AI snapshot
Six angles, distilled from the data.
The stock remains in a damaged multi-month downtrend, still below its 200-day average of 4.9526 and 50-day average of 3.7177. It is trading much closer to the 52-week low of 2.9 than the 52-week high of 9.98, signaling a weak recovery phase rather than a confirmed reversal.
Street sentiment is constructive, with a Buy consensus and an average target of 11.17, well above the current setup. That said, Lake Street cut its target to 8 from 12 in September, so the bullish view has become more measured even as recent initiations stayed positive.
The earnings profile is still choppy: the company has beaten just 2 of the last 6 quarters, and the latest quarter missed by 127.3%. Analysts still model improvement, with next-year EPS at -0.41 versus -1.84 trailing, so shareholders should watch for narrower losses and better execution.
Insider activity leans negative overall, driven by repeated selling from a 10 percent owner across late August and September. The main offset is two open-market purchases by the executive chairman, but the heavier sell count and broader selling pattern keep the signal cautious.
Profitability remains weak, but gross margin of 29.7% shows the model still has some pricing power. Losses are the issue: operating margin is -44.0%, net margin is -81.4%, and free cash flow was -79.3 million for fiscal 2026, despite 57.3 million of cash and a net cash position of 13.0 million.
GLOO is positioned as a niche software platform rather than a broad horizontal SaaS name, which limits direct peer comparability. The valuation still screens rich versus fundamentals, with a negative earnings base and a market cap of 251.3 million against a sector backdrop that typically rewards profitable growth.

Earnings call summaries
Pick a quarter — each call distilled into takeaways, results, and a bull vs bear read.
Gloo posted another outsized revenue jump in Q2, widened platform cross-sell and AI momentum, and raised full-year guidance while still targeting adjusted EBITDA profitability in Q4.· September 9, 2026
- Q2 revenue rose 188% year over year to $46.6 million, with management saying the company exceeded both revenue and adjusted EBITDA guidance.
- Cost of revenue improved to 64.0% of total revenue from 74.8% a year ago, and adjusted EBITDA improved $3.2 million sequentially to negative $8.3 million.
- Full-year 2026 revenue guidance was raised by $5 million to $200 million, inclusive of Cedarstone; Q3 revenue is guided to $55 million and adjusted EBITDA to negative $3.5 million.
- Management reiterated a path to adjusted EBITDA profitability in Q4 2026 and said they expect additional operating leverage and incremental margin improvement.
- Cross-sell, acquisitions, and applied AI were presented as the main growth engines, with more than 30 customers above $1 million in annual contract value and the first customer above $10 million.
Q2 revenue was $46.6 million, up 188% year over year and 12% sequentially. Platform Solutions revenue was $22.9 million, up 209% from $7.4 million, and Platform revenue was $23.6 million, up 170% from $8.7 million. Cost of revenue was 64.0% of total revenue, improving 10.8 percentage points from 74.8% in the prior-year period. Adjusted EBITDA improved $3.2 million sequentially to negative $8.3 million. The company took a $4.4 million restructuring charge. Cash and cash equivalents were $39.3 million as of July 31, 2026, and it raised $23.7 million net in a follow-on offering. Gloo raised full-year 2026 revenue guidance by $5 million to $200 million, expects Q3 revenue of $55 million and adjusted EBITDA of negative $3.5 million, and continues to expect adjusted EBITDA profitability in Q4 2026. It also expects a weighted average share count of approximately 90 million in Q3.
Scott Beck framed the quarter as proof that Gloo’s strategy is working: the company is scaling a fragmented, underserved market while improving operating leverage. He emphasized applied AI as a core differentiator, saying the business is increasingly delivering outcomes rather than just software tools, and that better frontier models make Gloo more valuable. His tone was confident and expansionary, focusing on land-and-expand, cross-sell across capital partners, and the long-term opportunity created by acquisitions and trusted relationships.
Paul Seamon said Q2 revenue beat guidance and was driven by Gloo 360, Workspace and acquisitions such as Masterworks, Westfall and EMD. He highlighted margin progress, noting cost of revenue improved to 64.0% from 74.8% a year ago, and said adjusted EBITDA improved sequentially to negative $8.3 million. He also pointed to the $4.4 million restructuring charge, the $23.7 million net raised in the follow-on offering, $39.3 million of cash, and the extension of a $13.2 million senior secured loan to April 2028. On outlook, he raised FY26 revenue guidance to $200 million, guided Q3 revenue to $55 million and adjusted EBITDA to negative $3.5 million, and reiterated Q4 profitability.
Analysts pressed on how much remaining margin improvement would come from gross margin versus cost synergies; management said they expect additional operating leverage in operating expenses over the next couple of quarters. Questions also focused on visibility and whether the second-half outlook was backed by backlog or still heavily dependent on sales execution; management said recurring revenue and a strong pipeline give them solid visibility into Q3 and Q4. On cross-sell, Pat Gelsinger said the company has formalized a sales compensation program to incentivize cross-selling, and management said most revenue growth still comes from existing customers but acquisitions are adding new names that can be expanded. Analysts also asked about AI token costs, developer traction, and forward-deployed engineering; management said falling token prices help both Gloo’s costs and customer adoption, and that FDE is a key enabler because many customers lack the talent to implement AI.
The positive case is that Gloo is showing very rapid top-line growth while improving margins and keeping operating expenses disciplined. Management pointed to expanding cross-sell, larger customer relationships, more than 30 customers above $1 million in annual contract value, and a first customer above $10 million as evidence that the platform is deepening. They also believe AI, FDE, and acquisitions are reinforcing each other and could drive further operating leverage and eventually free cash flow positive in 2027.
The main risks are that the business is still loss-making, with Q2 adjusted EBITDA at negative $8.3 million and Q3 guided to negative $3.5 million before a targeted Q4 profit. Management acknowledged seasonality, especially the stronger Q3 and more moderate Q4, which could create quarter-to-quarter volatility. The company also remains dependent on continued cross-sell execution, integration of multiple acquisitions, and ongoing cost discipline to hit its profitability targets.

A “Sell” may be a pre-scheduled 10b5-1 plan sale rather than a discretionary decision — read insider selling with that in mind.
