Deep Analysis

A gross margin of 72.9% means Yext keeps that share of each revenue dollar after covering the direct costs of delivering its software, leaving roughly 27 cents for operating expenses and profit.

That margin sits above the technology sector median of 65.5%, placing Yext in the 65th percentile among its peers, so the company is more efficient than most in its industry. The trend is N/A: both year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter changes are reported as N/A, so there is no historical data to confirm whether this margin is improving or weakening. With a strong level but no trend direction, the investment picture is mixed — the margin alone suggests a cost advantage, yet the lack of change data leaves uncertainty about sustainability. This metric supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict: it neither strengthens the case for a bullish outlook nor reveals a clear deterioration, keeping the stock in a balanced risk position.
