AvePoint
AvePoint's revenue rose 26.9% to $420 million in fiscal 2025. Its operating margin was 7.9%, up from 2.2% a year earlier. Free cash flow was $82 million, down 5.0%. It paid out $50 million in dividends and buybacks, 61% of free cash flow. The diluted share count rose 24.8%.
Operating margin is operating income as a share of revenue. Free cash flow is cash from operations minus capital spending. Return on equity is net income as a share of shareholders' equity. Market cap is the last closing share price times the latest diluted share count, so it is approximate. P/E is the last close divided by diluted earnings per share over the last four quarters, or the latest fiscal year where the quarters aren't available; there is none when the company made a loss.

What AvePoint does
AvePoint sells software that helps organizations protect, govern and manage their data in the cloud. Its AvePoint Confidence Platform works with services such as Microsoft, Salesforce, Google, Amazon Web Services, Box and Dropbox. The company says the spread of AI tools makes poor data hygiene riskier, because AI can expose sensitive information or cause compliance failures.
The platform has three suites. The Control suite automates data governance and tracks access and risk across collaboration tools. The Resilience suite handles backup, ransomware recovery and lifecycle management. The company also sells related services. Customers are mostly IT, security and development teams.
AvePoint describes a recurring revenue model: as customers use more of the platform, they gain more value and switching costs rise. It sells directly and, for small and medium-sized businesses, through resale and distribution partners. It also relies on third-party data centers to run the platform.
Its biggest risks, as it describes them
- Recent strong growth may not continue.
- Difficulty predicting how many customers will renew, and how that affects revenue.
- Falling behind rapid changes in technology and customer needs.
- Dependence on resale and distribution partners to reach small and medium-sized customers.
- Reliance on third-party data centers, whose outages or higher costs could hurt service.
