RBC on OpenText's Preliminary Q3 Revenue

OpenText (OTEX.TO, OTEX) last week pre-announced preliminary third-quarter revenue of US$1.28 billion, effectively in line with RBC/consensus estimates of $1.27 billion.In a note, RBC Capital Markets analyst Paul Treiber, who has a sector-perform rating and US$30.00 price target on the stock, estimates the third-quarter preliminary revenue implies constant-currency organic growth of -0.9%, better than the -1.6% in RBC's model and up from -2.6% in the second quarter."[T]he results suggest OpenText's Q3 was largely stable despite geopolitical disruptions during the quarter. In light of the continued pessimism for software stocks, an in-line quarter with slightly negative organic growth is unlikely to be a material catalyst for the stock. However, with OpenText trading at a deeply discounted valuation of 5.7x EV/EBITDA and 4.8x P/E, the results shouldn't weigh on the shares, in our view."Price: $29.64, Change: $+0.81, Percent Change: +2.81%

Microsoft, Salesforce Recent Sell-Offs Disconnected From Emerging AI Monetization Opportunities, Wedbush Says

Microsoft (MSFT), Salesforce (CRM) and ServiceNow's (NOW) recent sell-offs amid the broader software disposal are disconnected from the AI opportunities over the coming years, with enterprises moving to integrate AI across their tech stacks on a priority, Wedbush said in a note Monday.The brokerage said its tech team has seen a rapid pace of enterprise AI adoption over the past few weeks, as per conversations with multiple customers and partners across the board including throughout Asia, furthering its enterprise software sector AI monetization thesis.Increased AI usage is also lowering the cost and skill required to execute sophisticated cyber attacks, Wedbush said, adding that AI in cybersecurity does not reduce the need for endpoints and their vendors, but multiplies it as more enterprises deploy LLM-powered agents, meaning more run-time monitoring and identity governance.In this context, Wedbush said its favorites included CrowdStrike (CRWD), Palo Alto Networks (PANW), Zscaler (ZS), Check Point Software (CHKP), and Rubrik (RBRK).Price: $378.62, Change: $+7.75, Percent Change: +2.09%

IBM Likely to Report In-Line Q1 Results With Revenue Contribution From Early Confluent Deal Close, BofA Says

IBM (IBM) will likely report in-line Q1 results on April 22, with the early close of the Confluent acquisition likely contributing about $50 million in revenue to the quarter, BofA Securities said in a note Monday.IBM will likely leave its full year 2026 outlook unchanged as it will probably aim to offset incremental dilution with the added quarter of revenue and cost savings, the note said, adding the Confluent deal closed on March 17, one quarter earlier than expected.BofA said it sees 2026 as a "more modest year" for IBM as it integrates Confluent and also as the sector "works through the impact of the AI agent disruption narrative."BofA said its 2026 EPS estimate for IBM is now $11.98, down from $12.20, due to the additional quarter of Confluent dilution as well as a forecast for weaker growth in IBM's consulting business.The investment firm said, however, it is still bullish on IBM's software moat as well as its free cash flow growth potential in the long term.BofA reiterated its buy rating on IBM and lowered the company's price target to $300 from $340.Price: $232.99, Change: $+2.23, Percent Change: +0.96%
