David Hynes has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors impacting Veeva Systems. Despite the company’s impressive financial performance, including a notable increase in revenue and operating margins, there are underlying concerns in its core CRM market. The recent loss of two major CRM customers to Salesforce has raised questions about Veeva’s competitive positioning and could affect investor sentiment.
Furthermore, while Veeva’s Crossix product line is performing well and contributing significantly to revenue growth, the sustainability of these gains remains uncertain. The stock’s current valuation, at 28 times EV/FCF, is considered high for a business growing at a moderate pace with near-peak margins. These elements suggest a cautious approach, prompting Hynes to maintain a Hold rating and a $270 price target, as he awaits further developments in Veeva’s CRM migration strategy.
In another report released today, TD Cowen also maintained a Hold rating on the stock with a $284.00 price target.
