Quality

71

of 100 · stored research reading

Stored Quality research reads 71 of 100, an above-average reading in the covered universe. Some underlying measurements are stronger than others.

Quality research measures durability of the business itself from stored fundamentals: balance-sheet strength, profitability consistency and cash generation. It is a research reading, not a prediction of future returns.

How this is measured

Fundamental Momentum

Deteriorating

43

of 100 · stored research reading

Stored Fundamental Momentum research reads 43 of 100. Stored measurements classify recent reported fundamentals as deteriorating. This describes reported financial change already disclosed, with no forward-looking claim.

Fundamental Momentum research measures the direction of recently reported company fundamentals compared with the company's own history. It describes reported change, not future price movement.

How this is measured

Capital Returns

Weak

24

of 100 · stored research reading

Stored Capital Returns research reads 24 of 100, recorded as weak. No dividend is recorded for this company, so the reading rests on buybacks and dilution control. Share count has increased at about 6.3% a year in the stored window.

Capital Returns research measures how a company has actually returned cash to shareholders: dividend record, buyback effectiveness, dilution control and how those payments were funded.

What this company does

LegalZoom is a leading online platform for legal services, transforming how individuals and small businesses navigate the legal system. By combining intuitive technology with access to experienced attorneys—whether through our vast independent attorney network or our own law firm—we offer the tools and guidance people need to confidently manage everything from business formation and compliance to intellectual property protection and ongoing business management and legal support. Our ongoing business management services include virtual mail, legal forms, bookkeeping and estate planning services, among others. We operate across all 50 states and in over 3,000 counties in the U.S. With over two decades of experience and millions of customers served, LegalZoom helps individuals and small businesses navigate legal needs with confidence.

In February 2025, we acquired Formation Nation, Inc., or Formation Nation, a small business service company. Formation Nation provides services ranging from white-glove business formation and compliance offerings under its Nevada Corporate Headquarters (NCH) business to low-cost business formations under its flagship Inc Authority brand.

As of June 30, 2025. there were over 36 million U.S. small businesses in operation, and millions of new small businesses are formed in the U.S. every year. Many small businesses operate without forming a legal entity, unintentionally introducing financial risk to the owners’ personal assets. The businesses that recognize that risk upfront often struggle to address it. Once they understand the need to be protected, they often do not know what to do, where to turn or how much it will cost to get help. Further, even when formed properly, small businesses often fail to comply with ongoing compliance requirements, thereby reintroducing personal liability or facing significant financial and operational risk. Per the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Small Business Index (Q4 2025), 44% of small businesses say that compliance requirements make it harder to grow their business. Our solutions aim to simplify these complex legal and regulatory tasks, remove friction, and enable small business owners to focus on running and growing their businesses.

We aim to service a broad range of small business owners, from first-time formers to seasoned small business owners. We provide a mix of transaction and subscription offerings relevant for new and existing small businesses to solve their legal, compliance and business management needs. Our services range from technology-enabled do-it-yourself, or DIY, offerings to emerging full-service do-it-for-me, or DIFM, solutions led by concierge managers and attorneys.
