Select Model
Rating:65Neutral
Price Target:CAD 4.50â–²(12.22% Upside)
Action:reiterated
Date:08/17/26

The score is driven primarily by solid underlying profitability and manageable leverage, but is held back by decelerating fundamentals (negative revenue growth, margin/ROE downshift, and sharply weaker free cash flow). Technicals are neutral-to-slightly positive near term but the stock remains below its longer-term trend. Valuation is reasonable rather than compelling, and the latest call reaffirmed full-year targets but highlighted continued near-term pressure and execution/seasonality risk.

Positive Factors
High-margin software modelCMG’s proprietary simulation software supports strong gross and operating margins, indicating meaningful software economics and potential pricing power. This profitability provides resources for product development, acquisitions, and customer support while helping the company remain resilient through normal energy-sector spending cycles.
Negative Factors
Organic recurring revenue is contractingRecurring revenue weakness directly pressures the most durable part of CMG’s business model and indicates that customer renewals, expansions, or underlying demand are not yet fully stable. Even if the company eventually lapses a prior lost contract, sustained organic contraction can reduce visibility and weaken operating leverage.

Computer Modelling Earnings Call Summary

Earnings Call Date:Aug 11, 2026(Q1-2027)|% Change Since:7.22%|Next Earnings Date:Nov 11, 2026
Earnings Call SentimentNeutral

The call presented a mixed but controlled picture: the company faces notable near-term challenges (double-digit organic declines, softer professional services, lower adjusted EBITDA and reduced free cash flow this quarter) yet has several offsetting positives—acquisition contributions, a clarified capital deployment plan including a $20M SIB, active AI and product development, and management's reaffirmed full-year guidance with expectations of sequential improvement in recurring revenue and improved free cash flow for the year. Management emphasized strategy continuity, international opportunity, and confidence in stabilization, but results remain dependent on renewals, seasonality and successful integration of acquisitions.

Positive Updates

Acquisition-driven growth and strategic deployment
Over the past ~2.5 years CMG deployed >$90M completing 4 major acquisitions. Acquisitions contributed +10% to total revenue growth and +9% to recurring revenue this quarter; SeisWare and Rose (closed in fiscal 2026) contributed positively to adjusted EBITDA despite seasonality.

Negative Updates

Organic recurring revenue decline
Organic recurring revenue declined 12% in the quarter (management identified this as the final quarter of lapping a lost contract from last year). Overall recurring revenue was down 3% for the quarter.

Company Guidance

The company guided that Q1 revenue was $27.8M (total revenue down YoY as 10% acquisition growth was more than offset by a 16% organic decline), recurring revenue was down 3% (organic recurring revenue down 12% this quarter while acquisitions added ~9%), adjusted EBITDA and margin declined, and free cash flow fell to $3.5M (free cash flow conversion weakened) with current income tax of $1.5M vs. $0.9M a year ago; looking ahead, management expects organic recurring revenue to increase sequentially in Q2 (Q1 is typically the lightest quarter, Q4 the heaviest), Q2 professional services to be the lowest quarter of the year and adjusted EBITDA to decline both sequentially and YoY in Q2 (driven by lower professional services and higher sales & marketing/commission timing), full-year guidance reaffirms stable organic recurring revenue and no reduction in adjusted EBITDA versus fiscal 2026, free cash flow is expected to improve year-over-year in FY2027, professional services revenue is now expected to decline $6–7M (trending to the higher end), and the company will draw up to $20M on its credit facility to fund a substantial issuer bid while preserving capital for M&A.

Computer Modelling Financial Statement Overview

Summary

Still a profitable, high-margin software business (TTM gross margin ~75.9%, EBIT margin ~20.9%), with manageable leverage (debt-to-equity ~0.55). However, fundamentals have clearly cooled: TTM revenue growth is negative (-1.4%), net margin is down (~12.4%), and free cash flow fell sharply (TTM FCF growth -36.9%) with weaker cash conversion.
