Bear CaseDownside scenario
$9.0020%

Large AI customers reduce or pause their data collection workloads as model training cycles mature or shift to synthetic data. Intense competition from larger players like Bright Data and Oxylabs pressures pricing, while high infrastructure and third-party routing costs compress gross margins below 55%, limiting profitability and cash generation.

Base CaseCentral scenario
$14.0050%

Alarum continues to scale its enterprise customer base, achieving its Q2 2026 revenue guidance of $12.2 million (±5%) and maintaining a steady growth trajectory of 35-40% YoY. Gross margins stabilize in the low-60% range as infrastructure investments continue. The company remains consistently profitable on an IFRS basis with steady Adjusted EBITDA expansion.

Bull CaseUpside scenario
$16.0030%

AI model training and real-time data pipeline demand accelerates faster than expected. NetNut successfully launches its agentic workflow capabilities in H2 2026, driving higher-margin software-like recurring revenue. Gross margins expand back toward historical levels (>65%) due to superior infrastructure utilization and scale, leading to significant EPS beats.

Scenarios are anchored to street consensus at the research date, with our probabilities and rationale.
