Yext stock (ISIN US98585N1063) stood at USD 6.51 on the NYSE on October 2, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. ET, down 1.66 percent on the session. The latest corporate move is a planned acquisition that expands Yext's AI marketing platform into localized paid media.

Flamel.ai adds paid media

According to Business Wire on September 30, 2026, Yext signed a definitive agreement to acquire Flamel.ai. The target's technology runs localized campaigns across Google, Meta and ChatGPT, while Yext plans to connect it with Scout's competitive intelligence.

The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2027, which ends January 31, 2027, and Yext plans to fund it with cash on hand. Financial terms were not disclosed, making execution and eventual customer adoption the key checkpoints for the strategy.

Profitability rises as revenue slips

Yext's investor-relations page reports USD 111.1 million of revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2027, the period ended July 31, 2026, alongside USD 440.8 million of annual recurring revenue and USD 34.0 million of adjusted EBITDA. The same release lists USD 0.21 of non-GAAP earnings per share.

The comparison is mixed: revenue declined 1.8 percent year over year, while adjusted EBITDA increased 29 percent from USD 26.4 million in the year-ago quarter. ARR from customers generating at least USD 50,000 rose 2 percent to USD 405.9 million, but total ARR fell from USD 444.4 million.

Analysts see limited upside

MarketBeat reported on October 4, 2026, that five analysts held a consensus rating of Hold and an average one-year price target of USD 6.33. Against the USD 6.51 reference price, that target lies 2.8 percent below the price.

That valuation view places the Flamel.ai transaction alongside a clear operating test: Yext must turn stronger enterprise economics into renewed companywide growth. The stock's 52-week range of USD 3.27 to USD 9.03 also leaves the October 2 price 27.9 percent below its yearly high.

Yext stock trades below yearly high
