Spark’s Take on PAR Stock

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

The score is held back primarily by weak financial fundamentals (ongoing losses and negative operating/free cash flow) and limited valuation support (negative P/E, no dividend). Offsetting factors include improving business momentum highlighted on the earnings call (strong YoY revenue/ARR growth, better adjusted EBITDA and operating leverage) and constructive technical signals with price above key moving averages and a positive MACD.
