Financially, Five9 recorded revenue growth of 17% to USD 278.7 million and adjusted earnings of 78 cents per share in the fourth quarter of 2024. Analysts attributed this positive development to the strong demand for AI solutions and raised their price targets for Five9 shares accordingly.

Despite these successes, Five9 was confronted with demands from activist investor Legion Partners in October 2024, which was seeking cost reductions and a seat on the board. This followed a fall in the share price of around 60% over the course of the year, which increased the pressure on management.
