Let’s delve deeper.
Strong Product Portfolio: We are optimistic about Veeva Systems’ robust product portfolio. The company, in November, showcased the Veeva CRM Engage Connect compliant messaging and content sharing capabilities at an event. The same month, the company also showcased its latest enhancements to Veeva CRM.
In October, Veeva Systems announced the TMF Bot, a new Veeva Vault eTMF feature that uses AI to streamline TMF management and accelerate trial execution.
Increasing Product Adoption: Veeva Systems has been registering a robust adoption for its products over the past few months. The company, in November, announced that the Center for Breakthrough Medicines adopted Veeva Vault Quality Suite to modernize development and manufacturing services for sponsors.
In October, Veeva Systems announced that the number of biotechs using Veeva Vault CDMS to run faster and more effective oncology trials more than doubled from the last-year level.
Strong Q3 Results: Veeva Systems’ solid third-quarter fiscal 2022 results buoy optimism. Both its segments performed impressively during the quarter. The company continues to benefit from its flagship Vault platform, which is encouraging. Veeva Commercial Cloud won seven 7-figure deals in core Veeva CRM, Veeva Crossix analytics and Veeva Link, which look impressive.
Veeva Systems added 15 SMB customers and had some significant enterprise expansions, which auger well for the company. The company witnessed strength in the international market as well, including wins for two large field forces in Asia, raising our optimism on the stock. Expansion of both margins also bodes well. A raised guidance for the fiscal year is a major positive.
Downsides
Forex Woes: Veeva Systems derives a major share of its revenues from international operations. Some of its international agreements provide for payment denominated in local currencies and the majority of its local costs are also denominated in local currencies.
As the company continues to expand its operations in countries outside the United States, an increasing proportion of its revenues and expenditures in the future may be denominated in foreign currencies. Fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar versus foreign currencies may impact its operating results when converted into U.S. dollars.
Stiff Competition: Veeva Systems operate in a highly competitive market. In new sales cycles within the company’s largest product categories, it competes with other cloud-based solutions from providers that make applications inclined toward the life sciences industry. The company’s Commercial Cloud and Veeva Vault application suites also compete to replace client server-based legacy solutions offered by large companies and other smaller application providers.
