These announcements illustrate a steady flow of investor‑facing events and commercial wins, yet they have not yet translated into sustainable profitability.
Fundamentals and Valuation
Cyabra’s valuation metrics remain deeply distorted by its ongoing losses. The trailing twelve‑month (TTM) price‑to‑earnings (P/E) ratio sits at –0.06, reflecting a near‑zero earnings base rather than a meaningful earnings multiple. The price‑to‑book (P/B) ratio is –0.37, and EV/EBITDA stands at –0.43, both indicating that traditional valuation lenses are inverted by the company’s negative profitability.
Despite the bleak earnings picture, the firm’s balance sheet shows an exceptionally high return on invested capital (ROIC) of 73.30 %, a figure that emerges from a tiny equity base and modest operating assets. Return on equity (ROE) is 122.2 %, driven largely by the same equity compression. Gross margins are 85.07 %, suggesting that the underlying software platform retains a high proportion of revenue after direct costs. However, operating margins are –304.8 % and net margins –333.1 %, underscoring the scale of operating expenses and the depth of the loss pipeline.
Analyst consensus places a target price of $1.00, implying a 233 % upside from the current $0.30 level, yet the LOPJLB signal remains firmly bearish.

| Operating margin | –304.8 % |

Multi‑Year Financial Trajectory
Cyabra’s revenue trajectory has been the lone bright spot in an otherwise turbulent financial history. From $0.80 M in 2021 (implicit from the 2021‑12‑31 PE figure) to $5.71 M in 2025, the company has compounded revenue at an approximate CAGR of 73 % over the four‑year span. The 2022 fiscal year recorded $0.80 M in revenue, climbing to $1.92 M in 2023, $4.16 M in 2024, and $5.71 M in 2025.
Earnings per share (EPS) have remained negative throughout, moving from –$0.44 in 2022 to –$0.93 in 2025, a modest improvement in absolute terms but still reflecting a loss‑generating operation. Free cash flow (FCF) has been consistently negative, with –$4.59 M in 2022, –$4.46 M in 2023, –$5.28 M in 2024, and a steep –$8.20 M in 2025, indicating that cash consumption is accelerating faster than revenue growth.
Margin dynamics reveal a paradox: gross margins have risen from 65.66 % in 2022 to 84.83 % in 2025, reflecting improved cost efficiencies in delivering the software service. Yet operating and net margins have deteriorated, moving from –711.9 % (op) / –759.5 % (net) in 2022 to –209.7 % (op) / –224.6 % (net) in 2025. The narrowing of the loss percentages suggests that while the company is still unprofitable, the rate of loss relative to revenue is moderating.
Return metrics have also trended downward. ROE fell from 126 % in 2022 to 51.75 % in 2025, while ROA (ROIC) slipped from a staggering 73.30 % (current) to still‑high but less extreme levels in prior years. These shifts hint at a capital‑intensive growth phase where equity is being diluted, and the firm is leveraging its technology to capture market share before achieving scale profitability.
Market Pulse and Regime Context
The broader market environment amplifies Cyabra’s challenges. LOPJLB’s Market Pulse flags a “CRISIS” regime persisting for six days, with the HMM (Hidden Markov Model) regime classified as BEAR for three consecutive days. Breadth metrics show a 33 % bullish participation but a net breadth of –0.28, indicating that bearish pressure outweighs the limited buying interest.
Technical breadth signals highlight an EMA‑based bearish crossover and an elevated regime‑flip risk, suggesting that momentum is turning sharply downward. The stochastic K indicator is at zero, reinforcing the lack of buying momentum, while a squeeze reading of 1.668 points to compressed volatility that could precede a further price decline if the bearish bias holds.
In this macro‑stress context, Cyabra’s modest price rally potential is constrained by both company‑specific fundamentals and the systemic risk environment. Investors with exposure to micro‑caps are likely to be especially sensitive to the heightened risk premium embedded in the crisis regime.
LOPJLB Signal Read
The LOPJLB engine has issued a SELL directional signal for CYAB, assigning a score of –5 within a CRISIS market regime. The composite PERF score of –40.50 and a FUND quality score of 9.94 reflect deteriorating performance momentum paired with a modest quality rating. The stock’s Value score (13.00), Growth score (35.00), GARP score (5.40) and Quality score (9.94) combine into a Balanced archetype, indicating that while growth attributes are relatively strong, valuation and quality considerations are muted.
Cyabra is trading 97.9 % below its 52‑week high, with a market capitalization of $6.5 M, underscoring its micro‑cap status and susceptibility to volatility.
