Frequently asked questions

Is UPWK growing its revenue and profit?

Over the past 5 years, Upwork's revenue has grown 16.1% per year. These are computed facts, not advice.

How much debt does UPWK have?

As of FY2025, Upwork reported $360M of total debt against $294M of cash.

What is UPWK's profit margin?

In FY2025, gross margin was 77.8%, operating margin 16.4%, and net margin 14.7%.

What is UPWK's P/E ratio?

Upwork's P/E (TTM) is 13.38 as of the 2026-11-02 close — market cap ÷ net income over the trailing twelve months where four consecutive quarters are reported, otherwise the latest fiscal year, the same figure as on the UPWK stock page. The valuation chart above sets each month-end's price against the latest annual net income instead, so its latest point (about 12.1× as of Nov '26) can differ. These are computed facts, not advice.

Where does this data come from?

All figures are extracted from the company’s SEC EDGAR/XBRL filings — 10-K annual reports and 10-Q quarterly reports (use the Annual / Quarterly toggle). Quarterly figures are derived from the as-filed statements (year-to-date amounts are differenced into discrete quarters). Growth rates and ratios are computed by tradmap; nothing here is investment advice.
