Barclays now sees two Fed cuts this year, says jumbo Fed cuts ’very unlikely’
In November 2024, InvestingPro’s Fair Value models identified Alkami Technology (NASDAQ:ALKT) as significantly overvalued, providing investors with a crucial early warning signal. This analysis demonstrates how sophisticated valuation models can help investors avoid potential losses and make more informed decisions. For investors seeking similar opportunities, InvestingPro’s Most overvalued list continues to identify stocks trading above their intrinsic value.
Alkami Technology, a provider of cloud-based digital banking solutions, showed concerning valuation metrics despite its strong market position. When InvestingPro’s models flagged the stock, it was trading at $40.69, with revenue of $315.56 million and negative EBITDA of $43.62 million. The company’s high valuation multiples and path to profitability raised red flags, despite its expanding market presence.
The subsequent market performance has validated InvestingPro’s analysis. Since the November 2024 warning, ALKT’s stock has declined by 41%, currently trading at $26.27. This movement aligns closely with InvestingPro’s projected downside of 34.73%, demonstrating the model’s accuracy in identifying overvalued securities.
Recent developments have supported the original thesis. The company reported a disappointing Q4 2024 earnings miss, while multiple insider sales and a $300 million convertible notes offering have added to investor concerns. Though revenue has grown to $333.85 million, EBITDA remains negative at $39.32 million, suggesting ongoing profitability challenges.
