This summary was created by AI, based on 22 opinions in the last 12 months.

Open Text (OTEX) is experiencing significant investor skepticism due to various factors, primarily associated with the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on traditional software models. While some analysts see potential value in the company's low price-to-earnings (PE) ratio of 5.2x and a 4% dividend yield, others express concern over the lack of organic growth and the failure of acquisitions to boost operational performance. The stock is currently positioned below important resistance at $35, and many recommendations suggest either waiting for better entry points or looking to invest elsewhere. The recent management changes add to uncertainties about its direction, leading experts to recommend caution with investments in Open Text. Overall, the sentiment remains mixed, reflecting both potential for recovery and significant risks ahead.

(A Top Pick May 07/19, Up 7%) They are great acquirers. Their last acquisition should be 10% accretive, but there are questions about that. But he's not concerned; he's confident based on their track record. Their valuation discount will close when they put up consistent cloud results (which they've been doing) and doing more acquisitions. Buy this int he mid-$50's.

It is the most amazing stock. They reported a no-surprise quarter. They just made an acquisition. It has recovered really nicely since July. It is a good core holding. It is fairly tightly held. (Analysts’ price target is $63.07)

He likes it, but has had a rough time with a proposed takeover of a UK company (https://ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/open-text-weighs-takeover-offer-193049589.html), but many investors bailed on OTEX in reaction. He still likes OTEX's fundamentals.

Sell Fortis and AQN to buy OTEX? AQN is a great utility; they've done a good job growing. He owns Emera in this space. Utilities have done very well until recently when a trade deal looked possible. He'd own OTEX before AQN, because it has generated a higher return on equity historically. Occasionally, OTEX makes a big acquisition to surprise the market in a good way. OTEX is doing more cloud work, which amounts to wider margins.

Great company. Very diverse client base globally. Strategic partnership with Google should drive revenue and accelerate organic growth. So they won't have to rely as much on acquisitions to drive growth. Not a high P/E ratio. Very capable acquirer in a fragmented industry.

That lessens risk.They spend their large cash flow ($6.2 billion in the last 20 years) buying businesses and they do it well.
