Arjun Bhatia has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors, including NICE’s solid execution in cloud and AI. The company ended the year with double‑digit cloud revenue growth, ahead of expectations, and is guiding to an acceleration in cloud sales in 2026, supported by a growing AI‑driven backlog and rising contribution from CX AI and self‑service offerings.
Additionally, management reaffirmed its medium‑term financial framework and clarified that near‑term investment spending will be front‑loaded, reinforcing confidence in the multiyear growth algorithm. Even after a post‑earnings share price move, NICE trades at reasonable EBITDA and cash flow multiples versus slower‑growing peers, while being well placed to benefit from ongoing cloud migrations and AI adoption in the contact center and broader enterprise market.
According to TipRanks, Bhatia is an analyst with an average return of -6.0% and a 37.22% success rate. Bhatia covers the Technology sector, focusing on stocks such as InterDigital, ServiceNow, and Ooma.
In another report released today, Rosenblatt Securities also reiterated a Buy rating on the stock with a $155.00 price target.
