Why now
Software - Infrastructure · market cap $14.4b. Down 40% from 52-week high of $232.07 — deep drawdown territory. 32 sell-side analysts rate this a Buy with a mean 1-yr target of $147.56 (implying +7% upside).
Moat
Net margin 39% is exceptional — pricing-power territory rare outside premium software, branded staples, and specialty pharma. ROE 37% — top-decile capital efficiency. Either pricing leverage, low capital intensity, or aggressive buybacks; the durability story depends on which. FCF converts 111% of net income — earnings translate cleanly into cash, a sign that working capital and capex are well-disciplined.
Risk
Down 40% from the 52-week high — the market is pricing in something the screen can't see; verify the bear case before sizing up. Software — competitive moat is durable until it isn't; watch net revenue retention, gross margin trends, and any new market entrant with a fundamentally lower price point.
Horizon
1-3 yr $147.56 (32-analyst consensus) — multiple re-rating thesis requires a catalyst. 5 yr $186.29 at ~6% CAGR — dividend + buyback compounding. 10 yr $238.92 if the moat survives secular pressure.
