Following the report’s release, BTIG analysts said:
“Overall, this was a strong quarter and mgmt. seems more confident in the broader stabilization of trends in the customer base, but with the added spending and lack of upside indicators in the business, we remain Neutral for now until we see greater momentum in the business to truly underwrite a return to 20%-plus growth.”
Meanwhile, Morgan Stanley (NYSE:) analysts said this is the second consecutive quarter showing stabilization in BILL’s key metrics, suggesting that the company “has regained its footing.”
“A stable macro and improving momentum from new initiatives drive management’s expectation for 20%+ growth in FY26, but may take some time for investors to buy into that acceleration,” they added, reiterating an Equal Weight rating on the stock.
