Sprinklr Inc (CXM)

Q3 2026

Sprinklr's growth stalls, but AI demand and raised guidance offer hope

  • Weak billings and slowing revenue growth Sprinklr's billings grew only 5.3% over the last four quarters, and revenue growth is expected to stall after years of double-digit gains. This signals soft demand and competitive pressure, which weighs on the stock price.

    This is the core fundamental problem driving the negative view on CXM.

  • Disappointing EPS guidance Although Q1 revenue beat expectations, the company's EPS guidance for the next quarter missed significantly. This overshadowed the revenue beat and raised concerns about profitability, pushing the stock down.

    Guidance miss is a key negative catalyst for the stock.

  • AI-driven demand lifts enterprise software Enterprise software stocks, including Sprinklr, surged as AI is boosting software adoption. Strong results from Salesforce and others showed AI is a tailwind, not a threat. Sprinklr rose 7.2% in the sector rally.

    This shows a positive external force that can lift CXM's price.

  • Raised subscription revenue guidance Sprinklr raised its FY2027 subscription revenue forecast and beat Q2 EPS estimates, despite a slight revenue miss. The company also highlighted a $20 million deal and growing remaining performance obligations, signaling future revenue visibility.

    This is the latest positive update that could support the stock.

LivePerson Inc (LPSN)

SoundHound merger advances as vote nears, reshaping LivePerson's future

  • SoundHound merger vote scheduled SoundHound AI set a shareholder vote on its amended merger agreement with LivePerson for August 20, 2026. A successful vote moves the deal toward closing, giving LPSN holders a clearer path to a payout or SoundHound stock, which supports the share price.

    This is the key new event that directly determines LivePerson's ownership and value.

  • SoundHound's strong Q2 and raised outlook SoundHound reported record Q2 revenue of $61.9 million, up 45%, and raised its 2026 revenue floor to $230 million. Its guidance excludes any LivePerson contribution, so the deal is pure upside. A healthier acquirer makes the pending merger more likely to close and more valuable to LPSN holders.

    The acquirer's financial strength directly affects the deal's certainty and value for LPSN.

  • Deal expected to close by end of 2026 Multiple reports confirm SoundHound still expects to close the LivePerson acquisition before the end of 2026, with 2027 revenue guidance of $350–$400 million including LPSN. This timeline gives investors a concrete horizon, reducing uncertainty and supporting LPSN's price.

    A firm closing timeline is new information that reduces deal risk for LPSN.

  • SoundHound seen as acquisition target itself Analysts named SoundHound a takeover candidate, with General Motors considered a clean fit. If SoundHound is acquired, its pending deal for LivePerson would likely still close or be assumed by the buyer, adding another layer of potential value for LPSN shareholders.

    This new speculation adds a second possible path to value for LPSN beyond the current merger.
