Open Text surges 60% after InvestingPro’s April undervalued call

Six months ago, InvestingPro’s Fair Value models identified a significant opportunity in Open Text Corporation (NASDAQ:OTEX), a leading provider of information management software. The analysis determined that Open Text was substantially undervalued, with shares trading at just $24.69 – far below its intrinsic value. Investors who spotted this signal and acted have since enjoyed a remarkable 60.75% return as the stock climbed to $37.19.

This success story highlights how Fair Value analysis helps investors find better entry points, understand a stock’s true worth, and make more informed decisions by combining multiple valuation methodologies. For investors seeking similar opportunities, the Most undervalued list is updated regularly with stocks showing potential for significant upside.

Open Text Corporation, with a market capitalization of approximately $9.3 billion, specializes in enterprise information management solutions that help organizations secure, manage, and leverage their data. When InvestingPro’s models flagged the company as undervalued in April 2025, it had generated $5.22 billion in revenue and $1.47 billion in EBITDA over the previous year. Despite solid fundamentals and a strong financial health score of 3.3, the stock had been experiencing volatility, including a 12.3% drop in February 2025.

InvestingPro’s Fair Value model estimated that Open Text’s shares were worth $36.18, suggesting a potential upside of 46.54% from the April price of $24.69. The subsequent performance exceeded even these optimistic projections. By late October 2025, the stock had surpassed the Fair Value target, climbing to $37.19 and delivering a 60.75% return in just six months. The stock’s performance was particularly strong in August and September 2025, with monthly gains of 12.4% and 14.0% respectively.

Several developments have validated InvestingPro’s bullish thesis. Open Text beat Q4 2025 estimates, causing the stock to surge. The company has successfully advanced its cloud strategy, reaching a $5.2 billion revenue milestone. It released Cloud Editions 25.4 to enhance AI readiness and expanded its threat detection capabilities through Microsoft integrations. The company also made strategic moves by divesting its non-core eDOCS solution to NetDocuments for $163 million and appointing Steve Rai as the new CFO. Multiple analysts have upgraded the stock, with Scotiabank, National Bank Financial, and RBC Capital all raising their price targets.

InvestingPro’s Fair Value methodology combines multiple approaches to determine a stock’s intrinsic value. The system aggregates various valuation methods, including discounted cash flow models, comparable company analyses, dividend discount models, and analyst consensus targets. By considering both the company’s fundamentals and market trends, the Fair Value model can identify significant mispricings before the broader market recognizes them.
