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

Open Text (OTEX) has received mixed reviews from experts, reflecting a split sentiment on its current market position. The company is seen as undervalued by some analysts due to its low price-to-earnings ratio and a consistent dividend yield. However, concerns regarding its organic growth, high debt levels, and management issues have led others to classify it as a 'value trap.' The recent performance has been hindered by broader market fears about AI impacting software companies, with ongoing management changes creating uncertainty. While some analysts suggest potential entry points for buying, the overall sentiment conveys caution, with predictions of further instability in the near term as existing competition and market trends shape the future trajectory of Open Text.

TRADE
There is a risk to invest. However, there is a reasonable annual growth for next 12 - 18 months. At this level, this is reasonable attractive.
BUY
Analysts are split between this and Cognos. Prefers this with its international exposure and its broader product line. Not a bad entry point.
BUY
At a good price. Has fallen off because software companies in general have come off and some questions of write-offs. In the midst of a merger.
DON'T BUY
Wonderful product. Like all software companies, they're not selling as many programs as it hoped. Doing a takeover which looks fairly attractive, but tech is not where the market wants to be at this time. Have confidence in their long-term future.
DON'T BUY
Their models for US and Canadian stocks are all defensive. Software sector has had a difficult time. A lot of the analysts are cutting their estimates.
DON'T BUY
It has been benefiting from context management. A little concerned that their acquisitions muddy the water a little and true growth may be hidden.
BUY
(Past top pick June 2, 2004, down 8%) Earnings have better visability. Good opportunities. Cheap.
BUY
A very well-run company. Have been guiding up for the last few quarters. If they fall victim to the rest of the industry's problems they could be vulnerable.
WAIT
Expect they will make their numbers. Some software firms have had to give warnings. Wait to see if they maintain guidance.
DON'T BUY
They just completed an acquisition which increased their balance sheet which he doesn't like. Their model price is $31.
STRONG BUY
A great story. The collaboration market that they are centered on is growing better. A big deployment in their software. Good valuation and good growth.
TOP PICK
(A top pick Feb 12/04. Down 3%.) Still very good opportunities/outlook for it. Ranks in the top 20% of the database. In the last quarter, an earnings surprise of 16% and sales were up 45% and earnings up 53%.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
The uptrend has been pretty strong over the last year, but there is now a loss of momentum which mirrors the NASDAQ. Expect overhead resistance at about $42/43 for the next year.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Reported strong earnings, but stock took a drop. Market is going to be very skittish for the next 3/4 months. Just made a good acquisition which haven't shown up in their numbers yet.
BUY
Just had a bit of weakness which makes it a buying opportunity. Enterprise management space is growing dramatically. High profit margins. Trading at 23 X forward earnings.
