AI Analysis

I look for durable businesses bought at a sensible price. SS&C has the makings of a sticky franchise: its software is embedded in the daily operations of financial and healthcare firms, and switching would be painful. In fiscal Q2 2026, the quarter ended 2026-06-30, revenue was $1.7B, net income $234.8M, and diluted EPS $0.97, compared with revenue $1.5B, net income $180.8M, and EPS $0.72 in fiscal Q2 2025. For FY2025, period ended 2025-12-31, revenue was $6.3B, net income $796.9M, and EPS $3.15. That quarterly improvement is encouraging, but FairStock's Lynch category is SLOW GROWER, based on 5.0% annual profit growth and 6.1% revenue growth over five years. The balance sheet gives me pause: D/E is 1.16, Altman Z is 1.30, and ROCE is only 4.89%, though ROE is 12.62% and Piotroski is 6/9. Free cash flow is a genuine strength at $1.5B trailing, a 7.9% FCF yield. The 52-week range of $61.40 to $89.93 shows the market has already swung widely around these cash flows. At the $81.52 close on 2026-10-13, FairStock's P/E is 23.43, PEG 0.78, EV/EBITDA 11.78, and Graham Number $47.08, implying a negative margin of safety of -73.15%. So the business is cash-generative but not obviously cheap on Graham grounds; I would want either better returns on capital or a lower price before calling it compelling.

In plain English: SS&C Technologies sells software and services that help financial and healthcare companies handle trading, accounting, reporting and record-keeping. The business is profitable and produces a lot of cash, but long-term growth has been slow and it uses a fair amount of debt. At the recent price, the shares look expensive compared with the company's accounting value and moderate growth, even though cash generation is solid.
