Yext (YEXT) stock: Winston Score and insider trades

§Winston Score History

Yext is a software company that helps businesses manage how their information appears across the internet. When a restaurant changes its hours or a bank opens a new branch, Yext pushes that updated information — addresses, phone numbers, hours — to hundreds of websites, maps, and search engines at once. It serves businesses of all sizes, from local shops to large enterprises like hotels, retailers, and healthcare providers.

Yext charges customers a recurring subscription fee to use its platform, which gives it predictable revenue. The company operates primarily in the United States but also has customers in Europe and other markets, and its gross margin near 74% reflects the efficiency of a software business. Its main competitive advantage is its direct data partnerships with platforms like Google, Apple Maps, and Yelp, which competitors cannot easily replicate. The key risk is that large platforms could reduce their reliance on third-party data managers like Yext, shrinking its relevance over time.
