Jake Roberge has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight Vertex’s potential for long-term growth despite current challenges. The company recently adjusted its revenue guidance downward, citing macroeconomic pressures that have led to slower-than-expected entitlements growth and elongated sales cycles. However, Roberge believes that these issues are temporary and that Vertex’s core growth drivers remain strong.
Vertex’s new e-invoicing solution is showing promising results, with a 33% sequential growth in annual recurring revenue, which is helping the company acquire new customers and expand existing relationships. The expansion of e-invoicing requirements in international markets, particularly in large economies like Germany and France, presents a significant growth opportunity for Vertex. Despite the current headwinds, Roberge is confident in Vertex’s ability to meet its 2028 financial targets, which include accelerated revenue growth, making the stock a compelling buy for long-term investors.
In another report released today, Needham also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a $40.00 price target.
