Movius Partners With NICE To Integrate MultiLine Solution With NICE's NTR-X Cloud, Compliance Recording And Assurance Solution

Rosenblatt analyst Catharine Trebnick maintained NICE Ltd (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NICE#NASDAQ">NICE</a>) with a Buy rating and lowered the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/NICE/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">price forecast from&nbsp;$200&nbsp;to&nbsp;$180</a> Thursday.
Trebnick lowered her price forecast due to reduced fiscal 2025 and 2026 revenue estimates, citing macroeconomic uncertainty, which could further delay multinational Contact Center as a Service (CCaaS) deployments.
The price target reflects ~3.4 times (from ~4 times) on the analyst&#8217;s revenue estimate of 7% Y/ Y in fiscal 2026.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/04/44648656/five9-leans-into-artificial-intelligence-while-it-cuts-workforce" rel="noreferrer noopener">Five9 Leans Into Artificial Intelligence While It Cuts Workforce</a>
NICE stock is trading at 2.7 times EV/calendar 2026 sales, growing at 7% Y/Y and a slight premium to the CCaaS group average of 2.3 times, growing at 9% Y/Y.
Trebnick&#8217;s valuation is justified based on higher free cash flow assumptions (26% Y/Y versus the peer group of 19%). The analyst has decreased her fiscal 2025 revenue growth assumption to 6% below fiscal 2025 guidance (+7% growth).
Trebnick&#8217;s fiscal 2025 estimate has been revised to $2.91 billion (+6% growth) from $2.93 billion (+7% growth) and below the Street&#8217;s $2.91 billion (+7% growth).
Similarly, she has decreased her fiscal 2026 estimate to $3.12 billion (+7% growth) from $3.22 billion (+10% growth) and below the Street&#8217;s $3.12 billion (+7% growth).
Based on lower revenue, Trebnick&#8217;s adjusted operating income moves slightly lower to $909 million (31% margin), below the current Street estimate ($919 million).
For fiscal 2026, the analyst&#8217;s adjusted operating income is now $1.02 billion ( 32.6% margin), slightly above the Street estimate of $1.01 billion (32.3% margin).
Based on lower sales volume, Trebnick&#8217;s fiscal 2025 adjusted EPS is $12.13 (down from $12.14), below the Street estimate of $12.18.
Looking ahead to fiscal 2026 and lower revenue growth of 7%, the analyst&#8217;s adjusted EPS moves to $13.30 (versus the Street estimate of $13.36).
Trebnick noted that the company benefits from AI adoption in CCaaS and is a share donor from Avaya in the large enterprise segment.
Price Action:&nbsp;NICE stock closed higher by 2.06% at $154.52 on Thursday.

Citigroup Maintains Buy on NICE, Lowers Price Target to $228

NICE's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NICE#NYSE">NICE</a>) short percent of float has risen 21.41% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 2.71 million shares sold short, which is 4.31% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 4.86 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?utm_source=insights&amp;adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>NICE Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1740163526_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for NICE has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing NICE's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, NICE's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 5.82%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?utm_source=insights&amp;adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>
