Arjun Bhatia has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors, primarily focusing on Five9’s strong performance in the enterprise AI segment. Despite a mixed quarter where revenue growth met expectations but future guidance fell short, the company demonstrated robust traction in its enterprise AI offerings. This segment saw a notable 41% increase in revenue and an impressive 80% rise in bookings year-over-year, indicating a positive trend in a burgeoning market.
While the commercial business experienced a downturn, attributed to a strategic shift in focus towards enterprise clients, Bhatia anticipates this segment’s challenges to be temporary. The valuation of Five9’s stock is considered attractive, trading at a discount compared to its software peers. This, combined with the potential for a significant refresh cycle in the contact center space, underpins Bhatia’s optimistic outlook and Buy rating for Five9.
Based on the recent corporate insider activity of 54 insiders, corporate insider sentiment is negative on the stock. This means that over the past quarter there has been an increase of insiders selling their shares of FIVN in relation to earlier this year.
