TheFly reported on January 13 that Goldman Sachs downgraded SMWB from Buy to Neutral and lowered its price target to $7.50 from $10.

(NYSE:SMWB)’s core growth metrics remain flat or declining, which raises concerns for 2026 projections.

Separately, on the same day, SWMB and Manus announced a partnership to integrate SWMB’s data into the Manus AI agent platform. This collaboration allows Manus customers to leverage AI agents for data-driven digital marketing, including creating marketing plans and analyzing competitive positions, using real web traffic and engagement metrics.
