Undervalued Stocks: EPAY Bottomline Technologies Are Not Overvalued

May 6, 2020

The article was written by Motek Moyen Research Seeking Alpha’s #1 Writer on Long Ideas and #2 in Technology – Senior Analyst at I Know First.

Summary

Yahoo Finance’s valuation algorithm still rates Bottomline Technologies as Overvalued. This rating is despite the -25.73% 3-month performance of this company’s stock.
Bottomline Technologies stock, EPAY still enjoys a TTM P/E ratio valuation ratio of over 290x. This valuation is in spite of EPAY’s ghastly 1.29% net income margin.
My takeaway is that investors are betting on the future strength of Bottomline. The COVID-19 pandemic taught us all that digital banking is the new normal.
The strict implementation of social distancing, quarantines, and limited bank operations means it is tedious for people and businesses to do traditional banking.
I Know First’s stock-prediction system also gave a bullish one-year forecast for EPAY. I trust the wisdom of I Know First. EPAY deserves a one-year PT of $48.
