Data Quality

Data: High

Hume AI presents a strong upside opportunity, primarily driven by its projected revenue of $100M for 2026, which makes its current $219M valuation a very low ~2.19x revenue multiple.

Last updated: March 10, 2026

Bull (35%)+300%

Hume AI successfully executes its new strategy as a primary research infrastructure partner under CEO Andrew Ettinger, achieving its $100M 2026 revenue target and expanding its market share. The market re-rates the company to a healthy 8.76x revenue multiple, leading to a $876M valuation, a 300% increase from current.

Base (30%)+128%

Hume AI meets its $100M revenue projection for 2026 but faces ongoing competitive pressures from incumbents like Google DeepMind. The company's valuation expands to a more modest 5x revenue multiple, reaching $500M, representing a 128% upside.

Bear (35%)-54%

Hume AI struggles to fully execute its new strategy and achieve its ambitious revenue targets due to the loss of key talent and intense competition. Revenue falls short of projections, and the valuation drops to $100M, a 54.3% decrease. With $74M in liquidation preferences, common stock holders would see significantly reduced returns.
