of its subscription model. Management’s focus on AI features and new products is not expected to materially increase cost of revenue, and economies of scale may even enable slight margin improvement. Thus, gross profit dollars are projected to increase substantially while gross margin percentage remains roughly steady around the high-80s.
6.1.3 Operating Income
Operating income is on a strong improving trajectory, as Monday.com grows revenue faster than operating expenses and gains efficiency. In GAAP terms, the company is still near break-even but rapidly approaching profitability. Monday.com’s GAAP operating loss narrowed to $21.0 million in 2024 (−2% margin) from a $38.6 million loss in 2023 (−5% margin). This is a dramatic improvement from 2022’s $152M loss (−29% margin). On an adjusted (non-GAAP) basis, operating income turned positive in 2023 and soared in 2024: non-GAAP operating income was $61.6 million in 2023 (8% margin) rising to $132.4 million in 2024 (14% margin). These gains reflect cost discipline and scale – for instance, sales & marketing expense fell from approximately 60% of revenue in 2023 to about 55% in 2024 as the company grew more efficiently. Management attributed the record operating margin improvement to business efficiencies and the scalable nature of their model.
For 2025, Monday.com is guiding for further operating margin improvement on a non-GAAP basis, albeit with heavy reinvestment. The company expects non-GAAP operating income of $134–$142 million in 2025, for an 11%–12% operating margin. This suggests a roughly flat adjusted operating profit versus 2024 (approximately $138M midpoint in 2025 versus $132.4M in 2024), indicating that operating expenses will grow nearly as fast as revenue. In other words, Monday.com plans to reinvest strongly in 2025 (especially in R&D and go-to-market), rather than expand margins significantly. Management announced plans to increase headcount by approximately 30% in 2025 (primarily in sales, R&D, and product) to drive future growth. This investment is why the projected non-GAAP operating margin (11–12%) is slightly below 2024’s 14%. However, even with this reinvestment, GAAP operating results are expected to continue moving toward breakeven or better. The GAAP operating loss in 2025 will likely shrink further (possibly approaching $0 to –$10 million), as revenue growth and efficiency gains offset increased stock-based compensation and expenses.
Table: Operating Income (Loss) and Margin
| Year | GAAP Operating Income (Loss) | Op Margin (GAAP) | Non-GAAP Operating Income | Op Margin (Non-GAAP) |
| 2022 | –$152.0M | –29% | –$47.1M | –9% |
| 2023 | –$38.6M | –5% | $61.6M | 8% |
| 2024 | –$21.0M | –2% | $132.4M | 14% |
| 2025P | (N/A – projected breakeven) | ~0% (est.) | ~$138M | ~11% (guidance) |
2025 projections are given in non-GAAP terms (guidance); GAAP operating income for 2025 is not guided and would be lower due to stock-based compensation.
6.1.4 Net Income & EPS
After years of losses, Monday.com achieved GAAP profitability in 2024 and is expected to grow net income further in 2025. GAAP net income for 2024 was $32.4 million (EPS of $0.62 per diluted share), a significant turnaround from the $1.9 million net loss in 2023 (EPS of –$0.04). This positive net income in 2024 was driven by strong revenue growth and substantial interest income from the company’s cash holdings, which exceed $1.4 billion. For 2025, analysts forecast GAAP EPS of approximately $0.78, representing roughly a 20% year-over-year improvement. With an estimated share count of around 50 million diluted shares, this implies net income on the order of $40 million in 2025. The improving net income reflects the company’s shift toward profitability while still investing in growth. Although on a non-GAAP basis (excluding stock-based compensation) Monday.com’s EPS is much higher, here we focus on GAAP figures. Overall, the expected EPS growth in 2025 is driven by continued revenue growth, improved operating efficiency, and modest headcount dilution.
Table: Net Income and EPS (GAAP)
| Year | GAAP Net Income (Loss) | GAAP Diluted EPS |
| 2022 | –$136.9M (net loss) | –$2.99 |
| 2023 | –$1.9M (net loss) | –$0.04 |
| 2024 | $32.4M | $0.62 |
| 2025P | ~$40M (projected) | ~$0.78 |
6.1.5 Free Cash Flow (FCF)
Free cash flow is a particular strength for Monday.com, as is common for SaaS companies with upfront billings and high margins. In 2024, Monday.com generated $295.8 million in free cash flow, calculated as operating cash flow of $311.1 million minus $15.3 million in capital expenditures. This resulted in an FCF margin of approximately 30%, an improvement from $204.9 million in free cash flow in 2023 (around 28% margin). The significant jump from 2022 to 2023 reflects the company’s move into positive cash flow territory at scale. For 2025, management expects free cash flow to be approximately $300–$308 million, yielding an FCF margin of about 25%. Although this represents a slight decline in margin compared to 2024, the absolute free cash flow is projected to remain robust. The margin reduction is likely due to increased investments in capital expenditures and working capital normalization as growth moderates. Overall, even at a 25% margin, Monday.com’s ability to convert a quarter of its revenue into free cash is a strong indicator of operational efficiency and sustainability.
