RingCentral (RNG) Stock Forecast & Price Target

RingCentral demonstrated strong financial performance in 4Q24, generating $133 million in cash from operations, marking an increase from both the previous quarter and the prior year’s $114 million. The company achieved substantial growth in subscription revenue, reaching $590 million, which represents an 8% year-over-year increase and accounts for 96% of total revenue, alongside a record operating margin of 21.3%. Furthermore, the introduction of new products like RingCX and RingSense is expected to drive continued revenue growth and margin expansion, positioning the company favorably towards reaching a $100 million annual recurring revenue target from these offerings by the end of FY25.

RingCentral's stock has been negatively impacted by a softer-than-expected FY25 revenue growth outlook, with projections of only 4-6% year-over-year growth, down from earlier estimates. The company's Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) growth has also slowed to 6.9% year-over-year, indicating declining performance within its core UCaaS segment amidst increasing competition and a challenging macroeconomic environment. Additionally, concerns regarding high levels of debt and the potential for deteriorating cash flows if investments do not generate adequate returns contribute to the negative outlook for the stock.
