$band This is a very interesting development. Opens up enterprise market when other players are cutting back.
Company should be a very interesting acquisition target

$band "Looking to 2026, we expect growth in Voice and Voice AI offerings, higher software revenue, and a strong political messaging season to drive us toward our medium-term financial targets
Someone should try to buy them. 2-3b might do it but really depends on what founder motivation is (continue build independently or move into vc for eg)
$BAND Citizens JMP reiterated a Market Outperform rating and $36.00 price target on Bandwidth.
"1) Bandwidth is focusing on the enterprise, and our sense is the company is winning more $1M+ ARR customers than ever and that new enterprise wins are standardizing on Maestro;
2) the company is leaning into agentic AI and monetization of premium features, highlighted by Activation Agent and adjacent capabilities like anomaly detection;
3) Bandwidth maintains strong partnerships with key platforms, including Salesforce (CRM, MO, $ 430 PT), a relationship that has been in place since 2019; 4) the company targets a TAM that was $18B in 2024 and is estimated to grow to $28B in 2028;
5) we like the leadership of CEO David Morken, CFO Daryl Raiford, Chief Product Officer John Bell, and COO Devesh Agarwal; and
6) we believe the company makes an attractive acquisition target, trading at a depressed valuation of 0.8x 2026E EV/revenue and 8x 20 26E EV/FCF."
I think this is right. Voice is the future.
My primary interface to AI is voice mode. I have to tell it to ignore background noise every time but it is really really good besides that.
Too bad Siri sucks.
@AggieCapitalist $band maths. Mkt cap 467m. Net debt 200m. EV 667m. Conservative midpoint fy25 EBITDA guide 86m - they get at least 90m. 7.4x EV / EBITDA growing >10%. Secular opportunity in Voice Ai agents. All the Gartner magic quadrant players for class and ucaas are clients.
@scheplick@caps_small100 AI voice agents is the play - if it takes off bandwidth benefits in 2 ways. 1) increased voice volume (large cloud customers and enterprise) and 2) increased price per minute as you mentioned (enterprise customers)
The only 'miss' for earnings was the q125 guide. Management said part of it is lower surcharges and excluding that there is still 4% growth ex political. This implies decel from 7+% in q4 and sig acceleration 2h25 given guide ex political is 8-11%. Unfortunately no qn on this
