Are Wall Street Analysts Bullish on Tyler Technologies Stock?

Tyler Technologies, Inc. (TYL), headquartered in Plano, Texas, provides integrated information management solutions and services. With a market cap of $15.1 billion, the company's client base includes local government offices throughout the U.S., Canada, Puerto Rico, and the United Kingdom.

Shares of this software giant have notably underperformed the broader market over the past year. TYL has declined 34.1% over this time frame, while the broader S&P 500 Index ($SPX) has rallied nearly 19.3%. In 2026, TYL’s stock fell 18.5%, compared to the SPX’s 12.9% rise on a YTD basis. 

Narrowing the focus, TYL’s underperformance is also apparent compared to the iShares Expanded Tech-Software Sector ETF (IGV). The exchange-traded fund has gained about 2.7% over the past year. Moreover, the ETF’s 4.4% returns on a YTD basis outshine the stock’s double-digit losses over the same time frame.

TYL has underperformed off its 52-week highs primarily due to severe valuation re-rating and decelerating top-line growth rather than SaaS transition friction. After expanding to aggressive earnings multiple, the stock faced sharp selling pressure when quarterly revenue growth settled into the high-single digits, making its premium valuation difficult to sustain. While the company maintains strong recurring subscription revenue and a dominant position in the public sector, quarter-over-quarter revenue misses and tighter municipal IT budget timelines led investors to reset expectations, causing the stock to pull back significantly from its peak.

On Jul. 29, TYL reported its Q2 results, and its shares closed down more than 3% in the following trading session. Its adjusted EPS of $3.08 beat Wall Street expectations of $3.06. The company’s revenue was $645.1 million, falling short of Wall Street forecasts of $647 million. TYL expects full-year adjusted EPS in the range of $12.95 to $13.20, and revenue in the range of $2.5 billion to $2.6 billion.

For the current fiscal year, ending in December, analysts expect TYL’s EPS to grow 15% to $10.13 on a diluted basis. The company’s earnings surprise history is mixed. It beat the consensus estimate in two of the last four quarters while missing the forecast on two other occasions. 

Among the 23 analysts covering TYL stock, the consensus is a “Strong Buy.” That’s based on 18 “Strong Buy” ratings, one “Moderate Buy,” and four “Holds.”

This configuration is more bullish than a month ago, with 17 analysts suggesting a “Strong Buy.” 

On Aug. 3, Peter Heckmann from D.A. Davidson maintained a “Buy” rating on TYL, with a price target of $460, implying a potential upside of 24.4% from current levels.

The mean price target of $420.27 represents a 13.6% premium to TYL’s current price levels. The Street-high price target of $525 suggests a notable upside potential of 41.9%.
