The companys Q2 2026 results raised full-year revenue guidance to USD 516 million-USD 523 million from USD 500 million-USD 515 million, according to Yahoo Finance on August 6, 2026.
Revenue beat supports higher guidance

For the full year, adjusted EBITDA guidance increased to USD 50 million-USD 53 million from USD 44 million-USD 47 million, according to Yahoo Finance on August 6, 2026.
Profitability is the next test
GAAP results remained negative in Q2, with a net loss of USD 17 million, or USD 0.41 per diluted share, compared with a USD 21 million loss and USD 0.52 loss per share in Q2 2025. Adjusted EBITDA reached USD 14.3 million, up USD 8.7 million from the prior-year quarter, according to Yahoo Finance.

Consensus target stays above the stock
MarketBeat reported on September 18, 2026 that eight analysts had a Moderate Buy consensus, including five buys, two holds and one sell. The average 12-month price target was USD 24.61, which lies 72.7 percent above the October 2 price of USD 14.25.
The valuation gap reflects both the raised 2026 outlook and the companys continuing GAAP losses. For investors, the operating leverage visible in adjusted EBITDA must translate into durable cash generation while PAR expands its software and artificial-intelligence offering.
