RBC Capital highlights RingCentral as a leading unified communications as a service provider, pointing to its position in core voice, its expansion into contact center and AI, and its US$2.8b in annual recurring revenue as key supports for an Outperform rating and US$85 target.
Oppenheimer moved its target from US$50 to US$85 and describes RingCentral as a derisked cash generator, with AI related services and fading COVID era headwinds helping its thesis around stronger margin expansion and healthier revenue trends.
Recent commentary from Piper Sandler and Mizuho points to a solid Q2 backdrop, with Piper Sandler also calling out the extended NICE partnership, a reworked Avaya relationship, and a higher annual outlook as positives for execution and cash generation.
Wells Fargo increased its target to US$65 from US$43 but keeps an Equal Weight rating and flags that higher expectations across software as a service and a lack of immediate catalysts can limit near term upside for stocks like RingCentral after earnings.
RBC Capital notes that some investors still focus on AI displacement risk, while Wells Fargo points to tougher comparisons and a higher bar for holding stocks without clear short term drivers, which can keep a lid on how much investors are willing to pay for RingCentral.
