Rosenblatt analyst Catharine Trebnick maintained NICE Ltd (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NICE#NASDAQ">NICE</a>) with a Buy rating and lowered the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/NICE/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">price forecast from&nbsp;$200&nbsp;to&nbsp;$180</a> Thursday.
Trebnick lowered her price forecast due to reduced fiscal 2025 and 2026 revenue estimates, citing macroeconomic uncertainty, which could further delay multinational Contact Center as a Service (CCaaS) deployments.
The price target reflects ~3.4 times (from ~4 times) on the analyst&#8217;s revenue estimate of 7% Y/ Y in fiscal 2026.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/04/44648656/five9-leans-into-artificial-intelligence-while-it-cuts-workforce" rel="noreferrer noopener">Five9 Leans Into Artificial Intelligence While It Cuts Workforce</a>
NICE stock is trading at 2.7 times EV/calendar 2026 sales, growing at 7% Y/Y and a slight premium to the CCaaS group average of 2.3 times, growing at 9% Y/Y.
Trebnick&#8217;s valuation is justified based on higher free cash flow assumptions (26% Y/Y versus the peer group of 19%). The analyst has decreased her fiscal 2025 revenue growth assumption to 6% below fiscal 2025 guidance (+7% growth).
Trebnick&#8217;s fiscal 2025 estimate has been revised to $2.91 billion (+6% growth) from $2.93 billion (+7% growth) and below the Street&#8217;s $2.91 billion (+7% growth).
Similarly, she has decreased her fiscal 2026 estimate to $3.12 billion (+7% growth) from $3.22 billion (+10% growth) and below the Street&#8217;s $3.12 billion (+7% growth).
Based on lower revenue, Trebnick&#8217;s adjusted operating income moves slightly lower to $909 million (31% margin), below the current Street estimate ($919 million).
For fiscal 2026, the analyst&#8217;s adjusted operating income is now $1.02 billion ( 32.6% margin), slightly above the Street estimate of $1.01 billion (32.3% margin).
Based on lower sales volume, Trebnick&#8217;s fiscal 2025 adjusted EPS is $12.13 (down from $12.14), below the Street estimate of $12.18.
Looking ahead to fiscal 2026 and lower revenue growth of 7%, the analyst&#8217;s adjusted EPS moves to $13.30 (versus the Street estimate of $13.36).
Trebnick noted that the company benefits from AI adoption in CCaaS and is a share donor from Avaya in the large enterprise segment.
Price Action:&nbsp;NICE stock closed higher by 2.06% at $154.52 on Thursday.
