Stephen Sheldon’s rating is based on AppFolio’s innovative strides in property management software, particularly highlighted during their recent user conference. The introduction of Real-X Performers, which expands their AI capabilities, was a key highlight. These new AI agents for leasing, maintenance, and tenant inquiries are seen as a significant advancement, with positive feedback from customers regarding their potential to enhance operational efficiency.
Moreover, the separate monetization of these AI agents presents a new revenue stream for AppFolio, potentially increasing their average revenue per user (ARPU). The pricing strategy, which could lead to a substantial ARPU uplift, combined with the demand for efficiency solutions among property managers, supports a promising growth outlook. These factors, along with a favorable commercial real estate environment, underpin Sheldon’s Buy rating on the stock.
In another report released yesterday, KeyBanc also upgraded the stock to a Buy with a $285.00 price target.
