Description: SPT Sprout Social January 18, 2026
Sprout Social (NASDAQ: SPT) delivers a cloud-based social-media management suite that consolidates publishing, scheduling, social-customer care, analytics, listening, reputation, commerce, influencer, and employee-advocacy tools into a single “system of record.” The platform spans the Americas, EMEA, and APAC and is sold to a broad user base-from SMBs and agencies to mid-market enterprises, governments and nonprofits-through a subscription model that includes professional services such as consulting and training.
Recent public filings (FY 2023) show annual recurring revenue of roughly $300 million, up ~27 % year-over-year, with net dollar-retention exceeding 115 %-indicating strong upsell and low churn in a market where SaaS spend on customer-engagement tools is projected to grow at a CAGR of ~12 % through 2027. A key sector driver is the accelerating shift of advertising budgets toward owned-media and community-driven commerce, which benefits platforms that combine social listening with commerce enablement. Competitive pressure remains high from larger CRM players (e.g., Salesforce) and niche specialists (e.g., Hootsuite), making product differentiation and AI-enhanced automation critical to sustain margin expansion.
