Michael Funk has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors. Even though NICE reported lower-than-expected cloud revenue growth and issued a conservative revenue guidance for 2025, the company has shown potential for improvement. The recently appointed CEO’s guidance was anticipated to be cautious, but there is optimism for cloud growth to accelerate as enterprise deals materialize.
Funk highlights the company’s strategic moves, such as expanding its partner network to reduce deployment times, which could enhance future revenue. Additionally, the promising trends in AI adoption within the enterprise sector may bolster NICE’s growth trajectory. Despite the current conservative estimates, there is a possibility for the company to exceed expectations throughout 2025, justifying the Buy rating.
In another report released today, Barclays also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a $226.00 price target.
NICE’s price has also changed moderately for the past six months – from $178.630 to $153.590, which is a -14.02% drop .