Table: Free Cash Flow and Margin
| Year | Free Cash Flow | FCF Margin |
| 2022 | $8.1M (est.) | ~1.6% |
| 2023 | $204.9M | ~28% |
| 2024 | $295.8M | ~30% |
| 2025P | ~$304M | ~25% |
6.1.6 EBITDA & Multiples-Based Valuation
Adjusted EBITDA, which adds back non-cash expenses and stock-based compensation, is an important metric for evaluating Monday.com’s operational performance. Based on current guidance, non-GAAP operating income (excluding stock-based compensation) is expected to be around $138 million in 2025. Adding back depreciation and amortization, which totaled approximately $12 million in 2024, yields an estimated adjusted EBITDA of roughly $150 million for 2025. This represents nearly flat growth compared to 2024, where adjusted EBITDA was approximately $144 million. Traditional EBITDA multiples for mature companies are lower; however, high-growth SaaS companies often trade at much higher multiples. If a high-growth SaaS EV/EBITDA multiple of 40×–50× is applied to an estimated $150 million EBITDA, the implied enterprise value would range from $6 to $7.5 billion. In contrast, Monday.com’s current market valuation suggests an enterprise value of approximately $14 billion, reflecting investor expectations of substantial future earnings growth and margin expansion. The disparity indicates that market pricing is based on growth and free cash flow rather than current EBITDA levels. Analysts also note that Monday.com’s EV/Revenue and EV/FCF multiples are high compared to industry averages, reinforcing the view that investors are pricing in strong future performance.
6.1.7 Factors Influencing 2025 Projections
Monday.com’s 2025 financial outcomes will be shaped by several key catalysts, risks, and macro conditions:
- Product & Market Expansion: Rapid product innovation remains a major growth driver. New product modules such as Monday CRM, Monday Dev, and Monday Service, along with enhanced AI features, are expected to boost customer acquisition and drive higher annual recurring revenue (ARR). Continued expansion into the enterprise segment, evidenced by higher-value contracts and improved net dollar retention, is a key factor.
- Operational Efficiency: The company has demonstrated significant improvements in operating margins and free cash flow. Continued cost discipline, particularly in sales and marketing, along with economies of scale, is anticipated to support further efficiency gains even as headcount increases.
- Macro Environment: Broader economic conditions will impact Monday.com’s growth. While a challenging macro environment has slowed growth to around 25% in 2025, the company’s strong competitive position and digital transformation trends in enterprises help maintain robust performance. Currency headwinds (a 1–2% FX impact) are already factored into projections.
- Competitive Dynamics: Monday.com competes in a crowded SaaS market with strong players. Maintaining innovation through AI integration and product enhancements is critical to sustaining growth and defending market share. Any slowdown in innovation or increased pricing pressure from competitors could adversely affect projections.
- Expense Management and Reinvestment: The planned 30% headcount increase in 2025 underscores aggressive reinvestment in growth areas. While this may dampen short-term operating margins, it is expected to deliver long-term benefits by accelerating customer expansion and improving future profitability.
- Stock-Based Compensation: Continued equity compensation affects GAAP net income and EPS but is a non-cash expense. Its impact on dilution and reported earnings will be monitored closely, even as free cash flow remains strong.
Overall, Monday.com’s 2025 outlook is built on continued revenue growth, steady gross margins, improving operating income, and robust free cash flow generation. While growth moderates compared to earlier years, the company’s strong product portfolio, operational efficiencies, and strategic investments in AI and market expansion support a positive long-term trajectory.
6.2 Balance Sheet Analysis
Introduction
Below is further detail on Monday.com’s balance sheet, including liquidity, debt structure, working capital, and equity base.
6.2.1 Liquidity and Cash Position
Table 5.2.1 – Liquidity Metrics
| Year | Cash & Equivalents | Current Assets | Current Liabilities | Current Ratio |
| 2020 | $129.8 m | ~$156 m | $228.2 m | 0.7x |
| 2021 | $886.8 m | ~$932 m | $140.4 m | 6.6x |
| 2022 | $885.9 m | ~$924 m | ~$272 m | ~3.4x |
| 2023 | ~$1,100 m | ~$1,041 m | ~$447 m | ~2.3x |
| 2024 | ~$1,380 m | ~$1,532 m | ~$582 m | ~2.6x |
2022–2024 current assets/liabilities are estimated. Cash figures are year-end balances.
