<p>Piper Sandler  analyst Brent Bracelin   maintains Freshworks (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FRSH#NASDAQ">FRSH</a>) with a Overweight and raises the price target from $24 to $28.</p>


Piper Sandler Maintains Overweight on Freshworks, Raises Price Target to $28

<p><strong>Needham&nbsp;</strong>analyst Scot Berg reiterated Buy rating on the shares of&nbsp;<strong>Freshworks Inc&nbsp;</strong>(NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/frsh#NASDAQ">FRSH</a>) and&nbsp;<a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/FRSH/analyst-ratings" style="background-image:initial; background-position:initial; background-size:initial; background-repeat:initial; background-attachment:initial; background-origin:initial; background-clip:initial; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; color:#4a6ee0" target="_blank">raised the price target from $25 to $30.</a></p>
<p>The analyst suggests demand for Freshworks&#39; product suite is stable-to-modestly improving, especially at the larger customers who comprise the focus of its GTM strategy.</p>
<p>The analyst notes a major headwind to revenue growth has come from a decline in Net Revenue Retention (NRR) due to the companies expanding teams using Freshworks product less in CY23 than in prior years.</p>
<p>The analyst revealed optimism in the company&rsquo;s ability to meet or exceed intermediate term financial targets detailed at the September Analyst Day, absent the overall economy dipping into a more significant recession than most economists predict.</p>
<p>Freshworks&#39; operating model is quickly maturing, and will lead to at least a 300 basis points expansion in FY24 operating margin, says the analyst.</p>
<p>The new price target reflects higher FY24 profitability and the opportunity to re-accelerate revenue growth.</p>
<p>The analyst raised the FY24 revenue estimate from $695.9 million to $709.4 million and the EPS estimate from $0.28 to $0.35.</p>
<p>The analyst considers FRSH as the top pick in the Enterprise Software universe<strong>&nbsp;</strong>for 2024, based on steady to improving demand trends, predictable NTM margin leverage with a fast-maturing operating model, properly set intermediate-term expectations, and CY24 consensus estimates that appear beatable in an unpredictable macro.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The analyst also added FRSH to the Needham Conviction List.</p>
<p><strong>Price Action:&nbsp;</strong>FRSH shares are trading higher by 0.93% at $23.95&nbsp;on the last check Thursday.</p>

<p><a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a></p>
<p><a href="https://investorplace.com/industries/technology/software/">Software stocks</a> usually trade at steep premiums compared to the broader market. SaaS names in particular often garner nosebleed valuations exceeding 10-times forward sales (or higher), even with ho-hum growth in the low double-digits. Why the frothy multiples? One word: margins. The profit generation potential with these companies tends to trounce most other industries. When software companies demonstrate an ability to convert revenue into earnings efficiently, Wall Street happily pays up for the prospect of future cash flows.</p>



<p>However, not all software stocks fit this pattern. There remain some neglected names yet to be discovered by the Street. Though executing well operationally, their share prices lag &ndash; held down by temporary setbacks or lack of attention. But with time, these software stocks could potentially soar.</p>



<h2>Zuora (ZUO)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/software1600d-300x169.jpg" alt="A man examines a digital screen with different icons for software."><div>Source: Shutterstock</div></div><p>I&rsquo;m quite bullish on <strong>Zuora&rsquo;s</strong> (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/zuo-stock-quote/"><strong>ZUO</strong></a>) prospects. This innovative software company provides subscription management tools that businesses need to launch and scale recurring revenue services. In today&rsquo;s world, subscriptions rule the roost. Hardly any software is sold as a one-time purchase anymore. The subscription model offers companies more predictable revenue streams and higher lifetime value per customer. You don&rsquo;t &ldquo;own&rdquo; software these days.</p>



<p>Zuora sits at the center of this mega-trend, enabling firms to transition from product sales to subscriptions. Its platform handles tasks like billing, accounting, subscription metrics, and revenue recognition automation. The total addressable market for this company is huge.</p>



<p>Zuora still trades at a modest 3-times forward sales. This seems like a disconnect given its <a href="https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/ZUO/earnings/estimates">22% earnings growth projected for fiscal 2025</a> and nearly 30% earnings per share growth for fiscal 2026. Accelerating top-line growth tells a similar story &ndash; 5% revenue expansion this year, then 9% next year, and 17% the year after. With $514 million in cash against only $403 million in debt, the company&rsquo;s balance sheet looks solid too.</p>



<h2>Freshworks (FRSH)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/software1600a-300x169.jpg" alt="10 Small-Cap Stocks to Buy Before They Grow Up"><div>Source: Shutterstock</div></div><p><strong>Freshworks</strong> (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/frsh-stock-quote/"><strong>FRSH</strong></a>) has a large client base, an expanding market, and an India-based workforce which should drive eventual margin expansion. This diversified software maker already serves over 60,000 customers globally.</p>



<p>Many high-flying software companies are still burning cash. On the other hand, Freshworks already sports a pathway to profitability.</p>



<p>The stock has also pulled back to an attractive entry point around $17.80, after peaking near $24.10. I see this as a buying opportunity before the next leg higher. Consensus forecasts call for the company&rsquo;s earnings per share to <a href="https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/FRSH/earnings/estimates">double from 30 cents in 2024 to almost 60 cents</a> in 2026, alongside steady 20% annual revenue growth.</p>



<p>With negligible debt and over $1.2 billion in cash, the balance sheet appears rock-solid as well. This should limit dilution risk going forward. It&rsquo;s reasonable to expect refreshed investor enthusiasm once profits materialize as projected.</p>



<h2>eGain (EGAN)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/ai1600-300x169.jpg" alt="mark stock"><div>Source: Shutterstock</div></div><p>Don&rsquo;t let its small size fool you &ndash; <strong>eGain</strong> (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/egan-stock-quote/"><strong>EGAN</strong></a>) packs an AI-powered punch in customer engagement software. This under-the-radar firm focuses on analytics and digital-first customer service applications.</p>



<p>Despite relatively muted growth estimates, eGain boasts sticky revenues and tremendous cash generation for its size. It utilizes AI tools like AssistGPT to transform customer relations for enterprise clients. The company is also aggressively buying back stock, <a href="https://seekingalpha.com/article/4677086-egan-misunderstood-ai-growth-story-at-a-mouthwatering-valuation">repurchasing $2.5 million last quarter</a> with $11.2 million remaining on its buyback authorization.</p>



<p>With positive free cash flow annually since 2016 and limited dilution of 2.6% per year, eGain has quietly built up an attractive financial profile. A <em>SeekingAlpha</em> analyst &ldquo;Philaretos&rdquo;&lsquo; sees 2026 revenue reaching $112 to $132 million with $19 to $32 million of EBITDA. Even at the low end, eGain currently trades around 5.4-times EV/EBITDA &ndash; quite a modest multiple for a cash-rich, high-margin Software-as-a-Service player.</p>
