B. Riley FBR analyst Kevin Liu downgraded American Software from Buy to Neutral after the stock hit his $18 price target.
The Thesis
According to Liu, the company’s transition to the cloud will likely result in the sequential and year-over-year drop in license fees.
“We also model a significant Y/Y increase in services, which we believe limits potential upside on the top line. As for the SaaS transition, we expect another sequential increase in cloud bookings, which should result in cumulative cloud services ACV nearly doubling from the year ago period. In sum, we think 1Q results will exhibit similar trends to recent quarters,” Liu said in a note.

Despite Liu’s optimism in regards to American Software’s long-term projections, he doesn't anticipate estimates rising much higher after the results.
Liu's team of analysts expects total revenues of $28.7 million, up roughly 6 percent year-over-year. In addition, he anticipates cloud services to amount to $14.5 million, consistent with last quarter levels.
“We acknowledge, however, that the combination of seasonality, mounting concerns regarding trade disputes, and our projected services growth rate suggests limited potential for upside in 1Q,” Liu said.
