Analysis

Middle-of-the-road

LivePerson, Inc. is a middle-of-the-road business: neither the economics nor the price stand out from the peer group.

Valuation data is not available for this company.

The trajectory is tepid and the balance sheet is fragile. The company scores 6/20 on our value-creation score: not creating value.

What to watch: A large part of the company's book value is the price paid for past acquisitions. As always: this describes the company's numbers; it is not a recommendation.
