Thesis Summary

AudioEye is a leading digital accessibility platform positioned to benefit from strong regulatory tailwinds, increasing digital accessibility litigation, and a highly scalable SaaS business model. The company has demonstrated a record streak of 41 consecutive quarters of record revenue, with ARR reaching $41.2 million as of Q1 2026. A recent leadership transition places Kelly Georgevich as CEO to drive operational execution, while former CEO David Moradi focuses on AI-driven product innovation as Executive Chairman. With refined full-year 2026 guidance pointing to significant operating leverage and adjusted EBITDA of at least $12 million, AudioEye represents a compelling growth opportunity in a highly specialized software niche.

Bear CaseDownside scenario

Elevated litigation expenses continue to weigh heavily on GAAP profitability, offsetting gross profit gains. Furthermore, partner realignments or increased competition from alternative accessibility widgets (e.g., accessiBe, UserWay) slow down ARR growth, limiting the company's ability to hit its full-year adjusted EBITDA and EPS targets.

Base CaseCentral scenario

AudioEye successfully executes on its compounding ARR model, driving full-year 2026 revenue to the midpoint of its guided range ($43.75 million) and achieving an adjusted EBITDA margin of approximately 27% (at least $12 million). The company continues to expand its Enterprise and Partner channels while leveraging AI to optimize its cost structure and maintain high adjusted gross margins (~84%).

Bull CaseUpside scenario

Accelerating digital accessibility demand driven by strict regulatory enforcement (such as the European Accessibility Act and DOJ Title II rules) combined with high operating leverage that expands adjusted EBITDA margins toward 30% as ARR scales.

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