What the numbers say
CleaRank Financial AI's reading of POET's valuation, growth and risks.
POET Technologies Inc. (POET) cannot be valued on a P/E basis, since that figure is not meaningful: the company lost money over the last 12 months. Its price-to-sales ratio of 548.59 is 7,118.3% above the sector median of 7.6. Market capitalisation stands at $939.7M.
POET is still unprofitable, posting a net margin of -4.00% and an operating margin of -3.00%. Its return on equity of -16.89% sits below the sector median of 13.4%.

The share price climbed 7.52% in the first session after the report.
Over its last 7 reports, POET topped the estimate 1 times, yet the stock fell in the first session after that beat. Earlier, the stock fell 7.61% after the August 11, 2025 report, a miss of 0.00%.
On a typical day the price of POET shifts by 4.26%, the 30-day standard deviation of its daily returns. Until the price regains its moving averages, the trend works against holders. The price is 73.91% below its 52-week high of $20.81.

CleaRank AI analysis of POET
The score, the reasoning behind it, and what could move the price next.
POET is trading in a downtrend. At $5.43, the stock sits 29.85% below its 50-day average of $7.74 and 34.98% below its 200-day average of $8.35. Near the bottom of its 52-week range, the price is 40.31% above the low of $3.87 and 73.91% below the high of $20.81. The 50-day average is 7.31% below the 200-day average, which shows the shorter trend is weaker than the longer one.
POET's 14-day RSI sits at 26.8, which places the stock in oversold territory, and its MACD line is negative. Performance agrees with that picture in every window shown: over the past three months the price is down 26.52%, over the past six months it is down 25.21%, and over the past year it has fallen 28.17%.
Earnings miss ›
The August 13, 2026 report missed the EPS estimate by 42.86%, and the share price rose 7.52% in the first session after it.
Source: Earnings report, August 13, 2026
No risks flagged.
- Two levels matter most right now: the 20-day EMA, which sits at $6.95 above the price, and the 52-week low at $3.87 below it.
- A 14-day RSI of 26.8 places POET in oversold territory, and the MACD line is negative. Readings above 70 or below 30 point to stretched momentum.
- Following the August 13, 2026 report, the share price gained 7.52% in the first session, while POET has beaten estimates in 1 of the last 7 reports.
POET is trading beneath both its 50-day ($7.74) and 200-day ($8.35) averages, and that placement is why the trend reads as down. A recovery would begin with a move back above the 50-day. The first level above the current price is the 20-day EMA, at $6.95.
The next level below the price is the 52-week low at $3.87. With the RSI under the oversold line, momentum looks exhausted; a move back above that line would be an early hint of stabilising.
