Understanding Datavault AI after its recent name change

Datavault AI (DVLT), formerly WiSA Technologies, recently adopted its new name in February 2025. The change highlights its focus on data management platforms, cyber secure data monetization tools, and AI driven software agents.

At a share price of $0.7297, Datavault AI has seen a 28.18% 1 month share price return. However, its year to date share price return and 1 year total shareholder return remain negative, suggesting interest has picked up recently after a difficult longer term run.

With Datavault AI still loss making and carrying a value score of 1, alongside a recent 28.18% 1 month return and a price target of US$3, is this a discounted entry point, or is the market already pricing in future growth?

Most Popular Narrative: 82.6% Undervalued

Compared with the last close at $0.73, the most followed valuation story around Datavault AI points to a fair value of $4.20, implying a large gap between narrative and market price.

Based on assumed Q4 earnings of approximately $24 million which would meet revenue guidance from the company as of November 2025, I believe the current market valuation of Datavault AI Inc. (DVLT) does not reflect the company’s fundamental progress or its position within the AI and data-monetization sector.

If DVLT were valued in line with peer AI companies using conservative revenue-multiple comparisons, particularly those trading between 4× and 7× forward quarterly revenue, a fair market capitalization would imply a share price of at least $4.20.

Curious what sits behind that $4.20 figure. The narrative leans heavily on one quarter’s revenue, powerful margins, and a bold future earnings multiple. See how those pieces fit.

Result: Fair Value of $4.20 (UNDERVALUED)

However, this story could still be knocked off course if Q4 revenue falls short of the assumed US$24 million or if losses remain wide at US$78.994 million.

Another View: What the Market Multiple Is Saying

The $4.20 narrative leans on revenue and a future earnings multiple, but the current P/S of 11.5x tells a harder story. That is richer than both US Semiconductor peers at 7.4x and the peer group average of 6.9x, even if it screens as cheap versus a very high fair ratio of 120x. For you, that gap is either valuation headroom or extra risk if sentiment cools.
