AI Analysis

As a Graham-style investor, I start with the numbers and ask whether the price offers margin of safety. Yext is an asset-light software business selling digital-presence tools, but the filed record does not show a wide moat. In fiscal Q2 2027, the quarter ended 2026-07-31, revenue was $111.1M and net income $13.1M, or diluted EPS $0.13. That compares with revenue of $113.1M and net income of $26.8M in fiscal Q2 2026, the quarter ended 2025-07-31. In fiscal Q1 2027, the quarter ended 2026-04-30, revenue was $107.9M and net income was $2.6M. So the top line is not growing and profit is erratic. Full-year progress is real: FY2026, ended 2026-01-31, had revenue of $446.6M, net income of $37.9M, and diluted EPS of $0.07, a turnaround from FY2025's net loss of $27.9M and FY2024's net loss of $2.6M. FairStock's Lynch category calls it a TURNAROUND — returned to profit after a loss within the last three years. Financial health is mixed. FairStock shows a trailing FCF of $53.0M and FCF yield of 7.6% at the $7.00 close on 2026-10-13. But FairStock also calculates ROE 27.76%, ROCE 1.79%, D/E 6.22, Altman Z-Score -0.72, and Piotroski 7/9. The low ROCE and negative Altman score suggest weak operating returns and balance-sheet risk. Valuation is not defensive. At that close, FairStock's P/E is 41.18, P/B is 5.38, EV/EBITDA is 11.11, and Graham Number is $1.17, leaving a margin of safety of -498.29%. I would need much stronger evidence of durable growth or a lower price before calling this a value opportunity.

In plain English: Yext sells cloud software that helps businesses manage the information and reviews customers see online. The business has returned to profit and produces cash, but revenue has recently slipped and earnings are uneven. At $7.00, the stock looks expensive compared with its reported profits and accounting value, though its cash flow gives some support.
