Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Allscripts Healthcare Solutions stock:

• 1. Cantor Fitzgerald analysts commented, "2Q17 recap. Non-GAAP revenue was $428 million compared to FactSet consensus of $426 million. With Netsmart now mostly annualized, non-GAAP revenue grew 7.8% y/y. Adjusted EPS was $0.15 (in line with our estimate and consensus) vs. $0.14 a year ago. Bookings were impressive and grew to $407 million." (8/14/2017)
• 2. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Allscripts exited the second quarter on a favorable note, wherein adjusted earnings were in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate, while revenues beat the same. Over the last year, Allscripts has traded below the broader industry in terms of price. A solid guidance for full-year 2017 and a strong long-term outlook are the key highlights at the moment. Allscripts announced its plans to takeover the hospital and health system business from McKesson Corporation, which is expected to close by the fourth quarter. Allscripts’ continued reliance on mergers and acquisition activities presents a substantial integration risk for the company. Furthermore, intensifying market competition is a major dampener for Allscripts. The company also expects a modest increase in operating expenses during the second half of the year to support business growth." (8/9/2017)
• 3. Maxim Group analysts commented, "1Q17 bookings of $286M, up 13.5% y/y, were below our estimate of $302M and consensus of $298M." (5/5/2017)
• 4. Citigroup Inc. analysts commented, "We are upgrading MDRX shares to Buy following its recent analyst day. Allscripts provided targets for 2018 - 2020 revenue growth of 6%-8% and EPS growth of 12%-15%, both of which are ahead of our forecasts but approximately in-line with the Street. Allscripts is beginning to show better results as non-recurring revenue has stabilized, recurring revenue grows faster, and the mix continues to shift to recurring revenue, with non EMR solutions seeing faster growth. We believe that if Allscripts can hit these targets investors could see a 20% return on the shares this year from current levels." (3/24/2017)
• 5. Piper Jaffray Companies analysts commented, "We attended Allscripts' Investor Conference yesterday where management discussed its plan to deliver its FY17 guidance and long term growth targets. We believe 6-8% revenue growth and 12-15% EPS growth are achievable, provided the non-recurring revenue has surpassed its decline, and the Platform as a Service model continues to grow. We are tapering our FY18 EPS estimate to be in line with targets while maintaining our 20x EPS valuation, which brings our PT to $14 from $15. Reiterate Neutral." (3/22/2017)
