Canaccord Genuity’s analyst Robert Young reiterates their Buy rating on the shares, with a C$100 price target.

Young noted:

“Kinaxis beat revenue and adj. EBITDA estimates while raising guidance on continued expansion into Europe and international markets – another example of a well-oiled engine adding familiar names to an already impressive suite of customers. Kinaxis featured customer wins including Ipsen and Volvo, highlighting the company’s focus in 1) Europe, and 2) its key Automotive verticals. Much of the beat was due to a strong pro services quarter, but subscription-based performance also topped our estimates.”

Young has an average return of 27.0% when recommending Kinaxis Inc.
