Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Pegasystems stock:

• 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Pegasystems Inc. is a leading provider of Customer Relationship Management software that enables transaction-intensive organizations to manage a broad array of customer interactions. Their software enables organizations to deliver high-quality, consistent customer service across today's preferred interaction channels, from the traditional call center environment to Internet self-service. The company's customers represent a wide range of industries, including banking and financial services, insurance, healthcare management, and telecommunications. " (7/20/2017)
• 2. Wedbush analysts commented, "PEGA appears to be sustaining its growth at a robust 15%+ rate, although its market traction is obscured by a mix shift to recurring revenue from term licenses and cloud contracts. The company's impressive 4Q sales performance is apparent from bookings metrics and supporting data, but is belied by poor headline results. Given the company's high retention rates (we estimate in the mid-to-high 90% range) and about a 4-year break-even for recurring vs. perpetual sales, we view PEGA's mix shift to recurring as highly accretive longerterm. We like PEGA's combination of high-teens growth, margin expansion potential, and valuation (shares are trading at 3.6x EV/ FY17E revenue)." (2/24/2017)
