SaaS Spark, Meme Mania, and Cloud Conviction

September 5, 2025

DENVER, Colo., Sep 05, 2025 (247marketnews.com)- This morning’s market narrative weaves together cloud SaaS growth, strategic acquisition plays, and meme-fueled mania, showcasing the different ways companies are riding (or reshaping) their market stories.

Braze (NASDAQ:BRZE) delivered a standout fiscal Q2 2026 performance, showcasing why it’s grabbing Wall Street attention:

  • Revenue soared to $180.1 million, a 23.8% year-over-year increase, topping forecasts.
  • Non‑GAAP EPS came in at $0.15, far exceeding the ~$0.03 expected by analysts.
  • Management raised its full-year non‑GAAP EPS guidance to $0.41–$0.42 from $0.15–$0.18, and bumped revenue guidance to $717–$720 million, up from ~$704 million.
  • Analysts echoed the bullish tone: Mizuho lifted its price target to $45, Citi to $52, while Oppenheimer (despite noting a slight drop in net revenue retention) held firm with a buy rating and a $38 target.

TEN Holdings (NASDAQ:XHLD) may not yet be in the profit column, but it’s staking its future on the recurring-revenue model:

  • The company launched an Early Adopter Program for its upcoming Ten Events Pro (Ten Pro) SaaS platform, aimed at delivering broadcast-grade virtual/hybrid event experiences via cloud, automating complex production tasks and reducing delivery costs.
  • CEO Randy Jones hailed this pivot as a “defining milestone,” expected to unlock scalable, recurring revenue and transform how value is delivered.
  • Analyst sentiment is mixed: TipRanks’ AI analyst labels XHLD an “Underperform,” citing high leverage and negative margins, yet investors see upside, with a buy rating and $8 target in some forecasts.
  • Additional recent milestones include closing its $10 million IPO in February 2025 at $6 per share and launching a $1 million share buyback program for shareholder returns.

TEN’s progression toward SaaS, bolstered by early feedback from beta users and support from majority owner V‑Cube, could translate to meaningful margin expansion, if execution stays on track.

Mobix Labs (NASDAQ:MOBX) has escalated its unsolicited takeover approach for Peraso (NASDAQ:PRSO) with a new, enhanced proposal combining cash and stock consideration, moving beyond its initial all-stock offer. The company argues this upgraded package offers shareholders both immediate liquidity and long-term upside. It has requested a response from Peraso’s board by September 8, 2025, noting readiness to approach shareholders directly if necessary.

This develops a strategic narrative that began in June when Mobix offered a 20% premium over Peraso’s 30-day average stock price in an all-stock deal, emphasizing synergies across 5G/mmWave and defense markets. Peraso, however, pushed back, citing inaccuracies in financial and compliance claims (notably regarding Nasdaq listing thresholds).

Opendoor’s (NASDAQ:OPEN) stock journey this summer may as well be a case study in meme-stock dynamics:

  • In July, shares exploded by 245%, fueled by retail frenzy and short squeezes, but the rise was so dramatic, the stock even paused trading mid-month.
  • The rally extended into August, with shares climbing up to 25% more, driven by renewed interest from tech investor Anthony Pompliano and continued boardroom activism by EMJ Capital’s Eric Jackson, aiming to influence leadership direction.
  • For context, this stock surge starkly contrasts Opendoor’s challenging fundamentals and structural losses—a classic sign of speculative momentum detached from fundamentals.

Guidewire (NYSE:GWRE), a leading platform for P&C insurers, closed out fiscal 2025 with a blockbuster fourth quarter, notching $1.04 billion in ARR and signing 19 new cloud deals, including a 10-year agreement with a Tier-1 insurer. CEO Mike Rosenbaum highlighted “platform maturity and referenceability” as key to unlocking deeper customer commitments.
