ACCESS Newswire Inc.
AI Valuation
AI-generated fair value estimate for this company.
Method: 5-year FCF DCF for a small profitable services company: Year-0 FCF equals TTM FCF of $0.69M (cash $3.0M, debt $1.3M, net cash $1.7M), grown at 10% per year for 5 years (reflecting margin improvement as the company shifts to subscription/ARR pricing, with ARR per customer of $12,718 in Q2 2026) to $1.11M, discounted at a micro-cap-appropriate 12.5% WACC, terminal growth 3%; PV of stage-1 FCFs ($3.23M) plus PV terminal value ($6.68M) = enterprise value $9.91M, plus net cash $1.7M = equity value $11.61M divided by 3.83M shares.
Reasoning: ACCESS Newswire (formerly Issuer Direct) is a small but real, profitable-on-a-cash-flow-basis communications/newswire technology company with flat revenue of $22.47M TTM but improving recurring-revenue mix, so a standard FCF DCF fits; the result is about 39% below the current $4.985 price (TTM P/FCF approximately 27.7x), implying the stock is pricing in a faster margin/FCF ramp than this base case assumes.
