InvestingPro’s bearish call on Arlo Technologies proves accurate with 40% decline

In July 2024, InvestingPro’s Fair Value analysis identified Arlo Technologies (NYSE:ARLO) as significantly overvalued, demonstrating the power of data-driven investment analysis. The subsequent market performance has validated this assessment, offering valuable insights into the effectiveness of comprehensive valuation models. For investors seeking similar opportunities, current overvalued stocks can be found on the Most overvalued list.

Arlo Technologies, a provider of smart connected security solutions, was trading at $16.45 when InvestingPro’s models flagged potential overvaluation. The company had shown mixed performance with revenue of $516.7 million and negative EBITDA of $20.5 million. Despite volatile trading patterns in early 2024, including several sharp rallies, the fundamental analysis suggested the stock price had exceeded sustainable levels.

The Fair Value model’s bearish thesis has proven remarkably accurate. Since the July 2024 signal, ARLO shares have declined approximately 40%, currently trading around $9.92. This performance aligns closely with InvestingPro’s projected downside of -37.73%, demonstrating the model’s precision in identifying mispriced securities.

Recent developments have supported the original analysis. Multiple insider sales throughout late 2024 and early 2025, including significant transactions by the CEO and CFO, suggested internal views aligned with the Fair Value assessment. While the company has reported strong subscription gains and enhanced AI features with SmartThings, fundamental metrics have actually deteriorated, with EBITDA declining to -$29.19 million and EPS dropping to -$0.31.

InvestingPro’s Fair Value methodology combines multiple valuation approaches, including discounted cash flow analysis, peer comparisons, and market sentiment indicators. This comprehensive approach helps investors identify both overvalued and undervalued opportunities before the market adjusts. The model’s success with Arlo Technologies exemplifies its ability to cut through market noise and focus on fundamental value drivers.
