MIXED
On Nov 5, Jack Henry & Associates announced that its Chief Financial Officer, Mimi Carsley, would be presenting at several upcoming investor conferences, a statement that did not include any new financial guidance or operational updates. The same day, the company reported fiscal Q1 earnings of $2.28 per diluted share and revenue of $701.5 million, both exceeding consensus estimates, and highlighted accelerated growth in its Payments and Complementary segments. Morgan Stanley, however, cautioned that Jack Henry must demonstrate clearer upside to its medium‑term growth targets, stronger margin expansion, and free‑cash‑flow growth, noting that current performance was solid but the upside potential remained uncertain. Barclays increased its price target for Jack Henry from $185 to $190 on Nov 5, maintaining an overweight rating and signaling confidence in the company’s growth trajectory. UBS also raised its price target from $170 to $185 on the same date, keeping a neutral rating and indicating modest upside potential without a significant shift in fundamentals. These developments collectively illustrate the market’s mixed assessment of Jack Henry’s recent performance and future prospects.

Earnings Summary
In the most recent quarters, Jack Henry posted a steady upward trajectory in both earnings and revenue. Q3 2026 EPS of $1.71 beat the $1.41429 estimate, while revenue of $636.25 million surpassed the $619.13 million forecast, marking a 2.7 % YoY increase. Q4 2026 EPS of $1.5322 exceeded the $1.44 estimate, and revenue of $644.02 million outpaced the $642.05 million estimate by 0.3 %. The company’s Q1 2027 EPS of $2.28 surpassed the $2.0987 estimate, and revenue of $701.55 million beat the $697.05 million estimate by 0.7 %. Across the last four quarters, Jack Henry has consistently outperformed analyst expectations, with EPS beats in all four periods and revenue beats in three. Historically, the firm has maintained a robust YoY growth path, with revenue expanding at double‑digit rates and EPS rising in tandem. The company has repeatedly delivered earnings above consensus, often driven by its Treasury Management and payments segments. Even when revenue estimates were tight, Jack Henry’s actuals have trended higher, underscoring a resilient business model that balances recurring platform fees with transaction‑based growth. Recent news highlights the firm’s continued momentum: on November 4, the company announced a full‑year guidance lift driven by strong customer demand and new Treasury Management contracts, while its inclusion in the ICBA Preferred Service Provider program broadened its reach. Investor interest has also grown, with firms such as Riverwater Partners increasing stakes and Conventum adding a new position, reflecting confidence in Jack Henry’s AI‑enabled cloud migration and digital banking initiatives. Key will be the continued expansion of its digital banking suite and the impact of AI‑driven efficiencies on operating margins.

Reverse DCF

What growth is priced into JKHY?

CHEAP

At today's price, Jack Henry & Associates, Inc. needs to grow free cash flow about -0.6% a year for 3 years, slowing to a long-run rate by year 10, to justify its valuation at a 7.00% cost of capital. Over the last five years its revenue has trended at 7.0% a year, so the market is asking for 7.6 percentage points below its own delivered rate. On that basis JKHY looks priced below what its own growth record supports.

53%

Jack Henry & Associates, Inc. is currently running 43.3% annualised volatility over the last 21 sessions. Measured against JKHY's own 13 years of daily returns rather than a market-wide average, that is the 97th percentile — an extreme by its own standards, against a typical reading of 18.5%.

JKHY is trading -15.9% below its running peak. Across 13 full years on file, its median worst-drawdown-in-a-year was -16.8%, and the deepest was -35.9% in 2026. The current pullback is therefore shallower than what this stock gives back in a typical year, which is context worth having before treating it as a dislocation.

Price sits +15.1% from its 200-day moving average. Against every other day in its history, that gap ranks at the 95th percentile — a wider gap than this stock usually carries. Over the past year JKHY closed higher on 53% of sessions, and it is currently 1 session into a falling streak.

On November specifically: over 13 years of records, JKHY finished the month higher 9 of 13 times, with a median return of +2.7% and an average of +3.0%. Its strongest month historically has been November at +3.0% on average, its weakest September at -3.1%.

Overnight risk is measurable too: JKHY has opened more than 2% away from the prior close in 65 of 3,268 sessions (2.0% of the time), with the largest gaps running +10.4% and -8.9%.

Across the last 4 dated reports on file, JKHY moved an average of 6.1% in the session after earnings, closing higher 2 of those 4 times, with a median move of +1.1% and a largest of +10.8%.

All figures computed from 3,269 daily closes between 2013-11-06 and 2026-11-05, split-adjusted, recomputed daily. Percentiles are against JKHY's own 13-year history, not a peer group or index.
