BofA sees LegalZoom\u2019s strategic shift toward subscriptions and AI partnerships as key drivers of long-term value<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

LegalZoom (LZ) shares jumped 31% in premarket trading after Bank of America upgraded the company\u2019s stock rating from Underperform<\/em> to Buy<\/em>, citing improving fundamentals and a promising new direction driven by artificial intelligence (AI).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to BofA, LegalZoom has made significant progress in transforming its business model from transactional services to subscription-based offerings. This shift is yielding double-digit revenue growth, boosted by strong customer retention, service bundling, and the introduction of higher-value options that enhance revenue per user.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another major factor in the upgrade is LegalZoom\u2019s recent collaboration with AI leaders such as Perplexity and OpenAI. These partnerships are designed to bridge the gap between AI-generated legal queries and actual, legally binding services\u2014potentially expanding LegalZoom\u2019s user base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rather than being disrupted by AI, LegalZoom is now being viewed as well-positioned to thrive in an AI-driven environment. BofA noted that while AI was once considered a competitive threat, it may now act as a market-expanding catalyst by driving more consumers toward trusted, human-reviewed legal solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reflecting this optimism, Bank of America raised its price target for LegalZoom stock from $8 to $12. While the firm acknowledges that LegalZoom trades at a discount to its peers due to slower top-line growth, it believes the company’s stronger profit margins and free cash flow potential justify the valuation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall, the brokerage sees LegalZoom\u2019s blend of AI integration and a robust subscription model as a winning formula in the evolving legal tech landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
