The analyst noted that artificial intelligence is becoming an important industry driver, and as its adoption grows, the need for reliable data protection is expected to rise, benefiting companies such as AvePoint.

From a financial perspective, AvePoint maintains a solid position, with consistent profitability, expanding margins, healthy free cash flow, and a strong cash balance that supports its ongoing share repurchase program. Management is confident in achieving the “Rule of 40” (a measure for profitable growth in software) in 2025, reinforcing the strength of its growth and profitability mix.

At its current valuation of a PE of roughly 31 times based on calendar year 2027 EPS, the stock offers exposure to a durable SaaS model with structural tailwinds in data management and security.
