Constellation Software (TSX:CSU) Could Be 24% Below Fair Value After 17% Revenue Growth

Board change and fresh results put Constellation Software in focus

Constellation Software (TSX:CSU) has drawn fresh attention after reporting 17% revenue growth to $3.335b in the second quarter of 2026, alongside continued acquisition activity and a new $1.00 per share dividend declaration.

Constellation Software’s latest move has played out against a choppy backdrop, with the share price up 2.49% on the day to CA$2,827.94 but down 8.05% over 30 days and the 1-year total shareholder return declining 35.51%, despite a 33.51% gain over five years.

In the short term, the weaker 7-day and 90-day share price returns suggest momentum has been fading. At the same time, the fresh 17% revenue lift, ongoing acquisitions and the recent Board change keep the long-term story and risk profile in focus for investors weighing today’s valuation against that mixed return record.
