In other recent news, Verint Systems reported its fourth-quarter 2025 earnings, revealing a notable miss on both earnings per share (EPS) and revenue forecasts. The company posted an EPS of $0.99 and revenue of $254 million, falling short of the anticipated $1.27 EPS and $277 million revenue. This shortfall was attributed to delays in contract finalizations with existing customers, particularly a large unbundled deal accounting for about $18 million of the revenue miss.

These adjustments reflect a recalibration based on the company’s current financial trajectory and market conditions, with a focus on Verint’s potential in AI-driven solutions. The analysts emphasized the importance of Verint’s ARR as a key metric, considering it a more reliable indicator of the company’s underlying growth. Despite the earnings miss, Verint’s focus on AI-powered customer experience solutions remains strong, with over 90 Fortune 500 companies utilizing its AI-powered bots.
