NextGen Healthcare Inc (NXGN) Receives a Rating Update from a Top Analyst


Cantor Fitzgerald analyst Steven Halper reiterated a Buy rating on NextGen Healthcare Inc (NXGN) today and set a price target of $23. The company’s shares opened today at $17.65.

Halper observed:

“. We reiterate our Overweight rating on NXGN shares and maintain our price target of $23. We recently met with NXGN management team. We remain confident that some of the issues that came up with its F2Q19 results (reported in late October) were temporary in nature. As a reminder, F2Q19 bookings were about $36 million, representing growth of 39% y/y, which is impressive. However, as deal size increases, implementation timelines expand and short-term revenue is not hitting expectations. The company also experienced higher-than-expected customer attrition. After considering the elevated attrition during the quarter and the company’s expectation that it will remain elevated for some time, we reduced our F20 revenue growth assumption to 5.7% from 7.0%.”

According to TipRanks.com, Halper is a top 25 analyst with an average return of 20.9% and a 69.7% success rate. Halper covers the Services sector, focusing on stocks such as WellCare Health Plans, Tivity Health Inc, and Hms Holdings Corp.
