Arlo Technologies (ARLO) recently reported second quarter 2026 results, highlighting record subscriptions and services revenue, steady earnings per share, and a higher full year outlook for both revenue and diluted EPS.

At a share price of $14.33, Arlo Technologies has seen a 10.66% 90 day share price return and a 7.66% 30 day share price return, while its 5 year total shareholder return of 150.09% contrasts with a 12.99% decline over the past year. This combination suggests longer term momentum along with more recent pressure around expectations and risk.

After Arlo Technologies’ strong subscription gains and guidance raise, the share price rebound is already in motion. The key issue now is whether current expectations still leave meaningful upside, or if most of the re rating is already priced in.

Most Popular Narrative: 33% Undervalued

Arlo Technologies' most followed narrative anchors fair value at $21.40 compared with the last close at $14.33, which implies a sizeable valuation gap that centers on the subscription platform story.

The recently signed strategic partnership with ADT, North America's largest security company, with anticipated impact beginning in 2026, represents a major new channel for unlocking additional services revenue and ARR, contributing to future revenue growth and margin expansion.

Want to see what sits behind that services heavy story? The fair value rests on measured revenue growth, firmer margins and a richer earnings multiple than the sector. Curious which assumptions really carry the model?

Result: Fair Value of $21.40 (UNDERVALUED)

However, Arlo Technologies still faces real pressure from hardware commoditisation and the possibility that customers push back on premium subscription pricing if competition intensifies.

Another View on Arlo Technologies’ Valuation

The earlier narrative leans heavily on fair value at $21.40, with a focus on earnings and subscription growth assumptions. A separate check using the current 50.5x P/E against a fair ratio of 19.6x and a US Electronic industry average of 31.6x paints a very different picture of valuation risk.

On this measure, Arlo Technologies screens as expensive even versus peers, and the gap to the fair ratio suggests limited room for error if expectations are not met. That raises a simple question for investors: Is the services story strong enough to justify paying such a premium multiple?
