Sometimes, a discounted stock can present a valuable opportunity. The market has discounted a fair number of stocks over the last few years, and some for good reason. At the same time, share price alone tells you relatively little other than what the broader market seems to think the stock is worth at that given moment in time. A stock can easily be overvalued or undervalued, and it's important to understand the drivers behind the stock's performance before you decide whether it's a good fit for your portfo ...

Core revenues, which included subscription and transaction fees, also rose 16 ...

Bill.com has an enormous addressable market, and its stock looks like a great value right now. Enterprise software was one of the hottest segments of the technology sector in 2021. Capital was cheap thanks to record-low interest rates, and software companies were spending it on marketing and product development to generate surging revenue growth, even if it meant they lost money at the bottom line. But the era of cheap money is over, and most software companies now prioritize profitability. They are slashin ...

i Michael Vi It's often quite fascinating to see how quickly former market darlings can lose their status and become deep value plays, as is the base with BILL Holdings (NYSE:BILL). At its pandemic-era heights, Bill.com commanded revenue multiples north of 20x as its share price soared above $300. Today, however, small business churn and decelerating growth have eroded confidence in this name, which is one of the worst performers in the software sector with nearly a 40% year-to-date decline. The company fel ...

Jennifer Miranda Investment action I recommended a hold rating for Bill.com (NYSE:BILL) when I wrote about it in May, as I was not convinced that the business is turning around, despite the very early positive signs. Based on my current outlook and analysis, I recommend a hold rating. My key update to my thesis is that BILL's near-term outlook (both revenue and adj EBITDA margin) remains poor and uncertain. Until BILL shows evidence that its investments are working, with tangible improvement in various key ...
