Blackbaud (BLKB), a key player in cloud software for nonprofits, education, and healthcare, has delivered steady revenue growth from $732 million in 2016 to $1.16 billion in 2024—a solid 5% CAGR—despite setbacks like a 2020 ransomware attack and economic headwinds. However, 2024 brought a shocking $283 million net loss from a massive goodwill impairment, slashing book value per share by 82% and sending shares back to 2016 lows, highlighting risks from its acquisition strategy.
Efficiency shines through with revenue per employee doubling to $444,000 and free cash flow per share up 90% to $4.52, supporting dividends and buybacks amid rising debt. Analysts forecast a revenue dip in 2025 before rebounding, with explosive profitability recovery—$115 million net income in 2025 and EPS of $3.13 in 2026—implying 22% upside from current levels. Yet, insider selling and leverage concerns temper the optimism.
At attractive forward multiples like 16x 2026 EPS and 17.5x EV/FCF, BLKB looks undervalued for patient investors, but watch for nonprofit budget squeezes or cyber risks. Dive into the full analysis for the charts, historical parallels, and buy/hold verdict.
