RZLV: Patented AI tackles e-commerce attrition, scaling fast with major cloud partners and $150M ARR

By Kelly Cloonan

Rezolve AI is shaking up its management, naming its deputy chief executive officer to a dual role leading operations and finance, among a number of other appointments.

Arthur Yao will now take the role of chief operating and financial officer, the commerce solutions company said Wednesday.

Rezolve's former CFO Richard Burchill will now be group finance director. Burchill will continue to play a role in the company's financial performance, reporting and planning, the company said.

Rezolve also appointed Crispin Lowery as chief revenue officer. Lowery will aim to expand Rezolve's enterprise reach and strengthen its partnerships to boost revenue growth, the company said. It also named Roland Gossage as chief growth officer and Salman Ahmed as chief scientist.

The changes aim to accelerate Rezolve's efforts to become a globally scaled, AI-powered commerce platform, the company said.

"Rezolve now has the executive firepower to deliver operational excellence, sustained growth and category-defining innovation," CEO Daniel Wagner said.

The stock fell 11% to $4.16 on Wednesday.

Rezolve AI Ltd pushed aggressively to the upside on Thursday after a senior Cantor Fitzgerald analyst issues a bullish note in favour of the artificial intelligence (AI) company.

In his research report, Yi Fu Lee reiterated his “overweight” rating on RZLV shares and raised his price target to $7.0 – indicating potential upside of another 12% from current levels.

Rezolve specializes in enterprise automation, offering AI-enabled solution that outperform generic large language models (LLMs). RZLV stock is currently trading at more than 5x its price in early April.

Why Cantor Fitzgerald recommends owning RZLV stock

Cantor Fitzgerald derives its optimism on Rezolve AI stock from the company’s strong operational momentum.

The Nasdaq-listed firm generated more than $90 million in annual recurring revenue points to a “productive completion to the first half of 2025” – and warrants owning RZLV shares for the long-term, Lee told clients.

The analyst cited Rezolve’s Mexico Liverpool contract as a major tailwind – which significantly boosted ARR.

In his research note, Lee also praised the firm’s ability to deliver “measurable real value” to clients, outperforming standard artificial intelligence tools.

Despite a revenue miss in Q2, Cantor Fitzgerald sees long-term potential in its Brain Suite platform and its differentiated AI offerings – which it believes will unlock meaningful further upside in Rezolve AI shares over time.

Why Jim Cramer cautions against owning Rezolve AI shares

Famed investor Jim Cramer does not, however, agree with Yi Fu Lee’s constructive view on RZLV shares.

In a recent segment of Mad Money, the former hedge fund manager said “I’m not a fan of Rezolve AI stock here,” adding the company is among the “most promotional” ones he has ever seen.

According to him, investors should tread with caution on Rezolve AI as the hype around it may be outpacing its fundamentals. Cramer also criticised the firm’s marketing and questioned the overall sustainability of its growth narrative.

With allegations from short sellers and ongoing scrutiny of Rezolve’s revenue reporting, Cramer’s skepticism highlights the risks of chasing momentum in a business that’s yet to prove its business model.

His remarks have added fuel to the debate over whether Rezolve AI stock is a buy or a bubble.

How to play RZLV shares at current levels

Beyond Cramer’s caution, there are tangible reasons to remain wary of investing in RZLV shares.

For one, the company’s revenue missed expectations in its fiscal Q2 by an alarming 28%, raising questions about forecasting accuracy and customer retention. Meanwhile, Rezolve remains a non-profitable business in the second quarter.

On the flip side, however, investors could take heart in the fact that Wall Street continues to rate Rezolve AI stock at “buy” with a mean target of $9.50 suggesting potential upside of another 50% from here.

In conclusion, Rezolve shares may be a speculative buy for investors with a particularly high risk tolerance – but it’s not one suitable for seasoned investors seeking stability and earnings visibility.
