    • Earlier this week, Manhattan Associates reported second-quarter 2026 results showing year-on-year revenue growth to US$297.79 million and six-month revenue reaching US$580.01 million, alongside issuing full-year 2026 guidance for US$1.16 billion to US$1.17 billion in total revenue, GAAP operating margins of 24.2% to 24.4%, and GAAP EPS of US$3.59 to US$3.65.
    • The company also highlighted accelerating cloud revenue, three straight quarters of record bookings, expanding AI-based capabilities like Sightline, and the completion of a long-running US$1.64 billion share repurchase program that has retired nearly a quarter of its shares.
    • With strong guidance and expanding cloud and AI offerings, we’ll examine what these developments mean for Manhattan Associates’ investment narrative.

    What Is Manhattan Associates' Investment Narrative?

    To own Manhattan Associates, you need to believe in its shift from traditional licenses to cloud and AI-driven supply chain platforms, and that customers will keep paying for those capabilities over time. The latest quarter reinforces that story on the top line, with accelerating cloud revenue, record bookings and a fuller AI roadmap, even as GAAP margins and EPS guidance ticked slightly lower. In the near term, the key catalyst is whether that strong bookings and RPO profile converts smoothly into profitable cloud revenue growth, particularly as new tools like Sightline and Agent Foundry move from buzzwords to everyday usage with customers. The biggest risk, in my view, is that you are paying a premium multiple just as operating leverage looks less generous, and any slowdown in implementation or large deals could matter more than it used to.

    However, one risk around profitability expectations is especially important for investors to understand. Manhattan Associates' shares have been on the rise but are still potentially undervalued by 33%. Find out what it's worth.
