Axway Software

Simply Wall St Value Rating: ★★★★★☆

Overview: Axway Software SA is an infrastructure software publisher operating in France, the rest of Europe, the Americas, and the Asia Pacific with a market cap of €723.26 million.

Operations: Axway Software SA generates revenue primarily through its Subscription segment, which accounts for €201.19 million, followed by Maintenance at €77.04 million. The company also earns from Services (Excl. Subscription) and License segments, contributing €35.49 million and €8.46 million respectively to the total revenue stream.

Axway Software, a nimble player in the tech space, has shown promising financial metrics. With a price-to-earnings ratio of 20.7x, it stands below the industry average of 28.1x, indicating potential value for investors. The company’s interest payments are well-covered by EBIT at 10.1 times, suggesting robust earnings quality and debt management despite an increase in its debt-to-equity ratio from 12.5% to 24.6% over five years. Recent equity offerings amounting to €130 million might have caused some dilution but also bolster its growth strategy through acquisitions like Sopra Banking Software integration expected to impact revenues positively in the coming months.
