Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Iress’ economic moat, leading market share, and renewed focus on its higher-returning assets should protect margins and enable strong EPS growth over the medium term.

Bears

Iress’ trading and market data business faces the threats of active managers ceding share to passive investments and stockbrokers transitioning toward wealth management business models.

Company Profile

Iress develops software for the financial-services industry, operating in multiple regions and servicing clients ranging from small retail to large institutional businesses. Its core business unit, mainly in Australia, generates most of the company's earnings and free cash flows. Iress expanded into noncore markets through acquisitions, ultimately eroding returns and margins, with free cash flows from the core business invested in the noncore businesses. Its recent strategy includes reprioritizing growth in the core Trading and Market Data and Wealth businesses, and divesting/monetizing noncore assets. We view this renewed focus on its core business as a positive, as it will help maintain Iress' economic moat.
