Verint Systems Inc. (NASDAQ:VRNT) provides customer engagement solutions. It offers Verint Open Platform to help brands enhance customer experience automation across various touchpoints. These are between the organization and customers in the contact center, back office, branch, websites, and mobile apps. It also offers AI-powered bots to deliver AI business outcomes across the enterprise.

In FQ4 2025, the company’s ARR growth reached 5%, which exceeded the guidance of 4% due to the momentum in AI-powered CX automation and the growing adoption of Verint’s AI solutions by customers. ARR growth also accelerated sequentially throughout the year. The company forecasts another year of ARR growth acceleration and raised its FQ4 2026 ARR outlook to $768 million, which would be up 8% year-over-year.

On March 28, Wedbush lowered Verint’s price target to $30 from $38, while keeping an Outperform rating. This adjustment came after the company’s Q4 earnings that missed both the top and bottom lines because of the timing of unbundled SaaS revenue renewals. However, Verint Systems Inc. (NASDAQ:VRNT) continues to capitalize on the current demand pipeline for the CX platform while further embedding AI capabilities into it.