Key Takeaways:
Monday.com’s liquidity position is very strong. Cash and equivalents grew from $130m in 2020 to an estimated $1.3–1.4 billion by 2024. The huge jump in 2021 reflects IPO proceeds – the company raised net $735.9m from its June 2021 public offering, boosting cash to $886.8m. Since then, cash on hand has been roughly maintained or increased through positive cash flow (by 2024, cash exceeded $1.3bn). Current assets consistently outweigh current liabilities, resulting in high liquidity ratios. The current ratio was below 1.0 in 2020 (when the company had a working capital deficit pre-IPO), but after the IPO it shot up – current ratio ~6.6x in 2021 – and remains comfortably above 2x in recent years. This indicates the company has more than twice the short-term assets needed to cover short-term obligations. Even as deferred revenue and other current liabilities grew with the business, Monday.com’s expanding cash reserve kept liquidity plentiful. Overall, the balance sheet shows ample liquidity and a robust cash buffer, giving Monday.com flexibility to invest further or withstand economic downturns. Short-term solvency is not a concern, as the company can easily meet its obligations – by 2023–2024 it held over a billion dollars in cash against only a few hundred million in current liabilities, a very healthy ratio.
6.2.2 Debt Structure and Leverage
Table 5.2.2 – Leverage Metrics
| Year | Total Debt (Loans) | Debt-to-Equity Ratio | Interest Coverage (EBIT/Interest) |
| 2020 | $21.0 m | N/M (neg. equity) | N/M (loss) |
| 2021 | $0 m | 0% | N/M (no debt) |
| 2022 | $0 m | 0% | N/M (no debt) |
| 2023 | $0 m | 0% | N/M (no debt) |
| 2024 | $0 m | 0% | N/M (no debt) |
Key Takeaways:
Monday.com has minimal to no debt on its balance sheet. The only notable borrowing was a $21 million draw on a revolving credit facility in 2020 to support operations, which was fully repaid by mid-2021 using IPO funds. Since 2021, the company has carried zero bank debt. The debt-to-equity ratio is effectively 0% from 2021 onward, reflecting a capital structure entirely free of interest-bearing debt. This deleveraged position means leverage-related risk is very low – Monday.com is not reliant on borrowed money and thus avoids interest costs. In fact, by 2022–2024 the company was a net creditor, earning interest income on its large cash balances. Interest coverage is not meaningful in the traditional sense because Monday.com had no interest expense to cover – instead, it had net interest income. During the high-growth phase (2020–2021) when operating losses were significant, the company wisely relied on equity financing (venture capital and IPO proceeds) rather than debt, avoiding pressure of fixed payments. The result is a very strong balance sheet with virtually no leverage. This conservative debt stance, combined with growing equity, puts Monday.com in a favorable position: it faces no solvency risk from debt and can potentially take on strategic debt in the future if needed from a position of strength. Overall, Monday.com’s capital structure is equity-rich and debt-free, giving it financial flexibility and a low-risk profile in terms of leverage.
6.2.3 Working Capital and Equity Base
Table 5.2.3 – Working Capital and Shareholders’ Equity
| Year | Current Liabilities | Current Assets – Current Liabilities (Working Capital) | Shareholders’ Equity |
| 2020 | $228.2 m | –$72 m (deficit) | –$217.6 m |
| 2021 | $140.4 m | +$792 m (surplus) | $703.4 m |
| 2022 | ~$272 m | +$652 m (surplus) | $679.7 m |
| 2023 | ~$447 m | +$594 m (surplus) | $813.5 m |
| 2024 | ~$582 m | +$950 m (surplus) | $1,030.2 m |
Key Takeaways:
Monday.com’s working capital turned strongly positive after the IPO and has remained high. In 2020, prior to raising capital, current liabilities exceeded current assets by about $72 million (working capital deficit) due to large deferred revenue balances and limited cash – a common situation for pre-profit startups. This deficit was fully reversed in 2021, when the influx of cash from the IPO created a ~$792 million working capital surplus. Since then, working capital has stayed robust (hundreds of millions each year), as current assets (driven by cash) far outgrew current liabilities. By 2024, working capital is nearly $1 billion, indicating a significant cushion of liquid assets over short-term liabilities.
The shareholders’ equity (book value) also grew substantially, from a negative equity of –$217.6m in 2020 to over $1.03 billion in equity by 2024. The negative equity in 2020 was due to accumulated losses and convertible preferred shares (pre-IPO financing) on the balance sheet. The IPO in 2021 converted those preferred shares to equity and added new capital, bringing equity to $703.4m at end of 2021. Equity dipped slightly in 2022 as net losses continued (ending 2022 at $679.7m) but then climbed again in 2023–2024 thanks to improved profitability and additional share issuances through employee stock programs. By 2024, equity surpassed $1 billion, underlining the company’s growth in net assets. This strong equity base, combined with lack of debt, yields a high equity-to-assets ratio (over 60% equity financing). In summary, Monday.com’s short-term financial health is excellent – it has ample working capital to run operations, and a solid and growing equity foundation. The company’s net working capital and equity trends reflect its transition from a cash-consuming startup to a more self-sustaining enterprise with a fortified balance sheet.
