New York, May 30, 2026, 18:03 (EDT)
- AudioCodes finished Friday at $9.84, rising 1.34% for the session and about 7.9% above last Friday’s close.
- Nasdaq remains closed for the weekend. Its standard cash session is open Monday to Friday, 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Eastern.
- Next up: U.S. jobs data hits June 5, putting the broader market in focus. Traders want to see if the tech rally still has momentum to lift smaller software and communications stocks.
AudioCodes Ltd. finished the week strong, with shares jumping to $9.84 on Friday. The Nasdaq-listed enterprise voice and VoiceAI company saw its stock up 1.34% Friday, gaining about 7.9% since May 22 when shares closed at $9.12. That puts AudioCodes back near levels from before its early-May earnings slide.
The step happened as U.S. markets were closed for the weekend. Nasdaq stocks trade Monday through Friday, 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. ET. So this is a weekend stock update, not a live market reaction. Investors are looking at what happened over the last four sessions and waiting for Nasdaq to open on Monday.
Why it matters now: AudioCodes bounced as U.S. stocks closed the week higher, with the Nasdaq Composite up 2.4% and the S&P 500 logging its ninth consecutive weekly advance. A broad risk-on trade can move names like AudioCodes, a small tech supplier, even if there is no fresh company news.
AudioCodes hasn’t posted any new financial press releases in the past two sessions on its financial-news page. The most recent is still the first-quarter report from May 5. That suggests the recent move in the stock is more about a re-evaluation of May’s results, new AI talk, and broader tech action, not a new company filing.
AudioCodes said Q1 revenue was $62.1 million, a 2.9% year-on-year increase. Services revenue climbed 4.3% to $34.0 million. GAAP net income dropped to $2.0 million, or 7 cents per diluted share, down from $4.0 million, or 13 cents, a year ago.
The company posted $12.8 million in operating cash flow and repurchased 1.74 million shares for $13.7 million in the quarter. Non-GAAP net income, which excludes stock-based comp and amortization, was $3.8 million, or 14 cents per diluted share.
AudioCodes CEO Shabtai Adlersberg said the company saw “important progress” as it moves to an “AI-driven hybrid cloud software and services organization.” He also pointed to “continued strong positive operational cash flow.” Investors keep an eye on those comments, since the stock still trades as if markets want proof that AI voice products can drive new growth without cutting into margins.
On the earnings call, CFO Niran Baruch said the company kept its 2026 forecast for revenue at $247 million to $255 million and non-GAAP diluted EPS of 60 cents to 75 cents. Management said annual recurring revenue, or ARR, was $80 million from its Live managed-services and conversational-AI businesses.
Gartner’s Enterprise SBC category compares AudioCodes’ Mediant with Cisco’s CUBE and Ribbon Communications’ Sonus products. The SBC, or session border controller, is a key piece for handling and managing voice and video traffic on internet networks.
AudioCodes lists customers in cloud communications and contact-center stacks including Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Cisco Webex, and Genesys Cloud. Its investor materials and call comments show it competes for spending in a busy part of the IT budget. Buyers may pick AudioCodes for voice connectivity and security, but those decisions often overlap with bigger platform selections.
The catch: AudioCodes’ gains could reverse if macro troubles return or if AI growth doesn’t cover weaker profits. The company’s SEC filings flag risks including how markets receive new products, tough pricing, the speed of AI change and possible impacts from hostilities near Israel.
Jobs data in focus as markets look to next week. The Bureau of Labor Statistics will post the May U.S. employment report June 5 at 8:30 a.m. ET, and Reuters said investors are watching jobs numbers for what they might signal on rates, yield moves and stocks. For AudioCodes, the next direction could ride on Nasdaq momentum instead of just the company’s AI angle.
