ALLT’s Q4 Expectations

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Allot’s revenues in the fourth quarter of 2024 is pegged at $24.4 million, implying a slight year-over-year increment.

We expect Security as a Service (SECaaS) revenues to have improved on the back of the expanding top-tier customer base and increased traction of its security solution among the subscriber base of customers.

In the third quarter of 2024, Vodafone UK expanded its cybersecurity services to protect fixed broadband customers by launching a security net home powered by ALLT’s SECaaS solution. The company announced its solution provided to MEO that brings customers a unified converged solution for mobile and home networks. We expect these security deployments built on Allot’s SECaaS solution to have boosted subscriber growth and driven long-term recurring revenue growth.

The consensus mark for this quarter is pegged at breakeven, whereas it incurred a loss of 43 cents per share a year ago. Top-line growth is expected to have caused the bottom line to break even.
