Alger Weatherbie Specialized Growth Fund H. George Dai, Joshua D. Bennett | “Vertex provides tax compliance software through both cloud and on-premises deployments, integrating with enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems primarily for large enterprises (companies with over 250 employees). The company offers comprehensive solutions that automate the full scope of indirect tax processes, including tax determination, data management, compliance, reporting, and document management. Shares detracted from performance during the quarter after Vertex reported strong second-quarter results but lowered its full-year revenue guidance. Management cited a more uncertain demand environment, as customers are expected to delay ERP and software implementations, which overshadowed otherwise solid quarterly execution. BSD Analysis: Mixed signals—solid execution but lowered FY guidance due to delayed ERP cycles—suggest near-term growth headwinds. While retention is high, elongating sales cycles and macro sensitivity warrant caution until bookings re-accelerate.” | BULL | Q3 2025 Oct 8, 2025 | View Pitch |
