Alkami Technology (ALKT) is back in focus after rolling out Automated Stage Match in its SDK Wizard, a product update aimed at speeding up development for financial institution clients and simplifying how teams test new features.

The latest SDK update lands after a busy few weeks that included Alkami’s Nacha Preferred Partner recognition and full year 2025 results. The 1 day share price return of 3.4% comes against a year to date share price return decline of 24.8% and a 1 year total shareholder return decline of 37.5%, while the 3 year total shareholder return of 22.0% points to a stronger longer run experience for investors.

With Alkami still loss making but reporting full year revenue of US$443.64 million, a share price of US$17.06 and a sizeable discount to some analyst targets and intrinsic estimates, is there real upside left here, or is the market already pricing in future growth?

Most Popular Narrative: 24.7% Undervalued

At a last close of $17.06 versus a fair value estimate of $22.67, the most followed narrative sees Alkami trading at a clear discount, and that view rests heavily on how its digital banking platform could compound recurring revenue over time.

Continued rollout of new products and expansion into adjacent banking services (e.g., AI personalization, integrated data/marketing, payments), coupled with high client retention rates, supports recurring revenue expansion and provides multiple avenues for margin improvement and long-term earnings upside.

Curious what kind of revenue climb and margin shift sit behind that valuation gap, and how an almost double digit discount rate still supports a higher fair value? The full narrative spells out the growth runway, profit swing and future earnings multiple that analysts are using to justify that $22.67 figure. Result: Fair Value of $22.67 (UNDERVALUED)

However, this depends on Alkami continuing to grow its regional and community bank base and avoiding revenue or margin pressure from bigger fintech competitors and pricing pressure in digital banking.

Another View: Multiples Paint A Tougher Picture

While the SWS model flags Alkami as trading 43.2% below its fair value, the P/S ratio tells a more cautious story. At 4.1x sales versus 3.6x for the US Software industry, 3.4x for peers and a fair ratio of 3.1x, the stock screens as expensive on this simple yardstick. If the market leans back toward that fair ratio, how comfortable are you with the downside this implies?
