Investors should consider investing in Amdocs Ltd (NASDAQ: DOX) for exposure to continued growth in artificial intelligence, says George Notter – a Jefferies analyst.

The Israeli company teamed up with Nvidia Corp last year to accelerate adoption of Gen AI in the telecom industry. According to Notter:

The news arrives only weeks after the multinational reported in-line revenue for the first quarter. Its per-share earnings, however, came in marginally below Street estimates.

Jefferies’ Notter remains bullish on Amdocs stock even though it has already gained close to 15% over the past four months.

George Notter recommends buying Amdocs stock also because there’s a massive “opportunity to shift customers to cloud”.

He’s constructive on the software company as it has a “competitive moat” and “very sticky customers” as well.

The Jefferies analyst is confident that $DOX will hit $105 by the end of this year on “additional business as operators push AI and Cloud”. His price objective suggests a near 20% upside from here.

Note that Statista forecasts the artificial intelligence market to grow up to tenfold by the end of this decade. Amdocs Ltd does also pay a dividend yield of 2.14% at writing which makes up for another good reasons to have it in an investment portfolio.
