Are margins and cash flow holding steady?

Fundamentals

For 2025 (reported in USD), SS&C generated revenue of about USD 6.27 billion, with EBIT of roughly USD 1.44 billion and net income of about USD 799 million. Revenue increased 6.6% versus the prior year, alongside a TTM margin profile that includes 48.03% gross margin and 23.01% operating margin, translating into a 12.65% net profit margin.

Cash generation, using the provided proxy, was about USD 1.88 billion, supported by USD 704 million of depreciation and amortization against capital spending of roughly USD 81 million. Cash on hand was about USD 462 million and total debt was USD 50 million at period end.

Is the market discounting fair value potential?

DCF / Multiples

At USD 68.06, the share price sits below the DCF-derived fair value range under the weaker-to-stronger set of outcomes used in the model. The market’s headline pricing also corresponds to about 20.23x earnings and 10.69x EV/EBITDA on a TTM basis.

Cash generation supports the thesis

Takeaway

Operations are throwing off substantial cash relative to reinvestment spend. The case depends on keeping revenue growing without margin slippage. Reinvestment discipline matters, since growth needs to translate into cash. If growth slows, today’s pricing can look less forgiving.
