Inuvo (INUV) Faces Revenue Miss Amid Share Registration

Inuvo, Inc. (NYSE:INUV) is one of the best AI penny stocks to buy right now. On February 6, Inuvo, Inc. (NYSE:INUV) filed a registration statement with the SEC to register up to 5,000,000 shares of common stock. These shares, as per the statement, may be sold by a selling stockholder rather than by the company itself.

Inuvo detailed that the registered shares are issuable upon conversion of a $3,333,333 convertible note. In other words, the stockholder holding that note could convert it into shares and resell those shares under the registration. The convertible note in question converts at $3.10 per share, subject to customary adjustments. There is a floor price of $0.736 per share below which conversion cannot occur. Because the shares are being registered for resale by the selling stockholder, Inuvo will not receive any proceeds from the eventual sales of these shares under this filing.

Separately, on January 30, H.C. Wainwright analyst Scott Buck cut the price target on Inuvo to $6 from $10 and maintained a Buy rating. Buck took the action after Inuvo released the preliminary figures of its Q4 FY2025 earnings.

In the report, revenue came in at $14.0 million, far below the $27.3 million that Wall Street was expecting. Inuvo cited the revenue miss as part of broader headwinds, including an intentional pullback in the company’s Platform product line. This pullback contributed to full-year 2025 revenue of about $86.0 million against a target of $100.0 million, noted the company. Buck noted that these revenue challenges extended into January 2026, and described the preliminary earnings as disappointing.
