What Alarm.com does

Provides the cloud software platform behind smart home and business security, video monitoring and automation, sold via dealers.

Licenses software to service providers, called dealers, who bundle it with their monitoring packages and pass on a subscription; Alarm.com collects per-subscriber fees from them. Hardware such as cameras and thermostats is sold to dealers as well, but the subscription carries the profit.

Products and services

  • Security monitoring/alarm platform (SaaS)
  • Video monitoring/analytics
  • Smart home automation (locks, thermostats)

Customers

  • Security service dealers/installers (channel)
  • End consumers/businesses (via dealers)

Where it sits in the supply chain

  • Information technology
  • Smart home/security software
  • Cloud-connected security & smart home…

What could go right

  • Recurring SaaS revenue growth from installed base
  • Commercial security market expansion

What could go wrong

  • Dealer channel dependence/concentration
  • Competitive smart home platform market

Moat: narrow (distribution, switching costs, installed base). Deep dealer channel relationships and recurring SaaS subscriptions embedded in installed security systems.

Is Alarm.com expensive compared with its peers?
On forward p/e it trades at 22.4× against a peer median of 25.7×, 9th cheapest of 18 in its peer set. For today's price to make sense, revenue must grow about 11% a year for seven years (Req g). Recent delivered growth is +10%, so the hurdle is +1 pp: the price needs faster growth than the company has been delivering — of companies that just grew 25–50% a year, 93.8% slowed down over the next four years.
How has Alarm.com stock performed?
Over six months to 6 Nov 2026 the shares returned +36.6% against -1.0% for the median peer; over one year +36.4%.

How these numbers are made. Returns are close-to-close in local currency. Revenue growth and margins are trailing twelve months. Req g is the revenue growth that today's enterprise value requires for seven years at the company's own cost of capital; Delivered g is what it actually grew; the gap is the hurdle (honest precision about ±8 points, so read the ranking more than the decimal). No fair values, price targets or analyst ratings are shown, by design. Method and validation.
