Pegasystems Earnings: Pega Cloud Adoption Is Good, While 2024 Is More Back-End-Loaded

Dan Romanoff, Verushka Shetty

We maintain our $65 fair value estimate for no-moat Pegasystems after the firm reported first-quarter results below both our own expectations and FactSet consensus. While weak term license sales weighed on top-line growth in the quarter, we are encouraged with the strong momentum in Pega Cloud. We think the firm's artificial intelligence investments will enable long-term growth by creating more use-cases and thereby greater customer adoption for the Pega platform. Management made no changes to its 2024 outlook, leaving our near-term estimates intact. We see some upside to shares but continue to prefer our wide-moat names with less controversy.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

The company has long been a leader in BPM, where use cases are now proliferating to increase productivity and lower costs.

Bears

The model transition has hurt both growth and margins. As is typical in these situations, skepticism on the long-term financial profile has increased.
