2026 - The year of meaningful AI impact.4 Feb 2026 08:55
Looking at the RNS released on Monday, which provides guidance for 2025, it seems that the B90 has improved significantly, moving from a net loss of £5.5m in 2023 to a net profit in 2025.
This suggests that we should see a substantial cash amount on the balance sheet when the audited numbers are released. This is compared to the FY numbers for 2024. If this does not signal a completed turnaround, I do not know what will.
The analyst target price set in 2023 was around 9p. From my calculations, it looks like the company is in line with or ahead of the numbers at that time. However, the stock is still trading under 4p. Go figure!
The forward-looking part of the RNS released by the company indicates that all is well and that the company has started the year well. Or at least, that's my interpretation. I guess we'll find out when the audited numbers are released. Hopefully, a full Q1 update will follow.
No matter how I look at it now, I think the share price does not reflect the analyst valuation, which has been available for a long time. Nor does the share price compare well with that of peers, in my opinion, given the growth that B90 can produce in comparison.
Finally, B90 is a highly automated company. Whenever an interview is published or an RNS is released, the focus is often on AI and machine learning. In a world where competitors seem to be outperformed by AI (as many of them rely on traditional SEO methods), B90 is a breath of fresh AI air. It's refreshing to see AI making a meaningful impact on a business for a change. I hope this continues to be the case. If so, it will only improve margins going forward. That will be good for the shares I hold. And my God have I been patient..
Like Anthropic's Claude AI tool is changing the game in the legal software market, with legal tech companies reaching billions in valuation and AI tools beginning to match or outperform lawyers in speed and accuracy, I hope to see the same development accross the board, including the sector B90 operates in. I continue to hold. Not gonna sell @ single digits.