6.3 Cash Flow Analysis
The following analysis examines Monday.com’s cash flow trends from 2019 through 2024, focusing on four key metrics: Operating Cash Flow (CFO), Investing Cash Flow (CFI), Net Income, and Free Cash Flow (FCF). Each section includes a table of annual values (in USD millions) with year-over-year growth rates, followed by an analysis of the drivers behind the changes (especially notable patterns in 2024) and projections for 2025 based on historical trends, industry benchmarks, and macroeconomic conditions. All growth rates are calculated on a year-over-year basis; “N/M” (not meaningful) is used where growth rates are not informative (e.g., when values turn from negative to positive).
Monday.com Cash Flow Analysis (2019–2024)
Operating Cash Flow (CFO)
Definition:
Operating Cash Flow (CFO) refers to the net cash generated (or used) by Monday.com’s core operations. Over the period, CFO improved dramatically—turning positive as the company scaled and enhanced its efficiency.
Table 1. Operating Cash Flow (2019–2024) and YoY Growth
| Year | Operating Cash Flow (USD million) | YoY Growth |
| 2019 | –36.7 | N/A |
| 2020 | –37.2 | –1% |
| 2021 | 16.4 | N/M (became positive) |
| 2022 | 27.1 | +65.9% |
| 2023 | 215.4 | +693.7% |
| 2024 | 311.1 | +44.4% |
Trend and 2024 Analysis:
Monday.com’s operating cash flow was negative in 2019–2020 while in high-growth mode but turned positive in 2021. In fiscal 2020, the company recorded a net operating cash outflow of about $37.2 million due to cash burn from rapid growth. By 2021, this swung to a positive $16.4 million as booming revenue (with a 91% increase in 2021) and improved efficiency offset operating losses. CFO accelerated further in 2022 (+66%) and then surged in 2023 to $215.4 million. The extraordinary 694% jump in 2023’s CFO was driven by a near break-even net income combined with large non-cash add-backs (such as stock-based compensation) and strong customer billings. In 2024, CFO grew an additional 44% to $311.1 million, outpacing revenue growth (~33% YoY) due to improved margins and continued high billings (deferred revenue inflows). Deferred revenue—cash collected in advance from customers—contributed heavily; for example, an increase in unearned revenue added $73 million of cash in 2024. Additionally, large non-cash expenses (e.g., stock-based compensation of $147 million in 2024) boosted operating cash generation even when GAAP profits remained modest. Management’s focus on efficiency in a challenging economy also helped drive record operating margins and free cash flow in 2024. In short, 2024’s strong CFO was the result of higher scale, improved operating leverage, and continued collection of upfront cash through the subscription model.
2025 Projection (CFO):
Looking ahead, Monday.com is expected to continue generating strong operating cash flows in 2025, although growth may moderate. The company’s 2025 outlook calls for 24%–26% revenue growth (targeting approximately $1.21 billion). With an anticipated non-GAAP operating margin of ~11%, the company should remain solidly cash-flow positive. It is projected that 2025 CFO will be roughly $320–330 million (a 3%–6% increase over 2024) under a scenario of slightly lower cash flow margin. This modest CFO growth reflects management’s plan to reinvest in growth (for example, a planned ~30% headcount expansion and new office leases). Monday.com forecasts a lower free cash flow margin (~25%) in 2025 compared to ~31% in 2024, implying additional spending to fuel growth. Even so, absolute CFO should improve with higher revenue.
Investing Cash Flow (CFI)
Definition:
Investing Cash Flow (CFI) captures cash used in investments such as capital expenditures, software development capitalization, purchases of marketable securities, or acquisitions. For Monday.com, CFI has been negative (net cash outflow) each year, but its magnitude has varied as the company balanced reinvestment in the business with treasury management.
Table 2. Investing Cash Flow (2019–2024) and YoY Change
| Year | Investing Cash Flow (USD million) | YoY Change |
| 2019 | –3.1 | N/A |
| 2020 | –11.5 | –* (outflow increased) |
| 2021 | –3.6 | +68% (less outflow) |
| 2022 | –19.0 | –423% (outflow increased) |
| 2023 | –10.5 | +45% (less outflow) |
| 2024 | –70.8 | –576% (outflow increased) |
Trend and 2024 Analysis:
Investing cash flows generally grew in absolute terms as Monday.com expanded, with some fluctuations due to strategic cash management. In 2019, outflows were minimal ($3 million) reflecting minor capital expenditures. In 2020, outflows jumped to about $11.5 million as spending on infrastructure (such as purchasing servers and office build-outs) increased. The cash influx from the IPO in 2021 helped reduce net investing outflows that year to –$3.6 million, as some cash parked in short-term investments was reallocated.
