Envestnet (ENV) Rides on Recurring Revenue Strength, Debt Ails
Read MoreHide Full Article
Envestnet, Inc. (ENV - Free Report) is currently benefiting from a strong asset-based and subscription-based recurring-revenue generation capacity.
The company recently reported third-quarter 2021 adjusted earnings per share of 61 cents that outpaced the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 3.4% but declined 15.3% year over year. Revenues of $303.1 million surpassed the consensus mark by 0.7% and climbed 20% year over year.
Envestnet’s shares have gained 25.7% over the past six months against 19.8% decline of the industry it belongs to.
Envestnet’s business model ensures solid asset-based and subscription-based recurring-revenue generation capacity. The company provides asset-based and subscription-based services on a business-to-business-to-consumer basis to financial services clients. These clients offer solutions based on Envestnet’s platform to their end users. On a business-to-business basis, the company delivers an open platform to customers and third-party developers through an open API framework. Notably, asset-based recurring revenues of $184 million increased 34% and subscription-based recurring revenues of $113.6 million were up 5% in the third quarter of 2021.
The company’s technology-enabled services are expected to register handsome growth as trends such as increasing demand for personalized wealth management services and cost-effective guided advice are creating significant market opportunities.
Envestnet continues to focus on technology development to improve operational efficiency, increase market competitiveness, address regulatory demands and cater to client-driven requests for new capabilities. The company’s technology design facilitates significant scalability.
