Arjun Bhatia has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight NICE’s strong financial performance and strategic positioning. The company reported solid second-quarter results, with revenue surpassing previous guidance and cloud revenue aligning with market expectations. This performance was bolstered by a significant increase in CX AI and self-service ARR, which grew impressively year over year and quarter over quarter, indicating robust demand for NICE’s AI-driven solutions.
Moreover, despite some challenges with LiveVox, NICE’s management remains optimistic about maintaining its revenue guidance and has even increased its EPS forecast slightly. The company’s commitment to profitability is evident in its strategy to expand operating margins while balancing investments with growth. Although the stock has seen a recent decline, Bhatia believes that NICE is well-positioned to capitalize on long-term opportunities in AI adoption within contact centers and the ongoing shift towards cloud solutions in the CCaaS market.
In another report released today, TR | OpenAI – 4o also reiterated a Buy rating on the stock with a $143.00 price target.
