Enterprise software companies Zoom Video Communications Inc (NASDAQ:ZM), Snowflake Inc (NYSE:SNOW), Intuit Inc (NASDAQ:INTU) and Workday Inc (NASDAQ:WDAY) have seen varying success in recent quarters. During short-term volatility, a JPMorgan analyst expressed long-term optimism for software companies to exceed Wall Street estimates.
The Enterprise Software Analyst: JPMorgan analyst Mark Murphy issued Neutral ratings for Zoom and Intuit and Overweight ratings for Snowflake and Workday in a Monday report.
Cautious Optimism: Murphy pointed to decreased hiring by enterprise software companies as evidence that the industry is operating as though it will not see a demand recovery.
“As a result, investors should expect ongoing choppiness, rarely expect upward guidance revisions, and assume that we are seeing a new normal as companies adjust to a higher cost of capital environment,” the analyst said.
However, the report remained optimistic about future growth.
“Net-net, we remain fundamentally bullish on the long-term trajectory for software and the underlying GenAI mega-trends,” Murphy said.
