AI Summary
MITK now looks less like a cyclical check-verification name and more like a fraud-prevention/SaaS platform with improving profitability and net cash, but the stock likely won't re-rate until management proves that rising fraud demand can translate into durable recurring growth, stable margins, and consistent free cash flow beyond lumpy renewal timing.
