Earnings History
When I look at a stock, the first thing I do is look to see if the company is beating the number. This tells me right away where the market’s expectations have been for the company and how management has communicated to the market. A stock that consistently beats has management communicating expectations to Wall Street that can be achieved. That is what you want to see.

The full year 2025 has held still at $0.83 over the last 60 days.
2026 has increased from $1.14 to $1.22 over the last week.
Growth
There is good growth projected for Innodata (INOD - Free Report) . This fiscal year analysts are expecting $243M in revenue which would be good for 42% topline growth.
Next fiscal year, the consensus is calling for $308 M and that would be good for 26% sales growth.
Valuation
The stock trades at a stiff multiple of 99x forward earnings. That is pretty high even given the dramatic growth the company is seeing. Price to book comes in at 30x and that means anyone that calls themselves a value investor is not going to be interested in this stock. Price to sales comes in at 11.4x but that is inline with other AI names.
The story here is that there is sold growth and margins are increasing. Those two things together mean EPS will move higher and that often translates into a higher earnings multiple.
As for the mounting talk that this is an AI bubble… well that is what people say when they want a correction in a sector so they can pick up more shares at a discount. If this is an AI bubble, we are only at the very start of it.