By 2022, investing outflows grew again to $19.0 million as the company expanded its engineering and office footprint. Significant capital expenditures (around $16 million) on office expansions and equipment, plus capitalized software development costs (about $3 million), contributed to the higher outflow. Additionally, the company began investing excess cash into marketable securities, with about $10 million invested in 2022.
In 2023, investing cash flow moderated to –$10.5 million, as capex needs were lower (around $7.9 million) due to the completion of major office build-outs and reduced spending on new initiatives. However, 2024 bucked the trend with a significant spike in investing outflows to $70.8 million. This jump was driven by two key factors:
- Investment of Surplus Cash in Securities:
With surging operating cash flow in 2023–2024, Monday.com accumulated a cash surplus and deployed a large portion into short-term marketable securities to earn interest. An outflow of $55.6 million for “Investment in Securities” was recorded in 2024. - Capital Expenditures and Office Expansion:
Monday.com significantly expanded its workforce (35% growth to 2,500 employees in 2024) and prepared for further expansion. Office expansion projects, including leasing 10 additional floors in a Tel Aviv tower, led to increased capex. Capital expenditures rose to about $13.2 million in 2024 (up from $7.9 million the prior year), with an additional approximately $2 million in capitalized software development costs.
No major cash inflows from asset sales were recorded in 2024 to offset these outflows.
2025 Projection (CFI):
The 2025 investing cash flow will depend on ongoing internal expansion and cash management strategies. Capex is expected to remain elevated ($15–20 million) due to a planned 30% headcount increase and new office space. Monday.com is also focusing on AI/product development, which may involve minor capitalized software costs. The decision to invest further surplus cash in securities depends on interest rates and potential acquisitions. If no major acquisitions occur, overall 2025 investing outflows might be lower than 2024’s $70.8 million but still substantial (perhaps $50 million).
Net Income
Definition:
Net Income represents the company’s bottom-line profit or loss. Monday.com incurred net losses during most of the 2019–2023 period but improved markedly and turned positive by 2024.
Table 3. GAAP Net Income (2019–2024) and YoY Growth
| Year | GAAP Net Income (USD million) | YoY Growth |
| 2019 | –91.6 | N/A |
| 2020 | –152.2 | –66% (loss widened) |
| 2021 | –129.3 | +15% (loss narrowed) |
| 2022 | –136.9 | –6% (loss widened) |
| 2023 | –1.9 | +99% |
| 2024 | 32.4 | N/M (turned positive) |
Trend and 2024 Analysis:
In 2019, Monday.com reported a net loss of $91.6 million, which deepened to $152.2 million in 2020 as the company doubled its revenue and significantly increased expenses. By 2021, net loss narrowed to $129.3 million (a 15% improvement) even though revenue nearly doubled, showing better expense control. In 2022, the net loss slightly widened to $136.9 million. However, 2023 was a turning point: net loss nearly disappeared, at –$1.9 million, as the company scaled, improved efficiency, and saw significant interest income. By 2024, Monday.com achieved GAAP net income of $32.4 million, signifying a fundamental shift to profitability.
2025 Projection (Net Income):
For 2025, net income is expected to increase modestly as Monday.com balances growth investments with profitability. Analysts project net income of $40–$50 million. Revenue growth (~25%) and interest income on large cash reserves should bolster net income, though higher expenses (headcount, AI development) will moderate margin expansion. Overall, Monday.com’s trajectory indicates sustained profitability and likely incremental improvements in GAAP EPS.
Free Cash Flow (FCF)
Definition:
Free Cash Flow (FCF) is the cash generated after capital expenditures. It highlights Monday.com’s efficiency in generating cash even when GAAP profitability was lagging.
Table 4. Free Cash Flow (2019–2024) and YoY Growth
| Year | Free Cash Flow (USD million) | YoY Growth |
| 2019 | –38.0 | N/A |
| 2020 | –40.7 | –7.1% |
| 2021 | 9.9 | N/M |
| 2022 | 11.1 | +12.7% |
| 2023 | 204.9 | +1740% |
| 2024 | 295.8 | +44.3% |
Trend and 2024 Analysis:
FCF turned positive in 2021 ($9.9M) and remained modest until 2022. The huge jump to $204.9M in 2023 reflects the company’s near break-even net income plus strong billings. In 2024, FCF reached $295.8M, indicating a ~30% margin. This high cash flow underscores Monday.com’s SaaS business model with upfront billing and high gross margins.
2025 Projection (FCF):
Monday.com projects $300–$308 million in FCF for 2025, ~25% margin on $1.21 billion revenue. While absolute FCF may rise slightly, a lower margin indicates increased investments. Even so, a 25% FCF margin is top-tier among SaaS peers, reflecting strong fundamentals and prudent financial management.
