Standing thesis

The standing, falsifiable read: what has to stay true, and what would break it.

Turnaround → Compounder

Warn: Primary pillar under pressure — EPS improves to at least $0.96 per share in 2026: FY26 EPS guidance $0.98 vs $0.96 target.

The bull case

AudioEye aims to grow revenue to about $43.75 million in 2026. Adjusted EBITDA is targeted at $12 million, showing improving profitability. EPS is expected to rise to at least $0.96 per share, reflecting better earnings. The company maintains positive cash flow to support growth.

The bear case

Revenue growth may slow or stall below $40 million. Profitability targets like $12 million adjusted EBITDA could be missed. EPS might fail to improve, staying below $0.72 per share. Cash flow could weaken, pressuring financial stability.

What's priced in

The market prices in about 12% revenue growth and values the stock roughly 11% below our fair value estimate. Our view aligns with consensus on growth but remains cautious on profitability execution.
