Valuation Metrics
Fundamental Analysis
Key Financial Insights: ⢠High gross margin ⢠Operating losses ⢠Improved liquidity VRNS shows strong gross margins and improving liquidity with positive quarterly FCF, but substantial operating losses, heavy operating expenses and large liabilities/deferred revenue keep profitability and balance-sheet risk high.
Price Behavior
Key Price Behavior Insights: ⢠Rangebound trading ⢠Support holding ⢠Failed breakouts Support Level: $32â$33 Resistance Level: $35â$36 Over the last month VRNS traded in the low $30s with support near $32â$33 and resistance around $35â$36, showing modestly bullish but rangebound action without a strong breakout.
Sentiment & News
Key News Insights: ⢠Legal wave ⢠ARR dispute ⢠March deadline Multiple law firms have filed investigations and securities class actions accusing Varonis of overstating ARR growth and conversion prospects for FebâOct 2025, with investors urged to seek counsel before the March 9, 2026 lead-plaintiff deadline.
AI Summary
Varonis' management-driven SaaSâfirst pivot (SaaS = 76% of ARR) recasts the company as a highâgrowth SaaS operator rather than a legacy onâprem vendor, making valuation now hinge on execution of migrations and margin conversion versus litigation outcomes. Actionable: require consecutive quarters of SaaS ARR growth with improving NRR and consistent FCF conversion plus clear progress resolving litigationâany slip in these metrics should prompt revaluation or exit.
