Xero Bull See Potential for Stock to Rerate -- Market Talk

Dow Jones04-16 08:52

0052 GMT - Xero's bulls at UBS see several potential catalysts for the stock to rerate despite ongoing worries about AI-driven disruption. Reiterating their buy rating on the stock, analysts Lucy Huang and Ailsa Lei tell clients in a note that the accounting-software provider's fiscal 2027 guidance and any positive news on growth at its Melio payments unit could spark the stock. Xero is expected to issue guidance next month when it reports its fiscal 2026 result. UBS forecasts fiscal 2027 revenue of NZ$3.59 billion and Ebitda of NZ$884 million. The latter is about 2% ahead of consensus. Huang and Lei add that the market is not fully appreciating Xero's defensiveness against the threat of AI or the value in Melio. UBS cuts target price by 27% to A$127.00. Shares are up 5.9% at A$79.56. (stuart.condie@wsj.com)
