1.b. Last Insights on VEEV

Veeva Systems' recent performance was negatively impacted by slowing growth and declining Return on Invested Capital (ROIC), raising concerns about its competitive edge. Despite strong Q3 results, customer migration issues and weak guidance signal potential challenges. The company's robust balance sheet and industry specialization remain strengths, but projected revenue growth and margin pressures make its current valuation appear high. Additionally, a cautious outlook on international revenue trends and higher costs may have contributed to the negative sentiment.

Revenue Growth and Diversification

Veeva's revenue growth is driven by its diverse portfolio of products and services. The company's CRM Suite, which accounts for about 20% of total revenue, is facing competition from Salesforce, but management is confident of winning back clients who may leave. The company's focus on expanding its Development Cloud, Quality Cloud, and commercial offerings is expected to drive growth. As per the management, "each retained customer has the potential to adopt more products, such as service center, marketing automation, and Veeva AI."

Partnerships and Competitive Advantage

Veeva's partnership with IQVIA is progressing well, driving growth in its data and software businesses.
