Historical Context
| Date | Event | Sentiment | Move | Catalyst |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jan 05 | Investor conference | Positive | +3.8% | Announcement of Needham Growth Conference presentation and investor meetings. |
| Nov 11 | Investor conference | Positive | +0.2% | Participation in Raymond James TMT and Consumer Conference with investor meetings. |

Recent history shows mostly positive price responses to favorable corporate or earnings news, but there are instances where clearly positive recognition or conference participation coincided with short-term declines.
Over the last six months, RDVT has highlighted multiple growth and visibility milestones. On Nov 5, 2025, Q3 results showed record revenue of $23.1M and strong profitability, followed by a 4.5% gain. The company expanded investor outreach through conferences on Nov 4, 2025, Nov 11, 2025, and Jan 5, 2026, with mixed share reactions. Recognition on TIME’s America’s Growth Leaders list on Nov 7, 2025 saw a brief pullback. Today’s FOREWARN agreement extends that growth narrative in agent safety solutions.
Regulatory & Risk Context
An effective Form S-3 shelf filed on Nov 19, 2025 allows RDVT to offer up to $150,000,000 of mixed securities in one or more future offerings. A 424B5 prospectus supplement was filed on Nov 26, 2025, indicating at least some usage of this capacity. Specific terms and timing of any additional issuances would be defined in further supplements.