6.4 Key Ratio Analysis
In this section, we look at Monday.com’s ratios from 2019 through 2024, compare them with peers, and discuss trends.
6.4.1 Efficiency Ratios
Table 5.4.2 – Efficiency Metrics
| Year | Asset Turnover (Revenue/Avg Assets) | Estimated LTV/CAC Ratio |
| 2020 | ~1.0x | < 1x (est.) |
| 2021 | ~0.5x | ~1.5x (est.) |
| 2022 | ~0.5x | ~2.0x (est.) |
| 2023 | ~0.6x | > 3x (est.) |
| 2024 | ~0.66x | > 3x (est.) |
Key Takeaways:
- Asset Turnover dipped post-IPO as total assets (cash) surged, then improved as revenue grew. By 2024 it was ~0.66x.
- LTV/CAC rose significantly as marketing efficiency improved and net dollar retention stayed high; LTV/CAC > 3x in 2023–2024 signals strong unit economics.
6.4.2 Valuation Multiples
Table 5.4.3 – Market Valuation Multiples (at year-end)
| Year | Price-to-Sales (P/S) | EV/EBITDA |
| 2020 | N/A (not public) | N/M (neg. EBITDA) |
| 2021 | ~45x | N/M (neg. EBITDA) |
| 2022 | ~11.2x | N/M (neg. EBITDA) |
| 2023 | ~12.6x | ~118x (very high) |
| 2024 | ~12.7x | ~76x (high) |
Key Takeaways:
- P/S soared in 2021 due to tech market exuberance, corrected sharply in 2022, then recovered slightly by 2023–24 (~12–13x).
- EV/EBITDA is extremely high because EBITDA was negative or minimal until recently. As profitability scales, this multiple should normalize.
6.4.3 Extended Ratio Discussion (Liquidity, Leverage, Profitability, Valuation)
Below is a more detailed ratio-based discussion repeating some data but providing thorough context:
- Liquidity: Current Ratio
- Monday.com’s current ratio hovered from ~1.0 (2020) to 4.0 (2021 post-IPO) and remains ~2.7–3.0 in 2023–24. This far exceeds 1.0, showing ample short-term liquidity.
- Leverage: Debt-to-Equity Ratio
- Monday.com has effectively zero long-term debt since 2021. Thus D/E ~0%. This is more conservative than peers like Asana (also near zero debt) and keeps financial risk low.
- Profitability: Operating Margin & ROE
- Operating margins improved from –116% (2019) to near 0% (2023) and finally ~2–5% in 2024. ROE similarly turned from negative to ~3–4% in 2024, indicating the transition to positive returns on equity.
- Valuation: P/E, P/S, P/B
- P/E for 2024 is extremely high (possibly 100+), reflecting small positive earnings so far. P/S ~12–15x indicates a premium but no longer the 2021 bubble levels. P/B also elevated (~12x in 2024), largely because Monday.com’s intangible value (growth potential) far exceeds balance sheet equity.
Overall, Monday.com’s ratios show a high-growth tech firm that quickly moved toward profitability, enjoying a premium valuation, strong liquidity, and zero leverage.
6.5 Overall Financial Health and Performance Assessment (2019–2024)
Synthesizing all the above ratios, Monday.com’s financial health has transformed over the 2019–2024 period from that of a cash-burning startup to a more balanced, profitable enterprise. Liquidity is ample, leverage is minimal, profitability metrics have improved dramatically (from –100%+ operating margins to positive territory), and valuations—while still high—are more grounded in real performance than in pure hype. The company’s strong free cash flow generation, combined with stable or rising gross margins, underscores a scalable SaaS model well-positioned for continued growth and resilience in changing market conditions.
7. Macroeconomic and Industry Trends
7.1 Global Economic Environment and Interest Rates
The period 2020–2024 was marked by major macroeconomic swings that formed the backdrop for Monday.com’s performance. In 2020, the global economy experienced a sharp pandemic-induced contraction, followed by a strong rebound in 2021. Near-zero interest rates in 2020–2021 fueled investment in tech. By 2022, inflation spiked, leading central banks (especially the US Federal Reserve) to rapidly raise rates. Higher rates reduced investor appetite for unprofitable growth stocks, contributing to a broad tech valuation correction in 2022. Monday.com’s strong business fundamentals helped it weather this period, and as inflation moderated in 2023–2024, investor sentiment toward SaaS improved again. Even though interest rates remained higher than pre-2022 levels, Monday.com continued to benefit from ongoing digital transformation trends, remote/hybrid work, and robust demand for work management solutions.
