Stephen Sheldon has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors tied to Agilysys’s growth trajectory and strategic positioning. He sees the ongoing Marriott implementation and expanded contract scope as catalysts that can push results above current forecasts in the coming quarters, while the company’s differentiated software platform should continue to attract new customers and deepen existing relationships.

Additionally, Sheldon believes Agilysys is well placed to capture incremental market share and drive upsell opportunities, including in point-of-sale, which supports a multi-year runway for revenue and margin expansion. Although he assigns a low near-term likelihood to another Marriott-sized contract, he views the successful execution of this rollout as enhancing Agilysys’s credibility with other large hospitality brands, potentially setting the stage for further sizable wins over time.

In another report released on August 10, Needham also reiterated a Buy rating on the stock with a $135.00 price target.
