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 — Adjusted EBITDA improves to about $56M in 2026: Comparison needs review.
View ThesisRevenue is contracting — down about 21% over the past year.
View GrowthMiddle-of-the-pack management execution.
View ManagementExpectations look reasonable — what the market is pricing in sits in line with or below what analysts forecast.
View ValuationThis stock is highly volatile — it swings about 4% on a typical day and fell roughly 86% in its worst 12-month stretch.
View RiskUPLD’s case rests on profitable growth, yet it lost revenue recently. Reported profits also lack strong cash backing. Revenue fell 8% year over year in Q2 FY2026; no latest release is recorded. The desk has no valuation multiples or priced-in expectations for UPLD. Our model puts the next-quarter miss probability at 36%. Adjusted EBITDA’s 2026 comparison needs review, so that pillar remains uncertain. This read is provisional; the thesis is on watch.
Trailing returns as of 2026-10-30. UPLD is total return (includes dividends); the S&P 500 benchmark is price return (the index excludes dividends).

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.
