This under-the-radar professional services stock boasts a Superscore of 86 from our Hidden Gems Primary database, part of The Motley Fool's Moneyball Database system. Here's why.
ExlService Holdings, a New York-based professional services firm specializing in complex, regulated workflows and modern automation, is gaining attention for its potential to outperform in the AI-driven era. The stock (EXLS) is currently trading at $41.77 and has seen a 1% increase over the past year. With an impressive Superscore of 86 out of 100, according to The Motley Fool's Hidden Gems scoring system, ExlService is considered one of the top ~3% of companies evaluated.
This score takes into account financial performance, product market position, technological capabilities, leadership quality, and relative valuation, placing the company in the Strong category. ExlService's expertise lies in helping clients across insurance and healthcare automate processes such as claims processing, predictive risk assessment, fraud detection, and collections procedures.
The company boasts an impressive 80 Net Promoter Score and has experienced double-digit growth in each of its business segments recently. With forward earnings at 18 times and a return on invested capital of 20% (up from 9% in 2020), ExlService appears to be well-positioned to benefit from the second wave of AI adoption, as businesses increasingly integrate the technology into their day-to-day operations.
However, investing in AI requires a willingness to embrace its potential, and ExlService's strong performance suggests it may be a solid contender for investors looking to capitalize on this trend over the next five years.
