Tyler has a golden opportunity of expansion and growth in terms of revenue and returns. The company caters to a vast chunk of the market including, state and local bodies, cities and several schools. It focuses on what its customers want and offers customized solutions. Customer retention ratio is high because they offer value to them. According to the report, the retention ratio is 99% which is quite impressive. The company has also been reinvesting in its business and buying back shares.

Talking about Tyler’s valuation, Andvari writes:

“We agree it does have optically high valuation multiples based on current financials. There is also a narrow gap between Andvari’s estimate of fair value and market value. However, these facts mask the opportunity to earn good returns by investing in Tyler. At Andvari, we frequently emphasize that ‘expensive-looking’ stocks aren’t necessarily bad investment opportunities. This is often a function of one’s investment horizon, which, for us, is indisputably long.”

The investor believes that Tyler remains far away from its true and underlying earnings power.

“Margins can expand into the 30% and even 40% range over time. The opportunity for long, steady growth remains large: Tyler only has 10% of a current TAM of $10 billion. Its market share will only go higher as they land and expand with customers that can be with Tyler for life. Andvari is confident Tyler will grow its intrinsic value at low double-digit rates over the long-term and that we as shareholders will consequently earn similar annualized returns.”
