Charles Brennan’s rating is based on a combination of factors that highlight the increasing complexity in Softcat’s business model. While the company has shown strong underlying trends and successful conversion of large deals, these positive aspects are overshadowed by emerging challenges. The transition from a straightforward organic growth model to one that involves more intricate dynamics introduces potential risks that could affect future performance.
Moreover, the appearance of exceptional costs and the difficulty in predicting the continuation of large deal conversions add to the uncertainty surrounding the company’s prospects. Despite Softcat being a fundamentally sound business, Brennan believes there are more attractive investment opportunities available elsewhere, prompting the Sell rating.
In another report released on May 28, Kepler Capital also maintained a Sell rating on the stock with a p1,800.00 price target.
