CyberArk Software (NasdaqGS:CYBR) is back on investors’ radar after its latest earnings release, which paired higher fourth quarter and full year 2025 revenue with a much smaller quarterly net loss.
See our latest analysis for CyberArk Software.
The earnings release and upcoming WEST Conference appearance have arrived after a weaker patch for the stock. The 30 day share price return is 10.40% and the 90 day share price return is 20.85%, set against a 3 year total shareholder return of about 1.8x. This hints that long term enthusiasm has cooled recently but not disappeared.
If this earnings driven move has you looking beyond a single name, it could be a good moment to see what else is happening across 57 profitable AI stocks that aren't just burning cash and compare how other AI focused software players are being priced.
With CyberArk shares giving back some ground over the past month despite higher revenue and a narrower quarterly loss, the key question now is whether this pullback leaves the stock undervalued or if the market is already pricing in future growth.
CyberArk’s most followed narrative puts fair value at about $474.79 versus the last close at $409.22, framing the recent pullback as a potential valuation gap rather than a verdict on the business.
The evolving machine identity market, coupled with CyberArk’s focus on AI-driven identity security through its machine identity capabilities and Secrets Management, is expected to drive significant revenue growth as organizations seek integrated solutions to manage increasingly complex identity security needs. CyberArk's unified identity security platform, which includes privileged access management and workforce security, is expected to drive higher average deal sizes, revenue growth, and improved net margins as customers increasingly consolidate their identity security solutions with trusted vendors.
Want to see what sits behind that valuation gap? The narrative leans on faster revenue compounding, a swing to profits, and a premium earnings multiple that assumes CyberArk keeps winning bigger identity security budgets.
Result: Fair Value of $474.79 (UNDERVALUED)
Have a read of the narrative in full and understand what's behind the forecasts.
However, you also need to weigh two key watchpoints: the execution risk around integrating Venafi and Zilla Security, and the pressure from intensifying identity security competition.

That $474.79 fair value relies on future earnings. If you switch to the current P/S ratio, CyberArk trades on 15.2x sales, which is far above the US Software average of 3.8x, the peer average of 7.3x, and a fair ratio of 7.8x. That kind of gap can mean rich expectations and a smaller margin for error. Which story do you trust more right now?
