Appian\u2019s insurance policy will ensure that if the final judgment falls below $500 million after all appeals are exhausted, Appian will receive a payment equal to the difference between the award and $500 million. <\/p>\n

William Blair analyst Jake Roberge reiterated an Outperform rating on Appian stock in early September, when the company announced the insurance policy. Appian \u201ccontinues to execute well, as its market-leading low-code platform delivers,\u201d wrote Roberge in a research report.<\/p>\n
