Spark’s Take on TSE:OTEX Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, TSE:OTEX is a Outperform.

Open Text’s overall stock score is driven by strong financial performance and positive earnings call highlights, particularly in cloud revenue growth and improved profit margins. However, technical indicators suggest a bearish trend, and valuation metrics are fair but not compelling. The company’s high leverage and challenges in certain segments, such as customer support and cybersecurity, present risks that temper the overall score.
