Transaction growth momentum will "hinge" on Yelp adding new partner and categories along with better consumer awareness of the Platform functionality. However, transactional revenue to Yelp from Platform will likely remain "small" in the near-term.
Shares remain Outperform rated with an unchanged $62 price target.
