Analyst Michael Infante of Morgan Stanley maintained a Buy rating on Clearwater Analytics Holdings (CWAN – Research Report), retaining the price target of $36.00.
Michael Infante has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that suggest Clearwater Analytics Holdings is well-positioned for future growth. Despite recent underperformance compared to its vertical software peers, Infante views this as a temporary situation driven by tactical rather than fundamental issues, presenting a buying opportunity for investors. The company is expected to maintain its robust revenue growth outlook of approximately 19-20% year-over-year, even when accounting for near-term revenue growth dilution from Enfusion.
Infante highlights that the integration of recent acquisitions, such as Beacon and Bistro, is likely to contribute to margin leverage, which could offset any potential revenue dilution. Additionally, the anticipated clarity on pro-forma financials and updates on integration processes are expected to alleviate investor concerns, reinforcing the potential for continued growth. Overall, Infante’s analysis suggests that Clearwater’s strategic positioning and growth prospects make it a compelling investment opportunity.
