S&P 500 falls on pressure from retail stocks, weak jobless claims
In September 2024, InvestingPro’s Fair Value models identified Anterix Inc. (NASDAQ:ATEX) as significantly overvalued, demonstrating the power of sophisticated valuation analysis in protecting investors from downside risk. The subsequent 41% decline in ATEX’s share price validates the accuracy of InvestingPro’s valuation methodology, which combines multiple analytical approaches to identify mispriced securities.

Anterix, a technology company specializing in private broadband networks for utilities and critical infrastructure enterprises, was trading at $38.65 when InvestingPro’s models flagged concerning valuation metrics. At the time, the company reported annual revenue of $5.1 million with an EBITDA of -$53.1 million, suggesting fundamental challenges beneath the elevated share price.
The Fair Value analysis proved prescient as ATEX shares steadily declined over the following months, reaching $22.84 by July 2025. This represents a 41% decrease, closely aligning with InvestingPro’s estimated downside potential of 34.6%. The stock’s journey included multiple instances of hitting 52-week lows, accompanied by significant insider selling and organizational changes.
Recent developments have continued to support the original bearish thesis. While the company’s latest financials show slight improvement with revenue increasing to $6.03 million and EBITDA improving to -$48.49 million, these metrics still indicate substantial valuation concerns. The appointment of a new CEO and strategic review announcement have yet to reverse the stock’s downward trajectory.
InvestingPro’s Fair Value methodology proved particularly valuable in this case by incorporating multiple valuation approaches, including discounted cash flow analysis, peer comparisons, and market-based metrics. This comprehensive approach helped identify the significant gap between Anterix’s market price and its intrinsic value, providing investors with crucial insights for their decision-making process.
The success of this bearish call exemplifies the importance of thorough valuation analysis in investment decisions.
