0848 GMT - Sage Group's organic revenue growth prospects look promising and are likely to continue to be resilient despite a challenging environment, Shore Capital analyst Martin O'Sullivan writes in a research note. The London-listed software company's recurring revenue model and diversified customer base are critical for the business, O'Sullivan says. The U.K. investment group expects the company to deliver a strong first-half performance with a good underlying total revenue growth result, slightly above consensus, and higher earnings before interest and taxes margins. However, interim results are unlikely to provide any upgrade to full-year expectations given the inflation and the challenges associated with accelerating new customer acquisition and net revenue retention via upsells from recent prevailing levels. Shares are down 0.5% at 1,200.00 pence. (najat.kantouar@wsj.com)
