Zacks Initiates Coverage of NetSol With Outperform Recommendation

Zacks Investment Research has initiated the coverage of NetSol Technologies, Inc. NTWK with an “Outperform” recommendation, highlighting the company’s strong growth potential and position in the asset finance and leasing technology sector.

NetSol’s focus on recurring revenues, innovative technologies and geographic expansion positions it for long-term success in a rapidly evolving industry. Recurring revenues rose 26% year over year in first-quarter fiscal 2025, demonstrating improved predictability and scalability. A growing subscription-based model aligns with current market trends, reducing upfront costs for clients while creating consistent revenue streams.

NetSol's recent achievements include a $16-million contract with a U.S. automaker and a $30-million expansion deal in China, strengthening its foothold across North America, Europe and the Asia-Pacific. The company’s AI-powered Transcend platform, designed for the automotive finance market, underscores its commitment to digital transformation, giving it an edge in a sector poised for steady growth.

The report notes NetSol’s strong liquidity position of $24.5 million, which supports ongoing innovation and expansion efforts. The company’s impressive 95% client retention rate and long-term partnerships with industry leaders, such as Daimler and BMW, reflect its ability to deliver value consistently.

The research report highlights several key factors that could drive NetSol’s growth. With global vehicle sales and automotive finance markets projected to grow steadily, the company is well-positioned to capitalize. Its flagship products, including NFS Ascent and the Otoz digital retail platform, cater to the needs of top-tier automotive OEMs and financial institutions.

However, potential investors should consider certain risks outlined in the report. The report highlights headwinds such as declining license fee revenues due to the transition to a subscription model, which may compress margins in the near term. Additionally, elevated operating expenses, geopolitical uncertainty in key regions like Pakistan and the reliance on major clients such as Daimler and BMW increase vulnerability.

NetSol’s stock is trading at compelling valuation metrics compared with its peers. NTWK is trading at an attractive valuation, with its EV/EBITDA multiple significantly below the industry average, suggesting considerable upside. The company’s shares have risen over the past year, outperforming many peers in the Zacks computer-software subindustry.
