Fundamental Analysis
Key Financial Insights: ⢠Margin expansion ⢠Tight liquidity ⢠High leverage Q2 Holdings shows meaningful profitability and cash-flow improvement (Q2 net margin 7%, EBITDA 15%, rising cash) but faces tight near-term liquidity, elevated leverage and large intangibles while trading at rich multiples.

AI Summary
QTWO's story has shifted from recovery to a conditional profitability and product-traction narrativeâmeaningful margin expansion, positive net income and cash cushion underpin upside, but elevated leverage, tight near-term liquidity and premium multiples make the stock highly dependent on sustained ARR growth, churn control, and measurable Helix/BaaS conversion. Investors should monitor quarterly ARR growth, churn trends, Helix adoption/ARPU uplift and the company's liquidity ratios (current ratio, working capital) as make-or-break signals that will drive valuation re-rating.
