Warn: Management is running behind on a stated commitment.
Manhattan Associates grows revenue about 7% yearly, hitting $1.15B in 2026. Profit margins stay strong near 25%. Cash from operations rises steadily, supporting growth. AI partnerships boost supply chain software demand.
Profit margin improvement lags, showing limited gains. Cost cuts may signal pressure on growth. Soft guidance risks slowing revenue and earnings growth.
The price sits about 10% below our fair value near $176. Analysts expect about 9% revenue growth, slightly above guidance. Our fair value is below the Street median, reflecting cautious optimism.
Breaks if: No progress or loss of AI partnerships by end of 2026
Breaks if: Cash from operations falls below $75M in next 4 quarters
This is not a price target or investment advice.
A long-form read on the 1–3 year hold thesis. It updates when the weekly evidence changes.
This investment represents a durable compounder with a focus on revenue growth and cash generation. The current thesis state is intact, supported by recent earnings beats, though there are concerns about management's ability to enhance operating income.
The market currently prices MANH at a premium compared to its peers, indicating that expectations are somewhat high. The valuation reflects a justified level, but there is a low fragility tier due to weak execution quality.
Fundamentals are likely to show continued revenue growth, as management has prioritized this area and has made progress. However, the mixed results in operating income and the near-term risk of missing estimates could impact overall performance.
The thesis hinges on several factors, including the potential for the Fed to cut rates, which could benefit MANH and other tech companies. Additionally, the performance of sector leaders like SAP, CRM, and NOW will be crucial for maintaining momentum.
The most important moves since the prior daily snapshot.
Yes, our read has strengthened. The latest earnings beat supports a positive outlook. Additionally, a new partnership with Boscov's enhances revenue growth through improved fulfillment capabilities. There are no current threats to this view.
