Spok Cuts FY Revenue Outlook as Wireless Decline Offsets Software Gains
SPOK is trading near its 52-week low of $9.95 (10% above the low).
Summary
Spok's Q2 revenue slipped 1.9% YoY as a 1.8% drop in wireless units overshadowed 3%+ software growth, including a 52% surge in license revenue. Adjusted EBITDA jumped 22% to $9.1M, but net income fell 9.5%. The company lowered its full-year revenue guidance to $132.5M–$139.5M from $136M–$143M, citing strategic realignment and sales pipeline visibility, while keeping the adjusted EBITDA midpoint at $30M. An $8M narrowband license sale added cash but underscores the ongoing wireless erosion. The guidance cut signals management expects the wireless headwind to persist, even as software bookings jumped 92% sequentially. With only one analyst at 'hold' and a $14 price target, the lowered outlook may pressure the stock's recent $10.96 level.
