AnteData flags a sharp deterioration in developer engagement around WIX in 2025, with a TrendRank of just 0.02 - near the bottom of their software universe. GitHub pushes and Stack Overflow discussions are especially weak, signalling that fewer developers are building WIX-related code repositories and that community interest is fading. In contrast, website-building tools Vercel and Webflow show rising coding activity, which indicates a shift in website architecture. WIX holds only ~5% of a market dominated by WordPress (~40%) and Shopify, and AI tools plus social platforms are eroding demand for traditional no-code site builders. The stock has fallen 50% YTD, bringing its Price/Sales ratio down to a moderate 3x. However, the Street still expects DD sales growth. And the stock is not yet priced like low-growth comparables such as GoDaddy or Dropbox, suggesting further downside potential.
