This summary was created by AI, based on 20 opinions in the last 12 months.

Open Text (OTEX) faces significant challenges as the company navigates a disruptive AI landscape that is reshaping software pricing models and contract renewals. Experts highlight a recent selloff, with concerns about its growth strategy, predominantly driven by acquisitions that have not yielded substantial success. The stock has experienced technical breakdowns, slipping below key support levels, and the company's management changes add to investor uncertainty. Despite some potential for recovery, many experts suggest exploring higher-quality software companies with better execution and growth prospects. Overall, OTEX is perceived as struggling with organic growth while competing with stronger players in the industry.

Open Text vs CGI? The major difference is that one pays a dividend and one grows by acquisition. For these reasons he prefers OTEX-T for the 1.6% dividend.

CGI vs Open Text? He would like to own both of these. Having some growth in your portfolio is good -- especially if the economy is going to slow. He likes the yield of Open Text. He likes the predictably of earnings with CGI, so slightly favours it.

He uses US tech's. There is nothing negative to say about OTEX-T but there is more compelling value in the US. It holds in very well and trades very well. He would not buy this multiple. The company is well run.

A longtime great performer. They continue to do acquisitions well. He's up 30-40%. Current levels are reasonable. But under the new CEO they are taking on a lot of debt as they aquire, which is a concern. He wants to see more debt repayment. Dividend will continue to rise. Definitely watch this.

A very well managed Canadian software company that grows by acquiring others into its platform. You will get consistent growth as a stream of acquisitions comes along. You get it cheap and it has a solid outlook. There is probably 30% upside in a better market environment.
