The latest announcement is out from Genasys ( (GNSS) ).

On January 26, 2026, Genasys Inc.’s board and compensation committee approved a 2026 pay package for CEO Richard Danforth that includes a $490,000 base salary, an at‑target cash bonus equal to 100% of salary tied to revenue, annual recurring revenue (ARR), and debt‑repayment metrics, and a total of 400,000 restricted stock units split evenly between time‑based and performance‑based grants. The structure tightly links Danforth’s upside to operational performance, with the cash bonus ranging from $0 to a maximum of $784,000 depending on the achievement of revenue, ARR, and debt‑reduction thresholds, and with the 200,000 performance RSUs vesting only if all three measures meet or exceed specified levels, while the company simultaneously canceled 800,000 previously granted performance‑based options, signaling an updated incentive design that emphasizes balance‑sheet strength, recurring revenue growth, and clearer alignment between executive rewards and shareholder value.

The most recent analyst rating on (GNSS) stock is a Hold with a $2.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Genasys stock, see the GNSS Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on GNSS Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, GNSS is a Neutral.

Overall score is held back primarily by weak financial quality (losses, negative cash flow, and higher leverage), despite strong recent revenue growth. Technicals are moderately supportive with the stock trading above key moving averages, and the latest earnings call improved the outlook via record results, backlog strength, and margin guidance, but valuation remains challenged due to negative earnings.
