AudioEye Stock Surges on Strong Revenue Beat and 2026 Outlook
Digital accessibility firm posts its 40th consecutive quarter of record revenue, with recurring revenue topping $40 million and strong margin guidance signaling sustained momentum.
Shares of AudioEye Inc. (NASDAQ: AEYE) soared in trading on Tuesday after the digital accessibility software provider released preliminary fourth-quarter financial results that surpassed analyst estimates and forecast a strong outlook for 2026.
The Tucson-based technology company announced that it expects to report preliminary fourth-quarter 2025 revenue of $10.5 million, edging out consensus estimates of $10.3 million. The performance marks the company’s 40th consecutive period of reporting record revenue, underscoring a consistent growth trajectory in the expanding market for web accessibility solutions.
In a statement accompanying the results, the company highlighted significant growth in its recurring revenue base. Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR), a key metric for software-as-a-service (SaaS) companies, grew to $40.0 million, up from $38.7 million in the previous quarter. AudioEye also guided for a robust 26% adjusted EBITDA margin, signaling improving profitability and operational efficiency. Looking ahead, the company stated it anticipates “strong growth and continued operating leverage” for the full year 2026.
The positive results come as demand for digital accessibility solutions intensifies globally. Businesses are facing increasing legal and social pressure to make their websites and digital content accessible to people with disabilities. Regulatory frameworks like the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in the U.S. and the European Accessibility Act have created significant tailwinds for the sector, making compliance a key priority for organizations.
Wall Street has maintained a positive outlook on the company. Based on ratings from five analysts, AudioEye currently holds a “Strong Buy” consensus. The average analyst price target stands at $22.20, suggesting that analysts see considerable upside potential from the stock's current levels, even following its recent run-up.
AudioEye’s performance is further bolstered by recent industry accolades and signs of insider confidence. Earlier this month, the company was recognized as a leader in G2's Winter 2024 reports for Digital Accessibility Platforms, and it also recently received a 2025 SaaS Award for its innovations in compliance technology. Furthermore, market data shows that company insiders have been net buyers of the stock over the past three months, a signal that those closest to the business are confident in its future prospects.
As organizations worldwide continue to invest in digital inclusivity, AudioEye's focus on AI-driven technology to automate and manage web accessibility positions it to capitalize on a durable, long-term growth trend. Investors will be watching closely when the company releases its full, audited fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 results in the coming weeks for further details on its strategy to maintain momentum in 2026.
