UBS analyst Joshua Chan upgraded Upwork Inc. (NASDAQ: UPWK) from Neutral to Buy with a price target of $21.00.

The analyst comments: "We are upgrading Upwork to Buy with a $21 price target. With better web traffic data in recent months and an ongoing shift toward higher-value services, Upwork appears positioned to return to positive GSV growth over the next two quarters (vs. Street's Q1 inflection). We believe this inflection – after five quarters of declines – could be a positive catalyst for shares, adding conviction around our above-consensus 2026E EBITDA (+3% vs. Street). Additionally, we think Upwork's improved FCF (~9% yield) is under-appreciated, as buybacks are reducing share count for the first time in public company history, bolstering the company's high-teens ROIC profile in the process."
