New minor risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 75% of American stocks, typically moving 5.0% a week. This is considered a minor risk. Share price volatility indicates the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. It also increases the risk of potential losses in the short term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Minor Risks Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable next year (US$35m net loss next year). Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (5.0% average weekly change). Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (5.5% increase in shares outstanding).

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 7.2% per year over the past 5 years. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are declining over an extended period, then in most cases the share price will decline over time unless the company can turn around its fortunes. A trend of falling earnings can be very difficult to turn around. If the company is well already established it may also be a sign the company has matured and is in decline. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Earnings have declined by 7.2% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risks Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable next year (US$43m net loss next year). Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (4.6% increase in shares outstanding).

I'm on Hold for WKME until management can make a meaningful move toward operating breakeven.
A Quick Take On WalkMe
WalkMe (WKME) went public in June 2021, raising approximately $287 million in gross proceeds from an IPO that priced at $31.00 per share.
The firm enables enterprises to monitor and analyze online customer engagement via its SaaS Digital Adoption Platform.
Until WKME begins to make meaningful progress toward operating breakeven, in the current market environment, I don’t see a lot of upside to the stock.
I’m on Hold for WKME in the near term.
