Reverse DCF

What growth is priced into SSNC?

CHEAP

At today's price, SS&C Technologies Holdings, Inc. needs to grow free cash flow about -1.6% a year for the next 10 years to justify its valuation at a 7.99% cost of capital. Over its actual history it has compounded free cash flow at 24.5% a year, so the market is asking for 26.1 percentage points below its own delivered rate. On that basis SSNC looks priced below what its own growth record supports.

47%

SS&C Technologies Holdings, Inc. is currently running 20.5% annualised volatility over the last 21 sessions. Measured against SSNC's own 13 years of daily returns rather than a market-wide average, that is the 36th percentile — on the quiet side for this stock, against a typical reading of 23.5%. The distinction matters because a number that looks calm for one stock is turbulent for another, and the absolute figure on its own tells you neither.

SSNC is trading -12.3% below its running peak. Across 12 full years on file, its median worst-drawdown-in-a-year was -21.0%, and the deepest was -48.8% in 2020. 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 +5.7% from its 200-day moving average. Against every other day in its history, that gap ranks at the 47th percentile — close to the gap it normally carries. Over the past year SSNC closed higher on 47% of sessions, and it is currently 3 sessions into a rising streak.

On October specifically: over 13 years of records, SSNC finished the month higher 6 of 13 times, with a median return of -0.0% and an average of +0.8%. Its strongest month historically has been November at +3.7% on average, its weakest September at -2.9%. Seasonality is a weak signal on its own — a decade is a small sample and regimes change — but it is a real distribution rather than a rule of thumb.

Overnight risk is measurable too: SSNC has opened more than 2% away from the prior close in 144 of 3,267 sessions (4.4% of the time), with the largest gaps running +13.1% and -10.3%. For anyone holding through an event, that rate is a better guide to overnight exposure than the intraday range.

All figures computed from 3,268 daily closes between 2013-10-07 and 2026-10-05, split-adjusted, recomputed daily. Percentiles are against SSNC's own 13-year history, not a peer group or index.

SS&C Technologies (SSNC) has broadened its Black Diamond Wealth Solutions platform by adding term life quoting and policy review services to its Annuities & Insurance Marketplace (AIM). The move brings Jackson National Life and Protective Life into the carrier roster, raising the total to seven integrated partners.
