A2Z Cust2Mate Solutions Corp (NASDAQ: AZ), A Deeply Undervalued Play in Retail Tech Space
A2Z Cust2Mate Solutions Corp, (NASDAQ: AZ) a cutting-edge retail technology company, is poised to redefine the shopping experience with its advanced smart cart technology. Operating in a market that is rapidly transitioning from traditional checkout systems to more sophisticated, data-driven tools, A2Z Cust2Mate finds itself at the forefront of this technological revolution.
However, despite its robust prospects and impressive offerings, the company’s share price remains depressed, largely due to a lack of visibility among investors. As the market becomes more familiar with A2Z’s unique value proposition, there’s potential for a significant re-rating of its stock, which is currently deeply undervalued.
The retail technology sector is undergoing a major shift, with the global market for smart retail systems projected to experience substantial growth in the coming years.
As traditional self-checkout systems face increasing scrutiny due to inefficiencies and security concerns, smart cart technology is emerging as a viable and attractive alternative for retailers.
A2Z Cust2Mate’s smart carts offer a seamless shopping experience that combines real-time item recognition, personalized promotions, and automatic checkout capabilities—positioning the company as a key player in the evolution of the retail industry.
Globally, the demand for smarter retail solutions has been driven by the need for enhanced customer experiences and improved operational efficiencies.
Retailers are investing in technologies that can reduce shrinkage (theft) and optimize in-store experiences. A2Z’s smart carts not only solve these pain points but also provide retailers with valuable data insights that can be leveraged for targeted advertising and better customer engagement.
Peer Valuation
A2Z Cust2Mate is currently trading at a significant discount compared to its peers in the retail technology space. Companies like Standard Cognition and Tracxpoint, which operate in similar sectors, have garnered valuations exceeding $1 billion.
Meanwhile, A2Z’s current market capitalisation stands at around $45 million, a stark contrast that highlights the company’s deep undervaluation. Competitors like Caper, which was acquired by Instacart at an approximate 35x revenue multiple, further emphasize how much upside potential A2Z could have if properly valued.
The primary reason for A2Z Cust2Mate’s undervalued stock price is a lack of visibility and awareness among investors. While the company has secured notable contracts and developed a highly innovative product, its achievements have flown under the radar.
This lack of recognition in the market has led to a disconnect between the company’s intrinsic value and its current share price. Furthermore, the challenges posed by the broader market, such as delays due to geopolitical events and operational hurdles, have weighed on investor sentiment.
However, as A2Z continues to execute on its growth strategy, especially with the upcoming release of its cost-effective third-generation smart carts, visibility is likely to improve. The company’s ability to secure larger, long-term contracts will serve as key catalysts for investor interest, helping to close the valuation gap.
With a peer group that commands significantly higher valuations and a proven track record of securing contracts with major retailers, A2Z presents a compelling investment opportunity. As visibility increases and the company continues to deliver on its promises, there is considerable potential for the stock to re-rate to its true value. At a current price of around $0.86 per share, A2Z offers a significant upside, with a target price of $3.00 reflecting the company’s long-term growth prospects. For investors seeking exposure to innovative retail technology, A2Z Cust2Mate is a stock worth watching.

NASDAQ: AZ | Tap Dancing into the $26.7 billion Self-Service Market by 2028!!
Hate queuing to checkout in supermarkets or hypermarkets?
A2Z Cust2Mate Solutions Corp (NASDAQ: AZ) might be the company you need to add to your watchlist. AZ is a leading global provider of innovative technology solutions, specialising in smart cart platforms – and this is not just any ordinary smart cart.
Let me explain.
AZ’s flagship smart cart product is set to revolutionise the retail self-checkout market. It features in-cart weighing capabilities, making it especially convenient for checking out produce like fruits and vegetables.
Additionally, the smart cart offers navigation features and seamless checkout functionality, all while incorporating robust security measures to prevent theft – a critical concern for retailers.
In simpler terms, imagine walking into a supermarket with one of AZ’s smart carts, doing your shopping, and checking out as you go.
No more queues.
Currently, AZ provides its solutions to Yochananof, Israel’s fourth-largest retail chain, and Carrefour, the largest retailer in France with over 3,500 stores. The company is also making significant inroads into the US market.
Why is the US market such a game-changer for AZ? Let’s take a closer look.
According to Grand View Research, the US self-checkout systems market is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.3%, reaching $26.7 billion by 2028. There are even rumours that AZ is in discussions with a number of leading US retail chains, which will mark as a significant milestone for the company.
How Does AZ Generate Revenue?
AZ operates on a scalable Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model, which allows for easy expansion while also facilitating valuable data collection for future advertising opportunities.
Here's how the revenue streams break down:
Initial Setup Fees. Retailers bear one-third of the cost, with the remaining two-thirds covered by AZ. The setup costs range between $1,000 and $2,000 per smart cart, and AZ expects a payback period of approximately six months.
Subscription Model. Retailers pay a monthly fee ranging from $100 to $200 per cart. Currently, AZ has over 5,000 smart carts deployed, creating a steady stream of recurring revenue.
Additional Services. AZ also offers services related to data and advertising, providing valuable consumer behaviour insights to product owners. This capability could be a game changer, enabling brands to obtain highly accurate data on consumer purchasing patterns.
With this scalable business model and recurring revenue, AZ is well-positioned for future growth.
However, recent volatility in the US market has put downward pressure on AZ’s stock price. Despite this, AZ's strong fundamentals and innovative business model present significant growth potential, making it a compelling investment opportunity.

TEL AVIV, ISRAEL / ACCESSWIRE / November 9, 2023 / A2Z Smart Technologies Corp. ("A2Z" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:AZ)(TSXV:AZ) ($AZ), a global leader in innovative technology solutions, is pleased to announce the unanimous approval of a plan by its Board of Directors to spin off its 80% interest in Advanced Automotive Innovations Inc ("AAI").
As part of the restructuring, AAI is expected to become a publicly traded company, such that all shareholders in A2Z will receive an equivalent pro-rata shareholding in AAI. The Board has authorized the engagement of experienced legal, financial, tax, securities, and other consultants and auditors to oversee the entire restructuring process. The restructuring is subject to receipt of all corporate and shareholder approvals as well as receipt of all regulatory approvals including that of the TSX Venture Exchange. The Company anticipates that the restructuring will be completed in Q2, 2024.
AAI specializes in the automotive safety sector and is currently developing a groundbreaking "Fuel Tank Inertia Capsule System" ("FTICS") designed to prevent fuel combustion in the event of a vehicle collision. AAI holds a patent with the U.S. Department of Commerce for FTICS and is actively working towards the commercialization of a product that can be seamlessly integrated into automobile gasoline tanks.
Gadi Graus, President of A2Z, stated, "We believe that the pioneering and lifesaving "Fuel Tank Inertia Capsule System" being developed by AAI has remarkable potential. This proposed spin-off represents a significant opportunity for AAI to further the development of the system as an independent company, to realize its maximum potential, and to allow A2Z to concentrate its resources more fully on the Cust2mate smart cart solution. We are committed to ensuring that the transition is executed seamlessly and efficiently. We look forward to the exciting developments and value creation that we believe this strategic decision will bring to A2Z and AAI and to enhancing our shareholders' value."
