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

Open Text (OTEX) has received a mixed bag of reviews from industry experts. Several commentators highlighted concerns regarding the company's growth prospects, citing a low organic growth rate of 1-2% and significant challenges posed by the rise of AI technologies, which may disrupt traditional software pricing models. Some experts described it as deeply undervalued with a low PE ratio of 5.2x and a 4% dividend yield, arguing that it could be a buying opportunity for long-term investors. However, many stressed the importance of cautious investment, pointing to a broken long-term pattern in its chart and advising against purchasing at current levels. The overall sentiment suggests that while it's a value stock, risks remain about its management, acquisition strategy, and ability to adapt to changing market conditions.

Why is it lagging its Canadian tech peers? They're a little different from Shopify, etc. because they provide AI and cybersecurity to clients. It's up only 2% YTD. The market must be patient with their acquisitions to be accretive, and OTEX is a serial buyer. It drives him crazy that they issue bonds. But growing revenues are possible and they keep increasing their dividend. He owns this plus Shopify and Enghouse.

Open Text vs. Docebo He prefers OTEX, hands-down. OTEX is a former top pick. Likes their strategy and cloud-based business. They're an active acquirer of other businesses. Offers decent organic growth, not as good as Shopify but with a far lower PE than the latter around 15x. A stable cash flow, too.

Allan Tong’s Discover Picks I wrote about this stock recently, so I won't repeat my assessment here. However, I will sum things up by saying that OTEX has increased only 5.3% year-to-date, but has the potential to perform much better once the U.S. contains COVID-19 and gets back on the economic track.

Great Canadian company. Impressive long-term chart. Long-term holders have been well rewarded. Balance sheet is a little leveraged. A liability with the US CCRA is due. Good scale, growth profile, and dividend. Will probably move forward after Covid. Good risk-adjusted return to buy and hold.

Allan Tong’s Discover Picks For growth, this Canadian IT stock deserves a look. It’s been overshadowed by mega-grower, Shopify, and the American tech titans. Year-to-date, OTEX has risen over 4%. Not bad, but tech stock specialist Kim Bolton sees opportunity for it to grow within the red-hot cloud computing space. True, OTEX trades at a PE of 43x, though that’s nothing compared to Shopify and Lightspeed POS. Read Top 4 BNN Stock Picks to Buy this Summer for our full analysis.

A darling in the space and he has been trying to buy it. They are Canada's leader in enterprise information management. It offers its customers great economies of scale and they have many opportunities to extract value in the cloud space. In their latest release they delivered great revenue and cash flow growth. If it ever becomes affordable he will buy and use options to ensure he can hold it for the long term. (Analysts’ price target is $62.00)

(A Top Pick Sep 09/19, Up 8%) They continue to grow by acquisition, adding some AI. It's been a great grower in recent years. Its valuation is low at only 10x operating cash flows with 12-14x earnings. Not a high-flyer like its tech peers, but he still likes it and will hold it.

It is always on their radar and he kicks himself for not buying on the recent sell off. Very much a leader in information management services, especially under the trend in working from home. He had an entry point in the lower $30s, so he will have to wait to buy on weakness. They picked up a few companies that have expanded their cloud margins and cross-selling opportunities.

Canadian tech? OTEX and SHOP would be good Canadian tech companies, along with CSU. All well situated for the cloud and e-commerce. He expects to see a market correction, so would wait for lower pricing.
