Daily closes. Earnings/event dots are placed inline.
Industries move in repeating boom-and-bust cycles. This shows where this stock’s industry sits in that cycle, stage by stage (recovery → expansion → supercycle → steady → deceleration → contraction), from its fundamentals (orders, revenue, capital spending), not the stock’s price.
A booming industry is a tailwind for the names in it; a contracting one is a headwind. Companies in the same industry tend to rise and fall together with the cycle, the way a tide lifts and lowers every boat in the harbor at once, so a large part of a stock’s swing can come from where its industry sits rather than from the company itself. It’s context for reading the company’s results, not a buy/sell call. Full explanation →
Application Software is in steady. Describes the industry's cycle state, not a call on this stock.
The stage band shows the industry’s cycle over the chart’s timeline (each color a stage); a ▼ marks a quarter its growth inflected down — amber is an unconfirmed watch, red is confirmed the next quarter. Use “Overlay cycle on chart” to tint the price chart by stage. The industry’s fundamentals, not a signal on this stock.
Primary pillar under pressure — EPS improves to at least $0.96 per share in 2026: Diluted EPS: $0.08 per share.
View ThesisRevenue growth is slowing — up about 8% over the past year and decelerating.
View GrowthManagement screens weak on capital allocation, earnings delivery, the balance sheet, market reaction to earnings.
View ManagementExpectations look high — the market is pricing in about 67% growth a year, above the roughly 11% analysts expect, leaving little room for error.
View ValuationThis stock is volatile — it swings about 3% on a typical day and fell roughly 65% in its worst 12-month stretch.
View RiskAudioEye’s claim rests on reaching its 2026 adjusted EBITDA objective through AI efficiencies and new products. Revenue growth slowed from 9% to 7% year over year, despite a Q3 earnings beat. AEYE trades at 30× P/E versus a 31× peer median, above its own historical 21× multiple. The market is pricing in more growth than our forecast, leaving expectations full. The specific pressure is diluted EPS of $0.08 against the 2026 pillar’s $0.96 threshold; our model puts the next-quarter miss probability near 38%. Peer multiples imply a price about 43% below where it trades; the thesis is on watch, and this read is provisional.

A consensus fair price across 9 valuation methods, at three horizons. As of 2026-10-29. Estimates are diagnostics, not price targets. Short-horizon estimates are close to coin-flips, so confidence is a method-agreement read, not a prediction.
Today's peer multiple on trailing earnings, with no growth credited. This is the headline read.
Adds projected growth, so it leans optimistic by design. Read it as upside context, not a base case.
A price-focused, side-by-side fair-value read versus Application Software — fair value, gap to price, and forward P/E.
Our valuation methods disagree too much on this name right now. Rather than print a number we don't believe, we're holding it back until they converge.
