NICE (TASE:NICE) Could Be 47% Undervalued Following New AI Client Wins

NICE (TASE:NICE) is back in focus after Merlin Entertainments adopted its CXone platform to manage the full guest journey, and AOK PLUS expanded use of NICE Cognigy and CXone for large scale member service.

The recent client wins come at a time when NICE’s share price has moved sharply higher in the short term, with a 1-day share price return of 5.99% and a 90-day share price return of 28.78%. However, the 1-year total shareholder return has declined 35.53% and the 5-year total shareholder return is down 64.68%. This combination points to improving near term momentum following a long, difficult period for longer term holders.

NICE has rebounded sharply, yet longer term holders are still deep in the red. The next step is to see whether the current price still leaves enough upside to justify the risk.

Most Popular Narrative: 47% Undervalued

On the latest figures, NICE closed at ₪327.10, while the most followed narrative pegs fair value near ₪620.96. This frames the recent rebound as only a partial catch up rather than a full rerating.

The rapid growth in demand for AI-driven customer experience solutions, manifested by 42% year-over-year growth in AI and self-service ARR and the upcoming integration of Cognigy's conversational AI capabilities, provides visibility into sustained increases in high-margin, recurring cloud revenue and expanded ARPU.

See why 25 investors see NICE as 47% undervalued.

Result: Fair Value of ₪620.96 (UNDERVALUED)

Still, NICE carries real execution risk if AI regulation tightens or if higher churn in acquired cloud customers keeps recurring revenue below bullish expectations.