7.2 Tech Sector and SaaS Industry Trends
Between 2020 and 2024, the SaaS industry went from an era of unprecedented growth (during pandemic-driven digital adoption) to a market correction in 2022, and then a focus on profitable growth in 2023–2024. Despite volatility, overall SaaS demand remained high. Companies sought cloud-based collaboration, remote work solutions, and automation. The “work management” niche in particular saw strong entrants (Monday.com, Asana, Smartsheet, ClickUp). Many SaaS IPOs in 2021 enjoyed lofty valuations initially, only to see sharp multiple compression in 2022. By 2023–2024, investors favored SaaS providers showing both growth and positive cash flow—a trend that benefited Monday.com.
7.3 AI and Automation Investment Sentiment
AI became a hot theme in tech by 2023, accelerating investment and hype around generative models. Monday.com integrated AI into its platform in 2023 (AI Assistant, third-party AI apps), aligning with broader enterprise automation trends. The ability to automate workflows, analyze data, and provide predictive insights is now seen as a significant differentiator in SaaS. Investors rewarded companies with credible AI strategies; Monday.com’s emphasis on practical, embedded AI features likely contributed to its strong NDR and upsell to enterprise clients.
7.4 Investor Sentiment and Valuation Benchmarks
Investor sentiment swung from exuberance (2020–21) to caution (2022) and then selective optimism (2023–24). The key shift was from “growth at all costs” to “profitable growth.” Monday.com’s ability to increase free cash flow and approach GAAP profitability by 2023–24 placed it among the more favored SaaS names. Valuation benchmarks like price-to-sales multiples dropped dramatically in 2022, but Monday.com maintained a premium multiple compared to many peers, owing to its high growth, strong retention, and balanced approach to margins. By 2024, it was trading around ~12–15x sales—still above average for SaaS but supported by robust growth and an improving profit profile.
7.5 Regulatory and Compliance Landscape
The SaaS sector faced a tightening compliance environment regarding data privacy (GDPR in Europe, CCPA/CPRA in California), cybersecurity (heightened breach disclosure rules), and emerging AI regulations (EU AI Act discussions). Monday.com, serving enterprise clients globally, adopted strong security frameworks (SOC 2, ISO certifications) and provided data residency options to comply with local regulations. These measures are increasingly a prerequisite for winning enterprise deals. With AI, new governance concerns (algorithmic transparency, ethical use) are emerging; Monday.com’s approach to embedding AI responsibly will be key as laws evolve. Overall, the regulatory environment demands rigorous data protection, something Monday.com has continued investing in to maintain trust and competitiveness.

In the revised conclusion, two precise valuation estimates are provided—a bullish scenario and an aggressive (“激进”) scenario.
8. Stock Valuation
8.1 Financial Performance Overview
Revenue Growth:
Monday.com has grown explosively from a few million in revenue to nearly $1 billion in annual sales by 2024. In 2019, revenue was around $78–80 million; by 2020 it reached $161.1 million (+106% YoY), then $308.2 million in 2021 (+91%), $519.0 million in 2022 (+68%), and $729.7 million in 2023 (+40.6%). Trailing-twelve-month revenue for 2024 is approximately $972 million (+33% YoY), and the company’s 2025 guidance forecasts $1.21–$1.22 billion in revenue (≈24–26% growth). Despite a deceleration in growth as scale increases, Monday.com continues to expand faster than the broader software industry. High net dollar retention rates (~110–120%) and successful upselling in its SaaS subscription model have been key drivers of this revenue expansion.
Profitability and Margins:
Although GAAP profitability was achieved only recently, Monday.com has a classic high-growth SaaS profile with very high gross margins (~88–89%). GAAP operating losses persisted for several years—primarily due to heavy reinvestment in R&D, sales, and significant stock-based compensation—but non-GAAP operating income turned positive in 2023 (8% margin) and reached 14% in 2024. For 2024, GAAP net income was $32.4 million (its first full-year profit), helped by interest income on over $1.4 billion of cash. Analysts expect 2025 GAAP EPS of approximately $0.78 (roughly $40 million net income). Importantly, free cash flow is very strong; 2024 FCF was $295.8 million (about 30% of revenue), far exceeding GAAP earnings. The balance sheet is debt-free and cash-rich—with an enterprise value of approximately $13.5 billion versus a market cap of $15.3 billion (indicating roughly $1.8 billion in net cash) and a current ratio of ~2.6—demonstrating excellent liquidity and low financial risk.
Key Takeaway:
Monday.com exhibits rapid revenue growth with improving operating leverage, high gross margins, and significant free cash flow generation, yet it trades at a rich valuation relative to its modest current earnings.
8.2 Valuation Methodology Selection
Given Monday.com’s financial profile—with high growth, robust revenue expansion, and very thin current earnings—traditional earnings-based multiples like P/E or EV/EBITDA are less meaningful. Instead, we focus on revenue-based multiples and intrinsic cash-flow modeling. In this evaluation, we use three methods:
- Enterprise Value-to-Sales (EV/Sales) Multiple:
– This method calculates the total firm value relative to revenue. It is especially applicable for high-growth SaaS companies with limited profitability and accounts for the net cash position. - Price-to-Sales (P/S) Ratio:
– This simpler metric compares the stock’s market capitalization to its revenue. With Monday.com’s debt-free, cash-rich balance sheet, P/S closely aligns with EV/S. - Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) Analysis:
– By forecasting future free cash flows and discounting them at an appropriate rate, the DCF model provides an intrinsic valuation based on the company’s long-term cash generation potential.
