Datavault AI ($DVLT) surged more than 13% in pre-market trading on Wednesday, building on a 12.1% gain from the regular session the day before. The stock hit $0.88 in pre-market after closing Tuesday’s session at $0.78.
The two-day run-up comes directly ahead of a major catalyst: the company is set to report its Q4 and full-year 2025 financial results before the market opens on Thursday.
CEO Nathaniel Bradley and CFO Brett Moyer will lead a conference call and live webcast at 8:30 a.m. ET following the release.
Tuesday’s session saw around 45.18 million units traded — about 31% below the average session volume of 65.27 million. The stock opened that day from a prior close of $0.693 and reached an intraday high of $0.7821.
Analyst sentiment on DVLT is divided. Maxim Group upgraded the stock to Buy and lifted its price target from $3.00 to $4.00 back in January. That’s the only Buy on record.
On the other side, Weiss Ratings reaffirmed a Sell rating in late December. The consensus sits at Hold, with an average price target of $4.00.
At its current price around $0.88, the stock trades well below that target — but the path there is far from clear-cut.
The company’s most recent quarterly results show a loss of $0.33 per share on revenue of $2.9 million in Q3 2025. Thursday’s report will be the first look at how the full year closed out.
DVLT carries a market cap of roughly $452 million, a beta of 0.11, and a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.14. Its 50-day moving average is $0.76, while the 200-day sits at $1.19 — the stock is trading below its longer-term average.
One area worth watching: insider activity has been heavily tilted toward selling. Over the last quarter, insiders sold a total of 30.74 million units valued at roughly $31.48 million.
That includes major shareholder Holding Co Scilex, which sold 10.67 million units on January 12 at an average price of $0.88 — totaling $9.39 million. Following that sale, Scilex still held over 219 million units.
CFO Brett Moyer also sold 49,016 units in late December at $0.93 per unit. Insiders now own 7.70% of the company.
On the institutional side, several new positions were opened in Q3. JPMorgan Chase picked up a stake worth around $303,000. Vanguard took a new position valued at approximately $1.29 million. BNP Paribas added a position worth about $416,000. Total institutional ownership stands at just 0.66%.
DVLT’s RSI of 55 suggests moderate upward momentum without being in overbought territory. The stock is currently about 14% above its 52-week low of $0.25, but still well off its 52-week high of $4.10.
Benzinga’s Edge rankings point to short-term upward movement alongside medium and long-term consolidation.
All eyes now turn to Thursday’s earnings release, which will give investors the first full-year view of DVLT’s financial performance.
