Cognyte Software, which provides investigative analytics software to governments and enterprises worldwide, has seen its stock price fluctuate significantly over the past year. The stock reached a one-year high of $11.66 and a one-year low of $6.21, indicating volatility in the market [2].
Analysts' consensus is currently neutral, with a "Hold" status from two brokerage firms and an estimated GF Value of $6.65 for the stock in one year [1]. This suggests a potential downside of 31.65% from the current price of $9.73.
Institutional investors have shown interest in Cognyte Software, with several hedge funds increasing their stakes in the company. Topline Capital Management LLC and Value Base Ltd. both purchased significant stakes in the fourth quarter, while Millennium Management LLC and Marshall Wace LLP increased their positions in the first and fourth quarters, respectively [2].
The company's latest earnings guidance for FY 2026 projects an EPS of $0.190, with revenue estimates ranging from $387.1 million to $402.9 million [3]. This guidance aligns with analysts' expectations, suggesting a stable outlook for the company's financial performance.
Mike Cikos, a 5-star analyst with a 12.1% average return and 54.58% success rate, has consistently advised investors to maintain their current positions in Cognyte Software without significant buying or selling actions [1]. Given the neutral consensus and stable earnings guidance, investors should closely monitor the company's performance and market conditions before making any investment decisions.