These methods, when applied step by step, yield a comprehensive valuation assessment.
8.3 EV/Sales Multiple Valuation
Method & Calculation:
Using Monday.com’s 2025 projected revenue of approximately $1.215 billion, we apply a forward EV/Sales multiple. Based on comparable peers—where Asana and Smartsheet trade at around 5–6× forward revenue and larger names like Atlassian trade in the mid-teens—we conservatively choose a multiple of 13×.
- Enterprise Value (EV):
EV = 13 × $1.215B = $15.80 billion. - Equity Value:
Adding the net cash of approximately $1.8 billion (since the company is debt-free),
Equity Value = $15.80B + $1.8B = $17.6 billion. - Share Price:
With about 49.86 million shares outstanding,
Share Price ≈ $17.6B / 49.86M ≈ $353 per share.
Using alternative multiples:
• A 15× EV/S multiple would yield an equity value closer to $400 per share.
• A lower multiple of 10×–12× would yield a value in the $270–$320 range.
Our baseline EV/S analysis thus implies a stock price in the mid-$300s.
8.4 Price-to-Sales (P/S) Valuation
Method & Calculation:
The P/S ratio method calculates revenue per share and multiplies it by an appropriate multiple. With 2025 projected revenue per share estimated as follows:
- Revenue per share = $1.215B / 49.86M ≈ $24.35.
Assuming a P/S multiple of 14× (reflecting high-growth SaaS premiums):
- Implied Price:
Price per share = 14 × $24.35 ≈ $341 per share.
If a more aggressive P/S of 15× is assumed, the implied price would be about $365; a more conservative multiple of 12× yields roughly $292. The P/S approach suggests a fair value roughly in the $300–$370 range, which aligns with the EV/S result.
8.5 Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) Analysis
Method & Assumptions:
The DCF model forecasts Monday.com’s free cash flows over the next 5–10 years and discounts them at a WACC of 10%. Using 2024 as the base year (with FCF of about $296 million, or 30% of $972 million revenue) and the 2025 revenue guidance of $1.215 billion (+25% YoY), we project FCF growing as follows (with FCF margins gradually declining from 30% to 25% over time):
- For 2025, FCF is projected around $350 million.
- By 2029, FCF could reach approximately $540–$590 million.
- A terminal growth rate of 3% is assumed beyond the forecast period.
Discounting the annual FCFs and the terminal value back at 10% yields an estimated enterprise value on the order of $7–$9 billion. After adding net cash and dividing by shares outstanding, the DCF analysis yields an intrinsic equity value of roughly $240–$260 per share under a moderate scenario.
Key Insight:
The DCF is very sensitive to assumptions. If one assumes an extended high-growth period or uses a lower discount rate (e.g., 9%), the DCF value could approach $300 per share. Conversely, more conservative growth assumptions would lower the DCF value.
8.6 Analyst Price Targets & Opinions

The consensus target is approximately $352, with several top-tier firms targeting the $350–$400 range.
8.7 Conclusion
In our valuation of Monday.com, we focused primarily on revenue‐based multiples—namely P/S and EV/Sales—because the company’s limited GAAP profits and high growth make earnings‐based metrics less relevant. Both the P/S and EV/Sales approaches converged on a fair value of approximately $350 per share. While we also conducted a DCF analysis, its lower valuation is less applicable given Monday.com’s stage of growth and ongoing reinvestments; we therefore consider the DCF result a reference point rather than a definitive target.
Summary of the Evaluation Process:
- Company Profile: Monday.com is a high‐growth SaaS business with rapid revenue expansion, strong net dollar retention, and high gross margins, but minimal current earnings.
- Valuation Rationale: Traditional P/E or EV/EBITDA are less meaningful for companies with limited GAAP profits. We instead used P/S and EV/Sales—standard measures for high‐growth, subscription‐based tech firms—to determine a fair market value.
- Multiples Analysis: By comparing Monday.com’s revenue multiples to those of similar SaaS peers, we arrived at an implied share price in the mid‐$300s.
- DCF Analysis (Reference Only): A discounted cash flow model, which projects future free cash flows and discounts them at a standard rate, suggested a lower figure. However, due to Monday.com’s current reinvestment strategy and the sensitivity of long‐term forecasts, we regard the DCF estimate as secondary to the multiples‐based results.
Based on this comprehensive approach, we conclude that $350 per share represents a reasonable target price for Monday.com under present market conditions.
