Key catalyst

First post-acquisition quarter tests execution against 2026 guide • 2026-05-15

Expected move: -24%

Biggest risk

The bear case is that core growth is still soft: Q4 total revenue was roughly flat, subscription revenue fell 2%, ARR fell 3%, Media & Telecom declined 12% from churn, and 2026 guidance implies only roughly flat revenue with lower EBITDA as integration spending rises [#IR-2026-03-16-Q4][#10-K-2026-03-16].

Invalidation

Break below $1 or thesis failure.

What would change my mind?

The bull case is that Kaltura has already rebuilt profitability, ended 2025 with record Adjusted EBITDA, highest 2025 bookings, and strong retention, then layered in eSelf and PathFactory to create a broader agentic engagement platform with cross-sell potential [#IR-2026-03-16-Q4][#PR-2026-03-16-PathFactory].

2026 guidance points to only modest revenue growth and lower Adjusted EBITDA than 2025 despite the new AI narrative.
ARR and subscription revenue were down in Q4 2025, showing that the legacy business still needs stabilization.
Low coverage and micro-cap liquidity can keep valuation disconnected from fundamentals for long periods.

Commentary

Sentiment is mixed-to-cautiously constructive. The March 2026 news cycle added real narrative fuel around agentic avatars, PathFactory, and enterprise AI positioning, and the company has tangible profitability progress behind that story. But the harder fundamental read is still a monitoring view: growth remains subdued, ARR declined, and 2026 guidance bakes in integration spending and only limited top-line acceleration [#IR-2026-03-16-Q4][#PR-2026-03-16-Avatar][#8-K-2026-04-06].

First post-acquisition quarter tests execution against 2026 guide
Kaltura guided Q1 2026 revenue to $42.6-$43.4 million and Adjusted EBITDA to $2.3-$3.3 million while funding integration of eSelf and the planned PathFactory expansion; the April 6, 2026 8-K then confirmed PathFactory closed on April 1 for $22 million cash, making the next results update the first clean read on whether integration pressure is manageable [#IR-2026-03-16-Q4][#8-K-2026-04-06].

Avatar Video Production Studio beta and PLG rollout need commercial proof
2026-09-30
Kaltura launched the beta of Avatar Video Production Studio on March 16 and said self-served purchase should follow in the coming months; if beta conversion and product-led adoption materialize, the new AI creation layer could improve growth quality, but for now it remains an early product signal rather than booked revenue [#PR-2026-03-16-Avatar][#IR-2026-03-16-Q4].
Prob 40% • Move 24% • Priced-in 20%
PathFactory cross-sell can broaden Kaltura's enterprise platform
2026-12-31
Management said PathFactory adds AI-driven content intelligence, personalization, conversation automation, and journey orchestration, with over 100 enterprise customers, while Kaltura said the combination is intended to move the company beyond video tooling toward richer agentic digital experiences; if cross-sell lands across EE&T accounts, this is the clearest multi-quarter upside lever now that the deal has closed [#PR-2026-03-16-PathFactory][#8-K-2026-04-06].
Prob 45% • Move 32% • Priced-in 25%

Risks

2026 guidance points to only modest revenue growth and lower Adjusted EBITDA than 2025 despite the new AI narrative.
ARR and subscription revenue were down in Q4 2025, showing that the legacy business still needs stabilization.
Low coverage and micro-cap liquidity can keep valuation disconnected from fundamentals for long periods.
Media & Telecom churn remains a drag, and segment weakness can offset EE&T improvement.
PathFactory and eSelf integration could absorb cash and management attention without producing measurable cross-sell.

Peers

Symbol	Summary
CXDO	Crexendo is a small-cap recurring-software name with enterprise communications exposure; useful mainly as a micro-cap software execution and multiple reference, though its product mix is not especially close to Kaltura.
TRAK	ReposiTrak offers a more verticalized SaaS model, but it is still a better recurring-software operating comparison than non-software micro-caps; the peer read is mainly on revenue durability and software margin structure.
HUBC	Hub Cyber Security is a loose peer at best, but it highlights how volatile small-cap software/security narratives can be when execution and investor confidence are still being rebuilt.
