Blackbaud Inc. (NASDAQ:BLKB) currently faces some headwinds from its EVERFI product and some modest softness in bookings near term as they have transitioned sales efforts from migrations to focus on net new logos and cross-sells. This has resulted in the midpoint of the 2025 revenue guidance range being approximately 2 percentage points lower than the 2024 growth rate. However, odds are that the aforementioned headwinds are short-lived, as management acknowledges that there has been no significant impact on the company from regulatory or political changes, as BLKB has weathered many such changes over its 40+ year history. To support its long-term growth, the company is investing in innovation, with 6 waves of new product capabilities including AI and analytics embedded in its solutions. The company is moving customers to 3-year contracts with annual price increases, which confirms superior execution and strong relationships with major clients. The company’s ability to grow revenue and EBITDA margin speaks to the power of its 5-point operating plan, which positively impacted EPS and FCF. With that in mind, Blackbaud Inc. (NASDAQ:BLKB) maintains one of the lowest short interests in our universe, which is a bullish signal from a contrarian perspective.
