Using NAIC criteria, JKHY is a buy up to $23.10 (current price is $18.52).  Projected average return over the next 5 years is 18.3%.  See annotated <a href=\"https:\/\/stockherd.com\/moosepond\/files\/ssg\/jkhy_20050805.pdf\">stock selection guide<\/a> for more details.  The SSG assumes a 13.5% revenue growth based on Value Line.<\/p>\n<p>Jack Henry &#038; Associates provides integrated computer systems and processes ATM and debit card transactions for banks and credit unions.  It describes itself as:  <\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>A technology provider for the financial industry. That&#8217;s the simplest way to describe what we do. But it hardly describes what Jack Henry &#038; Associates is really about. We&#8217;re about solutions and support. We&#8217;re about building relationships and making things work. We&#8217;re about doing the right things for our customers, no matter what. It began as a vision, and it&#8217;s become our tradition.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>A substantial amount of JKHY&#8217;s revenue, about 60%, comes from recurring sales.  The company has a strong customer focus.  Its several corporate aircraft are used to transport customer support teams &#8212; not company executives.  Great concept! <\/p>\n<p>Value Line rates JHKY&#8217;s financial strength &#8220;B++&#8221; and earnings predictability as 75 (out of 100).  Its RQR quality rating is 61 &#8212; a little lower than the Moose Pond Investors portfolio average.  Given the high projected average return and the that fact that JKHY is a medium size company, the lower quality rating is acceptable.  Morningstar gives JKHY a rating of five stars and a wide economic moat.  It estimates fair value at $22 assuming a growth in revenue of 11.5%.  (Lowering the sales growth rate in the SSG to 11.5% results in a PAR of 16.3%). <\/p>\n<p><strong>Bottom Line.<\/strong>  JKHY is a strong buy up to $23.10.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jack Henry &#038; Associates (JKHY) is a stock that frequently shows up in screens for quality growth stocks and is another company to consider buying.
