Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Veeva Systems stock:

• 1. KeyCorp analysts commented, "We are raising revenue estimates by $5M in F2018 and nearly $10M in F2019 based on the assumption that (1) Vault growth remains at or above 40%, and (2) Commercial Cloud plus services can sustain growth at or above 10% y/y." (8/25/2017)
• 2. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Veeva Systems outperformed the broader industry in the last three months on the back of its splendid earnings surprise history. Notably, the company has delivered positive earnings surprise in all the past four quarters. Further, the company remains on track with its commercial cloud platform, which registered multiple contracts around the world. Veeva has also many core CRM projects on track with large pharma companies around the globe. The company has strengthened the recurring part of its revenue mix by marking significant growth in subscription revenues in the reported quarter. Moreover, the new launches at the Veeva Vault and the Veeva Coomercial Cloud platforms are encouraging. Estimates have been stable ahead of the company's second quarter earnings release. However, intensifying competition, high operating expenses and a saturating lifesciences market are key concerns." (7/27/2017)
• 3. Bank of America Corporation analysts commented, "greater confidence" that the company is in the early stages of a multi-billion-dollar revenue opportunity with Vault. In fact, the analyst sees Veeva's Vault opportunity in both the large pharmaceutical installed base (which presents an additional $400 to $500 million revenue opportunity) along with life sciences start-ups, which was previously un-addressed.Sills also noted that commercial could also sustain a "health" mid-teens growth rate due to: 1) cross selling of PromoMats, 2) cross-selling CRM add-ons, 3) expansion in the already existing installed base and 4) new customer wins intentionally, especially in Japan and Europe. Finally, the analyst explained that his new $70 price target represents a 42x EV/FCF multiple on his 2018 estimates which is "reasonable" relative to the analyst's estimated three-year FCF compounded annual growth rate of 30 percent, which is likely to be proven conservative. At time of publication, shares of Veeva were up 6.33 percent at $65.65." (5/26/2017)
• 4. Stifel Nicolaus analysts commented, "On February 28th, after the market close, Veeva delivered F4Q17 financial results that came in ahead of consensus across all key metrics. Highlights in the quarter included the two largest Vault deals in the company's history and a top-20 pharma selecting Veeva for a standardization of Veeva CRM across its domestic Japanese operations. Veeva closed the year with 517 total customers (+117 y/y), including 145 clinical customers (+70% y/y) and 100+ quality customers (+80% y/y), a solid improvement in all key functions of pharma organizations. Veeva continues to display solid execution across all areas of the business, evidenced by 19% Commercial Cloud growth and 120% Vault growth in the fiscal year (including the Zinc Ahead acquisition), and its best in class 127% subscription services revenue retention rate. We believe Veeva is tracking ahead of its $1bn revenue run rate target for 2020 within Life Sciences and see additional opportunities for revenue growth through the expansion of certain Vault modules to areas outside of the industry. We maintain our Buy rating and we are raising our price target from $48 to $50 on shares of VEEV." (3/1/2017)
• 5. Needham & Company LLC analysts commented, " VEEV reported sustained business momentum in 4Q with revenue, EPS, and billings easily beating estimates as Vault expands sales impact to new modules and across verticals. New customer metrics accelerated in FY17 over FY16 led by Vault (115 adds vs. 84 in FY16) but CRM also had much higher new customer adds (47 vs. 16 in FY16). VEEV's Vault momentum that extended in 4Q included its two largest deals ever, two large Vault Quality wins with two top 30 global chemical companies, and its first Vault RIM deals with top 20 Pharma customers. We believe these new Vault successes yield incremental confidence that VEEV can sustain a 20% + growth profile for the next two or three years at a minimum and does not include any assumptions for EDC, which can add upside to our growth thesis if successful with initial 2Q18 trials."
