The recent cut to Amdocs' full year GAAP EPS guidance has come after a buyback program that retired 5.77% of shares and fresh quarterly guidance, with the stock showing a 9.98% 1 month share price return but a 27.79% decline year to date and a 31.60% drop in 1 year total shareholder return. This suggests short term momentum is improving while longer term returns remain weak.
