Boral Capital analyst Jason Kolbert raised the firm’s price target on Veritone to $26 from $6, while maintaining a Buy rating on the shares.

Earlier, Veritone released its financial results for Q2 2025, reporting a revenue of over $24 million, which was flat compared to the same period in 2024 and met the high end of its updated guidance. This was driven by a strong performance in its software segment, with non-Veritone Hire software revenue growing over 45% year-over-year.

Revenue from the public sector grew over 90% year-over-year, and the commercial enterprise sector also showed an improvement of $0.8 million.

Despite the revenue performance, Veritone experienced a decline in profitability. As of June 30, the company had $13.9 million in cash and restricted cash and has reduced its debt to ~$128 million from $201 million in December 2021.
