Why You Should Hold Envestnet (ENV) Stock in Your Portfolio Now

Factors That Augur Well
Envestnet’s business model ensures solid asset-based and subscription-based recurring revenue-generation capacity. ENV provides asset-based and subscription-based services on a business-to-business-to-consumer (B2B2C) basis to financial services clients. These clients offer solutions based on ENV’s platform to their end users.
Envestnet continues focusing on technological upgrades to improve operational efficiency, increase market competitiveness, address regulatory demands and cater to client-driven requests for new capabilities. Currently, ENV’s technology platforms are based on a three-tier architecture combining a web-based user interface, an application tier housing the business logic for all the platforms’ functionality and an SQL Server database. Management believes that ENV’s technology-based designs allow significant scalability.
A Key Risk
Envestnet's current ratio at the end of the September quarter was 0.64, lower than the current ratio of 0.77 reported at the end of the June quarter and the prior-year quarter’s current ratio of 2.04. A decreasing current ratio is undesirable as it indicates a company’s inefficiency in meeting its short-term debt obligations.
