Kim Bolton Open Text OTEX-T PARTIAL BUY Jul 24, 2024

12-month price target of $48. More appealing, longer runway opportunities elsewhere.

It now has a different strategy and is not acquisition driven any more. Other companies are more attractive for returning capital to shareholders.

Familiar with business. Good at M&A, but has used a lot of debt in business model. Better options like Constellation Software available for investors. Doesn't own shares. 

About 10% left on the upside runway. Better opportunities elsewhere.

It made an acquisition which the market didn't like and the stock has fallen significantly. It is a growth by acquisition company and tends to have bumpy revenue post acquisition. He thinks it is under-priced here and there is more upside, but it is a show-me story.

Promised a lot, and if they can deliver it will be a great investment. That proof is still in the pudding. Doesn't have a strong opinion on whether management is capable of delivering. He agrees that market's lost confidence in its M&A ability. Expectations are quite low, so it would be easy to do well. A solid hold.

Pulled back from earlier this year. Broke downward trend line (a really good sign), now seeing a base and a breakout. Technicals look good, could break higher.

That's a question every company should be asking. It takes a long time for technology to disrupt an industry. OTEX has to keep investing to stay relevant, and AI might be an opportunity. Not particularly high growth, but they chalk up free cashflow. Buys back 10% of shares every year.

Stock's struggled. Earnings flattened out. Likes it, in some good niches. Very cheap. Lots of upside and earnings power if you're patient. Decided to stop the acquisitions and streamline what they have.
