Key Points
BigBear.ai's business is stabilizing as it gains more government contracts.
Innodata’s business is booming as it processes more AI data.
One of these AI stocks looks like a more compelling investment.
BigBear.ai (NYSE: BBAI) and Innodata (NASDAQ: INOD) represent two different ways to invest in the booming artificial intelligence (AI) market. BigBear.ai develops AI modules for edge networks, while Innodata helps large companies prepare their data for AI applications.
Over the past 12 months, BigBear.ai's stock surged more than 390% as it impressed investors with the stabilization of its business and the rollout of its biometric security services. Innodata's stock rose about 140% as the market's demand for its AI-oriented services soared. Should you still buy either of these high-flying AI stocks today?

The differences between BigBear.ai and Innodata
BigBear.ai's three main AI modules -- Observe, Orient, and Dominate -- ingest data, identify trends, and predict future outcomes, respectively. It installs its modules on edge networks, which receive and process that data before it reaches its clients' origin servers. It also shares that data with bigger AI-driven companies, such as Palantir.
Before BigBear.ai went public by merging with a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) in late 2021, it claimed it could triple its annual revenue from $182 million in 2021 to $550 million in 2024. However, its revenue grew from $146 million in 2021 to only $158 million in 2024, as it grappled with tough competition, macro headwinds, and the bankruptcy of its top customer, Virgin Orbit. To boost its revenue and expand its ecosystem, it acquired the AI vision firm Pangiam last April.
Innodata went public back in 1993, but it didn't attract much attention because it was a small analytics software provider that increased its revenue at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6% from 1994 to 2018. But in 2018, it launched a suite of task-specific microservices that could efficiently prepare large amounts of data for AI applications.
Five of the "Magnificent Seven" companies subsequently hired Innodata to prepare their AI-oriented data, and its annual revenue surged at a CAGR of 20% from 2018 to 2024. Its business boomed because those large tech companies often spend 80% of their time preparing the data for a new AI project and just 20% of that time training the actual algorithm. To speed up that inefficient process, those tech giants outsourced the preparation of that data to Innodata.
Which company could grow faster over the next three years?
Over the next three years, BigBear.ai's growth should be driven by its swelling backlog of government contracts -- which include new digital ID and biometrics services for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) at airports and other ports of entry, a modernization project for the U.S. military's Orion Decision Support Platform (DSP), and new supply chain initiatives. It could also attract more commercial clients as the macro environment warms up again.
During the same period, Innodata's growth should be fueled by the rapid expansion of the generative AI market, which should drive its big tech customers to ramp up their spending on its data preparation services. It will likely attract even more large customers.

BigBear.ai's revenue growth is expected to accelerate in 2025 and 2026, but analysts have not yet set any firm forecasts for 2027. Innodata's revenue growth is expected to decelerate in 2026 and 2027 as it saturates its core customer base of Magnificent Seven customers, and its potential expansion into other markets hasn't been factored into those estimates yet.
BigBear.ai is not yet profitable, but analysts expect it to narrow its net losses through 2026. Innodata turned profitable in 2024, and analysts expect its net income to grow at a CAGR of 16% through 2027 as its pricing power in its niche market improves and economies of scale kick in.
Which stock is a better value right now?
With a market cap of $2.1 billion, BigBear.ai trades at 12 times this year's sales. Innodata, which is valued at $1.6 billion, trades at less than 7 times this year's sales.
BigBear.ai looks a bit pricey if its revenue growth doesn't accelerate in 2027 and beyond. Its growth in the government sector is encouraging, but those contracts can be less predictable than its commercial contracts. It's also still growing at a slower rate than higher-growth AI leaders such as Palantir.
Meanwhile, Innodata appears to be a better value because analysts' longer-term estimates for 2027 may be too conservative. With all that cash coming in from its Magnificent Seven customers, it could still have plenty of ways to expand both organically and inorganically over the next two years. So, while BigBear.ai and Innodata might both benefit from the secular expansion of the AI market, Innodata's stronger growth, higher profits, and lower valuation make it the better buy.

Validea Detailed Fundamental Analysis - BBAI

Key Points
BigBear.ai stock surged 23.5% over the past week despite no major news for the business.
The company's share price has continued to climb thanks to excitement surrounding defense-AI investments.
BigBear.ai's explosive valuation has seen explosive gains lately despite little indication the company's outlook has seen big shifts.
BigBear.ai (NYSE: BBAI) stock closed out this past week's trading with another run of big gains. The software and services company's share price climbed 23.5% from the previous week's market close amid a gain of 0.6% for the S&P 500 index.
BigBear.ai's valuation surged again this past week, as investors continued to place bullish bets on companies with artificial intelligence (AI) tools tailored for the defense industry. The company's share price is now up 101% over the past month and 214% over the past three months.

