ON24, Inc. (ONTF)

In the past six months, ON24's stock was boosted by a Q3 2025 earnings report that exceeded estimates, along with a strategic partnership with LinkedIn and the launch of new AI-powered products. Despite this, analysts maintained a cautious sentiment. Cvent (owned by Blackstone) announced an offer to acquire ON24 for $8.10 per share, a 62% premium over the pre-announcement share price. ON24 experienced a significant decline in short interest, and the stock price increased by 15.67% from January 31, 2025, to January 30, 2026.

ON24's business experiences some demand seasonality, with Q3 tending to be a seasonally softer quarter due to slower new growth bookings. The company expected significantly better ARR performance in Q4 compared to Q3, setting it up for a stronger 2026, suggesting that demand typically picks up in the fourth quarter.
