74Software (ENXTPA:74SW): Assessing Valuation After a Strong Year-to-Date Share Price Rally

74Software (74SW) has quietly put up a strong run this year, with the stock gaining nearly 50% year to date, supported by steady revenue expansion and faster growing profits.

See our latest analysis for 74Software.

The recent rally has been driven more by a reappraisal of 74Software’s growth prospects than any single headline, with a 12.82 percent 1 month share price return adding to an already impressive 49.43 percent year to date share price gain and strong multi year total shareholder returns.

With profits now rising far faster than revenues and the shares still trading at a sizable discount to analyst targets and intrinsic value, is 74Software an overlooked bargain, or is the market already baking in years of future growth?