BigBear.ai stock continues to surge despite no major news
Even in the absence of apparent meaningful developments for the business, BigBear.ai stock has continued to rally. The company's big valuation gains appear to be primarily connected to the defense-AI investment trend that has been hot in the market.
Palantir has been a top defense-AI play and reached a new valuation high in this week's trading, and BigBear.ai stock has often seen valuation moves that correspond with pricing action for the software leader. Some investors are betting that BigBear.ai could emerge as a Palantir-like winner as demand for AI-powered defense software continues to increase.
What's next for BigBear.ai?
The massive valuation run up for BigBear.ai stock appears to be out of step with the company's recent business performance and near-term outlook. Despite demand tailwinds in the AI industry, the company's revenue increased just 5% year over year in the last quarter. Growth is expected to accelerate in the second half of the company's current fiscal year, but management's midpoint target for annual sales growth of roughly 7.5% still raises valuation concerns following recent gains for the stock.
While it's possible that continued acceleration for sales growth and margin improvements will pave the way for BigBear.ai stock to see more explosive gains above its current valuation level, huge valuation gains in the absence of major news suggest that the company is a risky investment right now. Investors will get a closer look at the business on Aug. 11, when the company publishes its next quarterly report.

Pre-Market Most Active for Jul 18, 2025 : BZAI, LCID, SRPT, TSLL, BBAI, QS, ETHA, SQQQ, JOBY, ACHR, BABA, NIO

BigBear.ai (NYSE: BBAI) saw its stock close at $8.22 on Thursday, July 17, marking a significant 15.5% increase. The intraday trading showed notable volatility, ranging between a low of $7.25 and a high of $8.38.
In the context of broader market movements, BigBear.ai's performance outstripped that of key indices. The S&P 500 saw a 0.54% increase, while the Nasdaq Composite rose by 0.74%, indicating that the stock's robust rise was primarily driven by company-specific excitement rather than macroeconomic factors. Among its competitors, Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ: PLTR) and C3.ai (NYSE: AI) recorded more modest gains of 2% and 4.2%, respectively. Despite positive performances from these peer companies, BigBear.ai's 15% climb highlights investor enthusiasm toward its recent strategic partnerships in the United Arab Emirates.
The day's trading volume was approximately 205 million shares, exceeding its 50-day average of 143 million shares and the 200-day average of 96 million shares. This heightened activity suggests increased investor interest, likely spurred by the company's recent advancements and strategic initiatives in defense technology. Overall, BigBear.ai's notable rally reflects growing market confidence in its role within the evolving defense AI landscape, signaling potential for sustained growth.

Stock Market Today: BigBear.ai (BBAI) Rises 15% Amid Continued Investor Interest in Defense AI

Key Points
BigBear.ai stock booked another day of big gains in Thursday's trading.
The double-digit rally occurred despite no major positive news for the business.
BigBear.ai stock has surged as interest in defense AI plays has soared, but the company has a lot of proving to do.
BigBear.ai (NYSE: BBAI) stock saw another day of explosive gains Thursday despite no major business-specific catalysts for the company. Its share price rose 15.2% in the daily session and had been up as much as 17.7% earlier in the day's trading. The S&P 500 closed out the day up 0.5%, and the Nasdaq Composite climbed 0.7% in the session.
With investors betting that macroeconomic and political dynamics will continue to lift the broader market, today was an especially strong day of trading for growth-dependent and otherwise speculative tech stocks. BigBear.ai stock recorded another day of double-digit gains despite no fresh news hitting the scene -- although the stock may have gotten a boost from Palantir climbing to a new valuation high. BigBear.ai stock has frequently seen gains in conjunction with rallies for Palantir this year, but it's not clear that performance between the two companies is necessarily correlated.

Is BigBear.ai stock a buy right now?
After today's gains, BigBear.ai now has a market capitalization of roughly $2.4 billion and trades at approximately 14.2 times this year's expected sales. While that price-to-sales ratio may look relatively small compared to some other companies in the AI software and services space, BigBear.ai's relatively weak margins and midpoint target for sales growth of roughly 7.5% this year suggest that the stock may be too risky to buy right now.
BigBear.ai stock has surged roughly 230% over the last three months despite little in the way of substantive developments on the business front to support the valuation. The company has seen a massive valuation run-up as investors have piled into AI software and service providers with exposure to the defense industry, but BigBear.ai's valuation gains appear to be broadly disconnected from material business developments for the company in recent months.
