Q: Hi folks, loved the report on DOCCKS with stats...just wondering how OTEX/t got added as you show 1 year Rev E at -8%, & 1 year EPS E is -12%....been a choppy 2024 & few years for Open Text, with regularly missing Q estimates....what did 5i like about Otex to include it in Canada's version of "Mag 7"....thanks, jb

Q: As a follow up to my previous question on OTEX, I would also ask that you comment on analysts downgrades related to OTEX moving towards organic growth and away from growth by acquisition. Isn’t this simply a function of its low stock price relative to earnings and cash flow? If a growth-by acquisition company like CSU bought OTEX then it would be immediately accretive to earnings because CSU trading at a high PE multiple. The same analysts would applaud CSU for its ability to grow by acquisition and call the stock a buy. I am not saying that CSU is a bad company, far from it, but I am wondering if analysts would better serve investors by focusing more on the organic growth of a company and not on what it might acquire in the future.

Q: By my calculations, OTEX is trading at 8X forward earnings and 10% FCF yield. At current price it has a 3.5% dividend yield. According to TD Cowen's analysis the stock could see a 33% return over the next 12 months if it meets the low end of its forecast. So why are all the buy side analysts downgrading the stock or maintaining their hold rating? Isn’t it time to buy when there's blood on the street and you feel sick in your stomach? Has anything changed in its business fundamentals?
