What We Know

Appen has been publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) under ticker APX since 2015. The company experienced significant growth as demand for AI training data increased, with its stock price reaching highs above AUD $40 in 2020 before declining substantially due to reduced spending from major technology clients. The company's business model relies heavily on large technology companies purchasing training data services, making it sensitive to changes in AI spending patterns. Appen has faced challenges in recent years as some clients reduced outsourcing or brought data preparation in-house, impacting revenue and stock performance.
