AvePoint (AVPT) is back on investors’ radar after unveiling new agentic AI governance tools and expanded multi-SaaS, IaaS, and PaaS backup coverage, aimed at tightening data protection as enterprises scale AI projects.
See our latest analysis for AvePoint.
The new agentic AI governance launch lands after a year where AvePoint’s share price return is down 20.05% year to date and 22.39% over 30 days, while its three year total shareholder return of 117.04% signals longer term momentum that contrasts with the 45.26% total shareholder return decline over the past year.
If this AI governance update has you thinking more broadly about where AI growth could show up next, it may be worth scanning 56 profitable AI stocks that aren’t just burning cash as a starting list of ideas.
With AvePoint trading at US$10.57 and reference estimates suggesting sizeable upside against some valuation markers, yet a 45.26% total shareholder return decline over the past year, is this a reset that creates a buying opportunity, or is future growth already priced in?

Most Popular Narrative: 43.7% Undervalued

The analysts have a consensus price target of $21.889 for AvePoint based on their expectations of its future earnings growth, profit margins and other risk factors. However, there is a degree of disagreement amongst analysts, with the most bullish reporting a price target of $26.0, and the most bearish reporting a price target of just $18.0.

Curious what kind of revenue growth, margin expansion and future earnings multiple need to line up for that gap to make sense? The full narrative lays out an aggressive earnings ramp, rich implied valuation, and a specific discount rate that ties today’s price to those future cash flows.
Result: Fair Value of $18.79 (UNDERVALUED)
Have a read of the narrative in full and understand what’s behind the forecasts.
However, this hinges on AvePoint growing beyond its heavy Microsoft reliance and avoiding prolonged pressure from a higher mix of lower margin services revenue.

Another Angle: Multiples Paint a Richer Picture
Here is the tension. While the narrative fair value points to AvePoint as undervalued, its current P/S of 5.8x sits well above the US Software industry at 3.8x, the peer average at 4.4x, and even our fair ratio of 4.6x. This suggests less room for error. How comfortable are you paying that kind of premium?
