From an instinctual contrarian view, BigBear.ai (BBAI) appears to be a perfect contrarian buy. For one thing, analysts still like BBAI stock. After all, the underlying enterprise — which provides decision-making solutions based off artificial intelligence — is powerfully relevant. I don’t need to tell you how generative AI has radically changed the world. Yet even the most speculative entities don’t lose 39% in one week without justification.
Fundamentally, BigBear.ai appears to have gone off the rails. Prior to the company’s fourth-quarter earnings report, analysts anticipated a loss per share of 14 cents on $54.6 million in sales. Unfortunately, the actual loss was much worse at 43 cents per share. Also, the actual sales tally of $43.8 million truly missed the mark.
