OneSpan Inc. — Cyborg Score 7/10

Strong
Cybersecurity and Digital Agreement Automation

Strategic Profile

OneSpan helps organizations build secure, seamless, and trusted digital experiences through two solution portfolios: Cybersecurity and Digital Agreements. The company maintains exceptional profitability with 32% Adjusted EBITDA margins and 24% net margins, while initiating a 3.6% dividend yield and $25 million annual shareholder return program, demonstrating financial discipline while investing in growth through acquisitions like Build38's mobile app protection platform.

Cyborg Score Rationale

Over 80% software revenue expected, improved retention rates in Digital Agreements, and guidance for continued revenue growth in software and services for 2026 demonstrates strong execution on strategic transformation. Current valuation at 8.9x earnings and 7.3x EV/EBITDA appears to undervalue the durability of its $180 million ARR base and 103% net retention rate.
