• 2. Benchmark Co. analysts commented, "MANH's December print wasn't the quarter we were looking for, particularly for a Q4. The company's services business continues to weigh on results, resulting in a top line miss and a meaningfully lower revenue guide for 2017. That said, the company executed quite well where it counts, mainly on license growth, operating margins and cash generation. Management called out 2017 as an investment year and it expects an increasing ' though subtle ' mix shift to a subscription revenue model. While we considered stepping aside with a downgrade, it appears that the services business bottoms in Q1, pointing to a resumption of growth in the second half of the year if management can execute as we expect. We're also not big fans of downgrading after a miss. We'll endure through tomorrow's (likely) pain because we think the stock can grind higher and as the company exploits the disruptive trends in omni-channel commerce and supply chain modernizations. We reiterate our Buy rating, though we are lowering our price target $6 to $65." (2/1/2017)
