Braze (BRZE): A Promising Player in Marketing Tech or Just Another Risky Bet?

Investors in Braze Inc (Symbol: BRZE) saw new options begin trading today, for the December 2026 expiration. One of the key data points that goes into the price an option buyer is willing to pay, is the time value, so with 494 days until expiration the newly trading contracts represent a possible opportunity for sellers of puts or calls to achieve a higher premium than would be available for the contracts with a closer expiration. At Stock Options Channel, our YieldBoost formula has looked up and down the BRZE options chain for the new December 2026 contracts and identified one put and one call contract of particular interest.
The put contract at the $25.00 strike price has a current bid of $3.00. If an investor was to sell-to-open that put contract, they are committing to purchase the stock at $25.00, but will also collect the premium, putting the cost basis of the shares at $22.00 (before broker commissions). To an investor already interested in purchasing shares of BRZE, that could represent an attractive alternative to paying $25.28/share today.
Because the $25.00 strike represents an approximate 1% discount to the current trading price of the stock (in other words it is out-of-the-money by that percentage), there is also the possibility that the put contract would expire worthless. The current analytical data (including greeks and implied greeks) suggest the current odds of that happening are 67%. Stock Options Channel will track those odds over time to see how they change, publishing a chart of those numbers on our website under the contract detail page for this contract. Should the contract expire worthless, the premium would represent a 12.00% return on the cash commitment, or 8.87% annualized — at Stock Options Channel we call this the YieldBoost.
Below is a chart showing the trailing twelve month trading history for Braze Inc, and highlighting in green where the $25.00 strike is located relative to that history:
Turning to the calls side of the option chain, the call contract at the $27.50 strike price has a current bid of $4.00. If an investor was to purchase shares of BRZE stock at the current price level of $25.28/share, and then sell-to-open that call contract as a "covered call," they are committing to sell the stock at $27.50. Considering the call seller will also collect the premium, that would drive a total return (excluding dividends, if any) of 24.60% if the stock gets called away at the December 2026 expiration (before broker commissions). Of course, a lot of upside could potentially be left on the table if BRZE shares really soar, which is why looking at the trailing twelve month trading history for Braze Inc, as well as studying the business fundamentals becomes important. Below is a chart showing BRZE's trailing twelve month trading history, with the $27.50 strike highlighted in red:
Considering the fact that the $27.50 strike represents an approximate 9% premium to the current trading price of the stock (in other words it is out-of-the-money by that percentage), there is also the possibility that the covered call contract would expire worthless, in which case the investor would keep both their shares of stock and the premium collected. The current analytical data (including greeks and implied greeks) suggest the current odds of that happening are 38%. On our website under the contract detail page for this contract, Stock Options Channel will track those odds over time to see how they change and publish a chart of those numbers (the trading history of the option contract will also be charted). Should the covered call contract expire worthless, the premium would represent a 15.82% boost of extra return to the investor, or 11.69% annualized, which we refer to as the YieldBoost.
The implied volatility in the put contract example is 57%, while the implied volatility in the call contract example is 58%.
Meanwhile, we calculate the actual trailing twelve month volatility (considering the last 249 trading day closing values as well as today's price of $25.28) to be 54%. For more put and call options contract ideas worth looking at, visit StockOptionsChannel.com.

With a focus on real-time data processing, Braze enhances customer interactions and sustains engagement. Its global reach and scalability are vital for maintaining its edge in competitive markets.
Management's recent efforts have centered on improving the platform's features and expanding its AI capabilities.
Quarterly Highlights
In the fiscal fourth quarter, which ended Jan. 31, Braze displayed remarkable financial results, demonstrating its ability to exceed both market and management expectations. Revenue increased 22.5% from the prior-year period to $160.4 million, marking an outperformance of $5.4 million against analysts' consensus estimate. This growth was attributed to a rise in customer numbers and improved operational efficiencies.
Moreover, Braze achieved an adjusted EPS of $0.12, significantly outpacing the expected $0.05, creating a notable positive surprise of 140%. Its non-GAAP net income of $12.3 million also surpassed management's guidance range of $5 million to $6 million.
Meanwhile, its non-GAAP gross margin improved to 69.9%, reflecting better cost management. Free cash flow turned positive at $15.2 million compared to negative $3.5 million a year earlier. However, the company's dollar-based net retention rate fell from 117% to 111%, suggesting it may need to increase its focus on customer satisfaction and retention strategies.
In conjunction with the earnings report, Braze also announced an agreement to acquire OfferFit, a deal that is intended to enhance Braze's AI capabilities and refine its personalization and cross-channel engagement strengths. Additionally, earlier this month, it announced a strategic partnership with Shopify.
Looking Ahead
For its fiscal 2026, Braze is guiding for revenue of between $686 million and $691 million -- up from $593.4 million in fiscal 20205 -- indicating strong confidence in its growth and market expansion. It intends to leverage ongoing AI and technological advancements to maintain its leadership in customer engagement solutions.
Investors should monitor Braze's integration of OfferFit and scrutinize any changes in its retention rates. These factors will be critical to Braze's trajectory and growth strategy.

PubMatic, Inc. (PUBM) Surpasses Q4 Earnings Estimates

Legendary investor Warren Buffett advises to be fearful when others are greedy, and be greedy when others are fearful. One way we can try to measure the level of fear in a given stock is through a technical analysis indicator called the Relative Strength Index, or RSI, which measures momentum on a scale of zero to 100. A stock is considered to be oversold if the RSI reading falls below 30.
In trading on Tuesday, shares of Braze Inc (Symbol: BRZE) entered into oversold territory, hitting an RSI reading of 29.0, after changing hands as low as $36.76 per share. By comparison, the current RSI reading of the S&P 500 ETF (SPY) is 41.6. A bullish investor could look at BRZE's 29.0 RSI reading today as a sign that the recent heavy selling is in the process of exhausting itself, and begin to look for entry point opportunities on the buy side. The chart below shows the one year performance of BRZE shares:
Looking at the chart above, BRZE's low point in its 52 week range is $29.18 per share, with $59.12 as the 52 week high point — that compares with a last trade of $36.86.

