Veeva Systems Strong on Pipeline & Subscription Revenues

Read MoreHide Full Article

On Sep 5, we issued an updated research report on Pleasanton, CA-based Veeva Systems Inc (VEEV - Free Report) – a global provider of cloud software and data solutions for the life sciences industry. The company currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).

Over the last 7 days, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for full-year 2017 earnings inched up by a penny to 36 cents per share, as most analysts revised their estimates upward.

Notably, after the impressive second-quarter fiscal 2017 results, Veeva Systems is poised on its pipeline that includes an exclusive range of products on its flagship Vault and Commercial cloud platforms. These products include Vault CTMS, Vault PromoMats Dam, CRM Engage Meeting and CRM Engage Webinar.

A glimpse at the second-quarter results reveals strong revenues and adjusted earnings, both of which beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate. Additionally, solid year-over-year subscription revenue growth has exclusively enhanced the recurring part of Veeva Systems’ revenue mix.

Notably, Veeva Systems initiated the sale of Vault Quality Management System (QMS) this June. This has been a key driver for the company as it has already signed multiple deals in this platform.

However, on the flip side, higher operating expenses have been a major dampener for margins. Further, cutthroat competition, sluggish macroeconomic conditions and a saturating life sciences market are likely to dent growth for Veeva Systems.

Stocks to Consider

Some better-ranked stocks in the broader medical space include Masimo Corporation (MASI - Free Report) , Quidel Corp. (QDEL - Free Report) and NuVasive Inc. . Notably, all the three stocks sport a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy).
