RBC cuts Enghouse stock rating, lowers target to Cdn$30 from Cdn$38

On Monday, RBC Capital Markets adjusted its stance on Enghouse Systems Ltd. (ENGH:CN) (OTC: EGHSF), downgrading the company’s stock rating from Outperform to Sector Perform. Alongside the downgrade, the firm also reduced the price target for Enghouse shares from Cdn$38.00 to Cdn$30.00.

The revision by RBC Capital Markets was prompted by several factors influencing the software consolidator’s market position. Analysts at RBC highlighted the growing number of software consolidator stocks available in Canada as a key reason for the downgrade. This increased availability is perceived to impact Enghouse’s standing in the market.

Additionally, RBC Capital expressed the expectation that Enghouse’s valuation may persist below that of its peers and its own historical average. This outlook suggests a sustained period where the company’s market valuation might not align with the higher valuations seen in the past or those of similar companies in the sector.

Furthermore, the firm’s analysts anticipate that Enghouse’s fundamentals may not meet expectations for an extended duration. This assessment implies that the company’s core financial health and operational performance could lag behind what investors and analysts have anticipated, potentially affecting its stock performance.

The price target adjustment and rating downgrade reflect RBC Capital Markets’ revised expectations for Enghouse Systems Ltd., signaling a more cautious view of the company’s near-term prospects in the competitive landscape of Canadian software consolidators.