Oversold Conditions For Braze (BRZE)

Growth stocks can help to supercharge your investment portfolio and boost your retirement fund. The key, however, is to carefully select the right stocks to own for the long term. Ideally, you will want to own stocks that are displaying consistent increases in revenue and profits and are on the path to continue doing so. They should also have long-term strategies in place to grow the business along with a large total addressable market to allow for a long growth runway.
These attributes are important when filtering out which stocks you wish to buy, but there is another factor at play that will help to nail the decision. Some stocks could see their share prices languish even as their business continues to grow. This phenomenon results from inflated expectations set by investors who were subsequently disappointed. In my opinion, such stocks are prime candidates for accumulation as the share price should eventually follow the upward trajectory of the business.

Net income was not the only metric that grew steadily. The business also generated increasing amounts of free cash flow. From 2021 to 2023, free cash flow nearly quadrupled from $20.9 million to $80.8 million. Over this period, Wingstop also grew its systemwide store count from 1,731 to 2,214. The restaurant chain managed to grow its quarterly dividend from just $0.14 at the beginning of 2021 to $0.22 by 2023, and raised its dividend further to $0.27 last year. Despite this solid performance track record, shares of the company have declined by almost 18% in the past year (as of Feb. 19, 2025).
Wingstop's strong performance has continued into 2024. Revenue jumped 36% year over year to $625.8 million while operating income climbed 47.1% year over year to $165.6 million. Net income surged by nearly 55% year over year to $108.7 million. A total of 349 new restaurants were opened in 2024. Domestic same-store-sales growth registered a 19.9% year-over-year increase, doing better than the 18.3% the previous year.
Management sees good potential for further growth this year. Domestic same-store-sales growth is projected to be in the low-to-mid-single digits and the company intends to increase its number of stores by between 14% to 15%. Back during Wingstop's Investor Day in 2022, management outlined the business's long-term potential to open more than 7,000 restaurants worldwide, with 4,000+ in the U.S. and the remainder in international locations. With such ambitious plans, investors can expect Wingstop to post steady long-term growth in both revenue and profits, as well as increase its dividends along the way.

Like Wingstop, Deckers Outdoor's business is also a solid, cash-flow-generating machine. From fiscal 2022 to 2024, free cash flow improved from $121.3 million to $943.8 million, a massive jump of more than eightfold. Despite this consistent performance, shares of Deckers have risen by a mere 9% in the past 12 months.
The footwear and apparel manufacturer continued to report encouraging financial results for the first nine months of fiscal 2025 (ended Dec 31, 2024). Revenue rose 19% year over year to $3.96 billion while operating income climbed 28.3% to $1 billion. Net income came in at $814.7 million, up nearly 29%. Free cash flow for the period also rose 6% to $1.05 billion.
In particular, the third quarter of the fiscal year also saw record revenue and margins, with the gross margin improving by 1.6 percentage points from 58.7% to 60.3%. The company's UGG and Hoka brands are selling well internationally across many regions and are attracting more customers through their innovative products.
Management provided an upbeat outlook for the full fiscal 2025, with sales expected to rise by around 15% year over year to $4.9 billion. Diluted earnings per share is expected to be in the range of $5.75 to $5.80, with the midpoint representing year-over-year growth of 18.8% compared with Decker's fiscal 2024 earnings per share of $4.86 (adjusted for the 6-for-1 share split in September 2024).
Just last month, Hoka launched its newest running shoe, Bondi 9, which offers both cushioning and support. This latest addition to Deckers performance footwear line should help drive sales for the company and allow it to continue its streak of solid financial performance.
Braze
Braze (NASDAQ: BRZE) operates a cloud-based customer engagement platform that allows marketers to collect data from any source to engage with their target customers. The business has enjoyed strong revenue and gross profit momentum, as shown in the table below.

Gross margin is also improving every year, growing from 67% in fiscal 2022 to 68.7% in fiscal 2024. Braze also generated positive operating cash flow for fiscal 2024, reversing the previous two years of negative operating cash flow. Although free cash flow remained negative for fiscal 2024, the $6.5 million outflow was a sharp improvement compared with the prior fiscal year's $39 million outflow.
Braze continued to demonstrate strong growth for the first nine months of fiscal 2025. Revenue increased by 27% year over year to $433 million with gross profit improving by 26.6% year over year to $299.1 million. Gross margin, however, dipped slightly from 69.3% to 69.1% but was still higher than fiscal 2024's 68.7%. The good news is that Braze generated its first positive free cash flow of $4.4 million, reversing the free cash outflow of $2.9 million in the previous corresponding period.
During the quarter, the business also saw a healthy 24% year-over-year growth in large customers with annual recurring revenue of more than $500,000. In addition, the business boasted a high dollar-based net retention rate of 113%.
Since Braze incorporated artificial intelligence (AI) into its cloud offering with its BrazeAI launch in June 2023, the company has been innovating with new offerings for its customers. For 2025, the business will introduce an AI agent to enable optimization and personalization. With real-time processing capabilities, BrazeAI can help customers to make better and quicker decisions.
Management estimates that its total addressable market will grow to $30 billion by 2028. This large market implies that there are ample opportunities for Braze to further grow its domestic and international footprint to post higher revenue and free cash flow.
