What Management Said

Here are the key debates and direct quotes from Wix.com's Q3 2025 earnings call:

Sustainability of Hypergrowth and Profitability Path for Base 44

Sentiment: Positive

"If in Wix.com Ltd., the vast majority are annual subscriptions, then on Base 44, most of our users are still on their monthly subscription. When it comes to churn, it's very early to say, it’s changing very quickly... but we know there’s so much more we can do. So we’re very optimistic." — Avishai Abrahami
"With regard to the AI cost, new users consume more AI tokens. So the more customers maintain their applications, the better their margin profile. But right now, most of the customers are new... I believe the margins will continue to improve as we already started to see that from Q3 to Q4." — Lior Shemesh

Cost Management and AI Compute Expenses for Base 44

Sentiment: Mixed

"There is so much we can do from training our own models to reducing costs through partnerships with vendors, and cost is always declining... Long term, we can dramatically improve the cost of AI for Base 44." — Avishai Abrahami
"AI costs tend to be front-end heavy as new users consume more tokens during their initial build phase... But as recurring revenue builds next year, profit will be totally different." — Lior Shemesh

Transition from Monthly to Annual Subscriptions in Base 44

Sentiment: Positive

"It takes time for people to trust the platform. And then they will actually feel more comfortable to pay an annual subscription. Vibe Coding is still so new... but we are heading toward that direction." — Avishai Abrahami
"We are working on a few different things in tandem to improve the dynamics... as we garner more brand visibility and brand recognition, it will be easier for people to transition to the annual plans." — Nir Zohar

Delays in Launching New Self Creator Tool

Sentiment: Mixed

"Most of the reason for the delay is about just fine-tuning technology... A lot of AI stuff that never existed before. So it was harder to estimate some of the effort that will go into finalizing them." — Avishai Abrahami
"It’s kind of entering already the first stage of a closed beta within here inside of Wix.com Ltd. So I feel very confident we’re gonna see it very early in 2026." — Avishai Abrahami

Long-term Vision for AI-Optimized Websites in the Changing Web Discovery Landscape

Sentiment: Positive

"Every Wix.com Ltd. website is now indexable by LLMs. So we make the data available to any LLM... enabling all the functionality to be available within LLMs or discovered by LLMs." — Avishai Abrahami
"There’s a lot of things that are changing now... If you try to build a website in the old way, you’re going to find that you’re not supporting all these new standards that are coming every few months." — Avishai Abrahami

Bull Case

Base 44 and AI investments unlock a massive TAM and long-term profitability growth opportunities, positioning Wix.com Ltd. as a leader in app creation and AI-optimized web solutions.

Bear Case

The significant upfront costs and delayed margin improvement tied to Base 44 and AI spending could weigh on near-term profitability and test market patience.

Looking Ahead

With revenue growing +13.6% year-over-year, the key question is whether Wix.com can sustain this growth trajectory, particularly around sustainability of Hypergrowth and Profitability Path for Base 44. With operating margins at -1.5%, margin trends will remain a focal point. The market's negative earnings-day reaction signals that investors need to see stronger execution, and the next earnings report will be a key catalyst for the stock.
