Morgan Stanley has reiterated its Overweight rating and $202.00 price target on NICE Systems Ltd (NASDAQ:NICE), a company that InvestingPro analysis indicates is currently undervalued. With a market cap of $10.8 billion and analyst targets ranging up to $300, the firm cited accelerating AI adoption as a key factor in its assessment of the customer experience software provider. The research note highlighted that NICE achieved $208 million in annual recurring revenue (ARR) from AI in the first quarter of 2025. Morgan Stanley observed inflection points in Digital Interactions and CXone Mpower AI traffic, while noting that voice interactions have maintained stability. The company’s strong financial health score of "GREAT" on InvestingPro and revenue growth of 12.6% support this positive momentum.
NICE’s recently announced Agentic capability was identified as an expansion of monetization potential to middle and back-office workflows. Morgan Stanley indicated that the company sees stronger monetization potential in these areas compared to conversational AI applications. The firm expressed encouragement that NICE reiterated its fiscal year 2025 outlook, though medium-term financial targets were not discussed. Updates on these targets are expected at the company’s Capital Markets Day in October 2025. Morgan Stanley maintained that cloud acceleration remains the key variable for NICE to achieve the firm’s price target.
The analysts expressed continued confidence in the company’s focus and pace of execution in the AI and cloud spaces.
