Tenable Holdings (TENB) has quietly slid over the past year, with the stock down about 38% while still growing revenue near 7% and sharply improving its bottom line. That mix sets up an interesting value debate.

That weak 1 year total shareholder return of around negative 38 percent, on top of a roughly 32 percent year to date share price decline, suggests sentiment has been fading even as Tenable talks up steady cyber exposure demand and improving profitability.
If Tenable’s recent slide has you rethinking your tech exposure, it could be a good moment to explore other high growth tech and AI stocks that are capturing stronger momentum and growth expectations.
With revenue still climbing and losses narrowing, yet the share price deeply in the red, is Tenable now a mispriced cybersecurity compounder, or is the market correctly discounting its prospects and already pricing in future growth?
With Tenable shares last closing at $26.40 against a narrative fair value near $37.89, the narrative presents the pullback as a potential opportunity rooted in long term earnings power.
The convergence of IT, cloud, and OT environments requires organizations to obtain holistic risk visibility. Tenable's ability to consolidate multiple asset types (VM, cloud, identity, OT, AI security) in a single platform is resulting in larger deal sizes and growing enterprise adoption, directly impacting top line growth and average selling prices.
Want to see the math behind that confidence? The projected revenue glide path, margin lift, and rich future earnings multiple driving this fair value are anything but conservative.
Result: Fair Value of $37.89 (UNDERVALUED)
