Sprinklr Inc (CXM)

Q3 2026
▲2▼2

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.

SPS Commerce Inc (SPSC)

Q3 2026

SPS Commerce: sale talks and activist pressure drive the story

  • Sale process advances with GTCR talks A report says private equity firm GTCR is in talks to buy SPS Commerce, sending shares up 11%. A buyout would likely pay a premium, so the stock rises on that hope. But talks could fail or another buyer could appear, so the gain is not guaranteed.

    This is the newest and biggest potential catalyst for the stock.

  • Q2 results beat guidance, but net income fell on divestiture SPS Commerce beat its own revenue and profit guidance for the second quarter, and raised its full-year outlook. That is a sign the core business is healthy. However, net income dropped because of a loss on selling a business unit, which is a one-time accounting hit.

    Shows the underlying business is performing well, supporting the stock.

  • New competitor Orderful raises $35 million to disrupt EDI Orderful, a startup, raised $35 million to expand its AI-powered platform that it says makes traditional EDI services obsolete. SPS Commerce earns most of its revenue from EDI, so a cheaper, faster rival could take customers and pressure future growth. This is a long-term threat, not an immediate hit.

    Highlights a real competitive risk to SPS's core business model.

  • Stock rebounds after earnings but analysts see overvaluation After the Q2 report, the stock jumped 11.5% in one day and 20% over a week, yet it remains down for the year. Analysts' average fair value is $68.09, about 8% below the recent price of $73.39, suggesting the rebound may have overshot. This creates a tug-of-war between momentum and valuation.

    Shows the market's reaction and a caution that the stock may be ahead of itself.
