BILL Holdings (BILL) is back in focus after a sharp stock move tied to a stronger than expected earnings update, higher full year guidance, and fresh M&A chatter involving private equity firm Hellman & Friedman.
See our latest analysis for BILL Holdings.
The 37.2% 1 day share price return, taking BILL Holdings to US$48.94, came after earnings, raised guidance, and the potential sale discussions shifted how investors view its growth prospects and risks. Even so, the share price return over the year to date is slightly negative and the 1 year total shareholder return of 21.2% decline underlines that, despite the recent surge, longer term performance has been weak.

With revenue guidance now higher, fresh AI and embedded finance momentum, a completed buyback, and potential private equity interest in the mix, you have to ask: is BILL still undervalued, or are markets already pricing in future growth?
With BILL Holdings closing at $48.94 against a widely followed fair value estimate of $60.86, the narrative suggests the market is still applying a discount, even after the latest jump.
Expansion of embedded finance capabilities and the Embed 2.0 strategy, including strategic partnerships with large enterprise software platforms, is set to broaden BILL's distribution channels and could significantly increase customer acquisition and transaction volumes, translating into higher long-term revenues.
Curious what kind of earnings path and margin profile would support that gap between price and fair value? The most followed narrative leans on steady revenue compounding, rising profitability, and a higher future earnings multiple that still sits well above current sector norms. The full set of assumptions is where the story really gets interesting.
Result: Fair Value of $60.86 (UNDERVALUED)
