Why is Alkami Technology, Inc. Common Stock (ALKT) stock moving?
Alkami reported Q3 2026 revenue of $134.9M, up 19.4% year over year and above the $133.5M estimate, with adjusted EPS of $0.237 versus $0.20 expected; GAAP EPS of $(0.06) missed. FY2026 sales guidance was raised to $530.5M-$532.0M, while Q4 sales guidance of $139.7M-$141.2M sat close to the $140.3M consensus. The stock then fell sharply on Oct 29 (close $12.69 from $15.53, about -18%, on 7.8M shares) after Citizens cut to Market Perform and KeyBanc to Sector Weight over 2027 growth and backlog visibility. JPMorgan kept Underweight with a $13 target, while Needham kept Buy with a lowered $20 target. Shares have recovered to $14.16 (Nov 10), about 14% above the Oct 30 low of $12.40, and volume has faded from the Oct 29 spike, though the price remains below the pre-results $15-16 range. Operational news is steady: Fidelity Bank went live on MANTL loan origination and Texoma Community Credit Union expanded to the Digital Sales & Service Platform. A Chief Accounting Officer resignation (Oct 2) and interim accounting oversight by the CFO add minor governance noise. The main risk is 2027 visibility, and upside depends on that concern clearing.

About Alkami Technology, Inc. Common Stock
Alkami Technology, based in Plano, Texas, sells cloud-based digital banking software that US banks and credit unions use to run their online and mobile banking for retail and business customers. Its customers are mostly community and regional financial institutions. In September 2026 it finished a strategic review, turned down activist investor Jana Partners' push to sell the company, and chose to stay independent.
How it makes money
Most of its revenue is recurring subscription fees from multi-year contracts. Fees are usually based on how many registered users each bank or credit union has on the platform. Smaller amounts come from implementation services and add-on products like onboarding, account opening, fraud prevention and data analytics. Revenue was about $444 million in 2025, up about 33% from 2024. Guidance for 2026 is about $530 million, and the company is profitable on an adjusted EBITDA basis but still reports a GAAP net loss.
