This summary was created by AI, based on 11 opinions in the last 12 months.

Enghouse Systems (ENGH) has been facing significant challenges in its execution and fundamentals, leaving many experts skeptical about its future. The software sector, particularly for smaller-cap companies, is under strain, with concerns about AI's impact leading to multiple contractions in valuations. While the company has a strong cash position, insights suggest that it has struggled to reinvest for growth, leading to a negative long-term return for shareholders. Although seen as a potential income investment due to its high yield, it is viewed as a value trap by some, especially given its stagnant revenue and aggressive declines. Experts are mixed in their outlook, with some advising caution and preference for larger companies in better growth positions.

TOP PICK
Has held this for a while. A great business that knows how to generate free cashflow. The challenge for them has been that the border has been closed and their due diligence has been slow. Revenue growth should start to grow. As this comes back, investors should start to notice them. (Analysts’ price target is $68.50)
TOP PICK
A software consolidator, generating 90% of revenues outside Canada. Superb managers are buying other software companies and growing cash flow per share. Their last report surprised the street. Has a great platform for growth. 4% cash flow yield is strong. It's down 10% YTD, so attractive to enter now. (Analysts’ price target is $68.50)
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Sep 08/20, Down 8%) Still likes it. Doubled up when it was down in the spring. Acquisition pace ebbs and flows, and the stock price follows. Great ROIC. Lots of free cash. Pandemic and high valuations have slowed pace of acquisitions. Happy to buy if it goes lower.

HOLD
It tends to buy more medium quality assets they can get cheaply. They are good at buying these types of assets and re-positioning them. We have seen some deterioration in their return on invested capital. If you own some, hold it because you won't get hurt by it. The growth rates is similar to its PE so he sees it as fairly valued.
DON'T BUY
Valuation is sky-high, making it vulnerable to the downside. They tripped up a bit on last year's video acquisition. Very acquisitive. Trading at 5-6x revenue, very rich. There may still be downside. Interesting space, but lots of competition. If it got cheap enough, he'd look at it.
BUY

TOP PICK
Most revenues come outside Canada. They've done a fine job consolidating companies over the years. Covid has slowed these deals, so Q1 organic growth was negative. They report this week, and organic growth is expected to remain negative. However, they saw a big bump in videoconferencing sales. Long term, their growth profile is strong. The valuation is near its historic lows and a discount to peers. (Analysts’ price target is $74.25)
COMMENT
And Canada tech outlook We have some robust Canadian technology companies and this will only improve in the future. Lots of exciting things here with a lot of money going into it. He sees growth for 5-10 years. But ENGH is struggling. They have a big cloud-based contact centre business that put up massive 2020 numbers but this is rolling over a little and the stock didn't react well. Their transportation software business has been slow to grow. problems are short term. As the year progresses, organic growth will pick up and their cash should lead to acquisitions and raise the stock. Very confident in management.
WEAK BUY
Pulled back on its recent reporting. Price target of $75.40. Price action has been difficult. Latest acquisition was a great asset during the work from home period.

BUY
Great stock, fantastic story. Growth by acquisition. Savvy dealmakers. Pipeline of deals has been pretty strong, but Covid has created a bottleneck. Still generates tons of cash. Deals should be accretive to the stock price. Good time to add.

BUY
A core holding, the small sibling of Constellation. Likes it for its stable income stream. It was expensive early this year, but is cheaper now after a pullback to a reasonable valuation. You may to pay slightly more for it in the current market.
