Moderate Capital Returns
How effectively does the company reward shareholders?
Weaker than most covered companies on this measure — and capital returns are researched separately from the Suggested Investment Score.
Why it stands out
- Attractive valuation: the stock reads 77 out of 100 on Valuation Intelligence (Very Attractive) relative to its own history and comparable companies.
What holds it back
- Ownership evidence is incomplete and should not be read as comprehensive.
Long-term view
Long-Term Potential is not available for this company, so no long-term reading is shown.
Ownership view
No disclosed ownership reading is available at the required confidence, so ownership is left blank rather than estimated.
Valuation view
ALARMCOM HOLDINGS INC reads 77 out of 100 on Valuation Intelligence, recorded as Very Attractive. The stock currently trades below most of its own recent valuation history and below comparable companies. This describes the price being paid relative to the company's financials — it is not a forecast and not a fair value. Valuation Intelligence is a research model and contributes nothing to the Suggested Investment Score or the daily ranking.
Capital returns view
ALARMCOM HOLDINGS INC reads 49 out of 100 on Capital Returns Intelligence (Moderate Capital Returns), reflecting a share count rising about 1.6% a year. Direct capital returns are limited because the company continues reinvesting most of its cash. Capital Returns Intelligence is a research model and contributes nothing to the Suggested Investment Score or the daily ranking.
What changed
No meaningful recorded changes in the stored history.
Risk Intelligence is a core model, Long-Term Potential, Fundamental Momentum, Valuation Intelligence and Capital Returns Intelligence are research models, and Ownership Intelligence is supplemental descriptive evidence. Valuation Intelligence and Capital Returns Intelligence each contribute 0% to the Suggested Investment Score. Nothing here is a recommendation.

Valuation is inherently uncertain. A stock that appears inexpensive can continue falling, and a stock that appears expensive can continue rising. Valuation Intelligence provides context about the price investors are paying — it does not predict short-term market movements, and it never produces a fair value, a price target or a buy or sell range.

Dividend Quality

Not Applicable — No Dividend
Dividend reliability
This company currently retains rather than distributes cash through dividends. Capital Returns Intelligence therefore places more emphasis on its other measurable shareholder-return behaviors according to the frozen V1 methodology.

Moderate Capital Returns
Do buybacks actually reduce shares?
The company spends on share repurchases, but much of that activity offsets share issuance rather than materially reducing the share count.

Cash returned versus company value
ALARMCOM HOLDINGS INC reads 49 out of 100 on Capital Returns Intelligence (Moderate Capital Returns), reflecting a share count rising about 1.6% a year. Direct capital returns are limited because the company continues reinvesting most of its cash.
This company currently retains rather than distributes cash through dividends. Capital Returns Intelligence therefore places more emphasis on its other measurable shareholder-return behaviors according to the frozen V1 methodology.
This company spent cash repurchasing stock, but the share count did not fall meaningfully because it also issued shares. Repurchase spending alone did not increase existing shareholders' ownership.
How returned cash was used
Dividends $0.00 · net repurchases $72.15M · total returned $72.15M · 39% of free cash flow

Why higher yield isn't always better
A very high dividend yield may reflect a falling share price or an unsustainable payout. Capital Returns Intelligence emphasizes consistency and sustainability rather than simply rewarding the highest yield.
Why buybacks can be misleading
Announced or gross buyback spending does not always mean shareholders are gaining ownership. Companies can simultaneously issue shares through employee compensation or acquisitions. Suggested Investments therefore considers actual share-count changes alongside repurchase spending.
What these terms mean
- Dividend Yield
- The annual dividend relative to the current share price.
- Payout Ratio
- The share of company earnings used to pay dividends.
- Free Cash Flow Payout
- How much of the company's available cash is being used for dividends.
- Share Repurchases
- When a company buys back its own stock.
- Dilution
- When the number of shares increases, reducing each existing share's percentage ownership of the company.
- Shareholder Yield
- A combined view of dividends and net share repurchases relative to the company's market value.
Capital Returns Intelligence describes how a company returns capital to shareholders. It is not a measure of stock-price performance, it does not predict future returns, and a strong reading is never a recommendation to buy. Dividends and repurchases can be reduced or stopped at any time. Model CAPITAL_RETURNS_INTELLIGENCE_V1, contributing 0% to the Suggested Investment Score.

In the company’s own words
What this company does
Alarm.com is the leading platform for intelligently connected properties. Our cloud-based platform offers an expansive suite of Internet of Things, or IoT, solutions addressing global opportunities in the residential, multi-family, small business, enterprise commercial and energy markets. Alarm.com’s solution suite includes security, video surveillance and video analytics, energy management, access control, electric utility grid management, active shooter detection, water management, personal safety and data-rich emergency response. During 2025, our platforms processed more than 365 billion data points generated by over 170 million connected devices. We believe this scale of subscribers, connected devices and data operations makes us the leader in the connected property market.
Alarm.com has established a global network of trusted service provider partners who distribute our solutions to their customers. Our service provider partners represent a wide range of independent businesses, and are experts at selling, installing and supporting our technology. They depend on the Alarm.com platform for connected property technology and to operate and manage their businesses efficiently.
Alarm.com primarily generates SaaS and license revenue through our service provider partners, who resell our services and pay us monthly fees. Contracts with our service provider partners typically have an initial term of one year, with subsequent renewal terms of one year. Our service provider partners have indicated that they typically have three to five-year service contracts with residential and commercial property owners who use our solutions. We also generate hardware and other revenue, primarily from our service provider partners and distributors. Our hardware sales include connected devices that enable our services, such as video cameras, video recorders, gunshot detection sensors, gateway modules and smart thermostats. We believe our network of service providers and the length of our service relationships with residential and commercial property owners, combined with our robust SaaS platforms and over 20 years of operating experience, contribute to a compelling business model.
We have experienced significant growth since our company's inception in 2000. We generated total revenue of $1.0112 billion, $939.8 million and $881.7 million in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Our SaaS and license revenue was $689.4 million, $631.2 million and $569.2 million in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, representing a compound annual growth rate of 10.1%. We also generated net income attributable to common stockholders of $132.6 million, $124.1 million and $81.0 million in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, as well as non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA of $206.0 million, $176.2 million and $154.0 million in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. See the "Non-GAAP Measures" section of Item 7. "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" for a discussion of the limitations of non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation of non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA from net income, the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP, for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.
