Is Progress Software a better investment than Palantir after ShareFile acquisition?

As Palantir Technologies (NYSE: PLTR) celebrates its inclusion in the S&P 500 and a new partnership with British Petroleum, which has propelled its stock up by 11%, another tech company is making headlines.

Progress Software (NASDAQ: PRGS) has recently announced its acquisition of ShareFile for $875 million, sparking a comparison between the two companies.

With Palantir’s stock having surged fourfold over the past year due to its successful AI ventures and diversification efforts, is Progress Software’s latest move a signal of a similar growth opportunity?

Progress Software’s acquisition of ShareFile

Progress Software’s acquisition of ShareFile, a file-sharing platform known for its enhanced data security powered by AI, marks a significant strategic shift.

ShareFile, created by Jesse Lipson to meet business clients’ needs for secure file sharing, was acquired by Citrix Systems in 2011 and later by the Cloud Software Group.

Now, with Progress Software set to finalize the purchase before November 30, 2024, the integration of ShareFile could position the company as a leader in secure cloud-based file-sharing solutions.

Investment potential in Progress Software

Progress Software’s recent quarterly report highlights its strong performance, surpassing revenue and earnings estimates.

However, the company also increased its R&D spending and adjusted its growth outlook downward, causing some volatility in its stock price.

Despite these fluctuations, Progress Software operates in the rapidly expanding developer tools automation market, projected to grow from $11 billion to $63 billion by 2032—a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 21%.

The market’s current trend of integrating AI functionalities into systems could further enhance demand for Progress Software’s products.

Although the stock price recently dipped due to the suspension of its dividend to fund the acquisition and repay debt, this could be a strategic move to bolster future growth and innovation.

Progress Software vs. Palantir: where to invest?

While Palantir’s stock has seen a dramatic increase, driven by high-profile AI deals and its upcoming S&P 500 inclusion, Progress Software’s recent acquisition of ShareFile positions it as a potential growth stock.

The company’s commitment to expanding its AI capabilities and entering new markets could mirror the success Palantir has experienced.

The temporary stock dip and dividend suspension may present a buying opportunity for investors looking to capitalize on Progress Software’s long-term growth potential.

As the tech sector continues to evolve, Progress Software’s strategic moves and market positioning could make it a strong contender for investors seeking the next big opportunity.
