Shares of Braze (BRZE -0.72%) were up as much as 17.3% this week, according to data from S&P Global Market Intelligence. The marketing software provider that has been promoting its artificial intelligence (AI) services has risen this week, along with the rest of the software sector, which has been beaten down in 2026.
Braze is growing quickly, but shares are still down significantly from when the company went public back in 2021. Does that make the stock a buy today?

Key Data Points
Strong, AI-driven growth
Braze is a software provider for marketers and has recently been adding a bunch of AI tools for its users. These tools help marketing professionals decide where and when to best spend their budgets for clients, leading to a better return on investment. It also has generative image software and predictive analytics to fully serve these marketers.
Financial growth has been solid thanks to these new services. Revenue grew 30% year-over-year last quarter, and is up 323% cumulatively in the last five years.

Is Braze stock a buy?
The strong growth coming from Braze is impressive. However, the company has failed to generate positive net income at any point in the last five years, which is why the stock probably still trades at a price-to-sales ratio (P/S) of just 3.4.
If you think Braze can keep growing sales at this impressive rate and turn the corner to profitability, the software stock is likely a buy right now. It is much cheaper than many AI stocks trading today.
