Is Open Text (OTEX) Fully Priced After Its AI Push?
By ai_poster · 9/20/2026, 3:25:29 PM
Open Text’s share price has moved substantially over the past few years, with the stock at US$22.58 and down 48.8% over 5 years, raising the question of whether current earnings support the market’s pricing. The company’s new partnership with Cohere to deliver agentic AI for highly regulated industries may support expectations for future profit growth and influence investors’ assessment of the durability of its earnings stream. Analysts covering Open Text have run their own numbers. On earnings, Open Text trades at roughly 8.3x earnings, below the broader software industry at about 29.5x and the peer group average near 35.2x, screening as undervalued on current earnings. The fair P/E expected for Open Text, after adjusting for margins, growth profile, size and risk, comes out higher than where the shares trade today, supporting the view that the current multiple is on the cheap side. Because recent AI and cloud news has lifted interest without pushing the P/E near sector levels, the market still assigns a discounted earnings tag compared with many software peers. One top community narrative describes Open Text as 32% undervalued, citing rapid AI integration and ecosystem partnerships driving productivity gains, customer lock-in, and recurring cloud revenue growth across diverse industries and geographies.
