SPS Commerce (NASDAQ: SPSC) stock wasn't impeded on Hump Day at all. Thanks largely to a substantial price target raise from an analyst, investors flocked to the supply chain software developer's equity. SPS Commerce's stock finished the day more than 4% higher in value.
A major hike
The prognosticator behind that move was Needham's Scott Berg, who lifted his fair value assessment on SPS by more than 33%. He now feels the stock is worth $100 per share, from his previous $75. He maintained his buy recommendation when making the change.

Berg's adjustment came on the heels of Needham's hosting of investor meetings with SPS CEO Chad Collins and CFO Joe Del Preto. According to reports, the analyst wrote that the company's recent divestment of Carbon6, a developer of solutions for Amazon merchants, will help it produce more predictable growth.
The pundit also waxed positive about several other factors that could drive improvements in fundamentals, perhaps even generating double-digit growth. He cited the monetization of Max, the company's agentic artificial intelligence (AI) platform, as being a particularly ripe opportunity.
Serious about supply chains
SPS has many advantages as a software vendor helping businesses manage their supply chains -- no easy feat in a globalized world currently being convulsed by war in strategic regions. I think Berg's assessment that the company stands before at least several growth opportunities is sound, and I'd be bullish on its future, too.
