i3 Verticals A

i3 Verticals missed the quarter ended Sept. 30 and lowered its outlook for 2026; for 2027 the company now expects mid-single-digit revenue growth instead of the previously forecast high-single-digit growth. Management highlights that AI reduces development costs and increases productivity, while the business model emphasizes more transaction-based revenue and payments (around 25% of sales). Despite near-term revenue pressure, margins are expected to improve; the company anticipates above-average margin expansion in 2027 and views share buybacks (almost 23% of shares repurchased since highs) as an important capital lever. Operationally the focus remains on public sectors such as courts, utilities and education, with some large projects delayed and their effects expected to be felt more strongly in 2027. » Więcej na de.investing.com

Annualized recurring revenue rose 12% to $183.5 million; SaaS revenue grew 37% year over year to $12.7 million. Despite improved adjusted EBITDA and a continued shift toward higher‑margin recurring revenue, the stock fell about 6% as investors voiced concerns about organic growth and the sizable gap between GAAP and non‑GAAP metrics. » Więcej na de.investing.com
