NICE’s latest results showcase why investors might continue to view the business as a durable software compounder even as the stock has really struggled recently. NICE generated $2.95 billion in revenue in 2025, up 8% year over year, while its fast-growing cloud segment expanded 13% to $2.24 billion. Fourth quarter revenue climbed 9% to $786.5 million, and earnings growth remained strong, with diluted EPS jumping 43% to $9.67 for the full year. Momentum in AI products is also accelerating adoption, appearing in all new seven-figure CXone deals as AI annual recurring revenue surged 66% to $328 million for the year.Despite those numbers, the stock has slipped roughly 16.5% over the past year, lagging the broader market. That disconnect may help explain why investors are adding exposure. And the move might already be paying off: Shares are up about a modest 4% for the year, bucking the S&P 500’s roughly 3% decline in the same period.
