NICE (ISIN US6536561086) is covered by a higher USD 145.00 price target after RBC raised its objective from USD 130.00 on September 24, 2026, according to MarketBeat. NICE stock was at EUR 111.50 at Lang & Schwarz on October 27, 2026 at 9:42 a.m. CEST in pre-market trading.

RBC target resets the valuation frame

The RBC view arrived as NICE continued to build its artificial intelligence offering. The company reported USD 782.29 million of revenue for the second quarter of 2026, up 7.70 percent from the same quarter a year earlier, while net income attributable to common shareholders was USD 83.23 million and diluted earnings per share were USD 1.40, according to the company investor-relations page and the reported-period data.

The revenue figure is growing, but profitability is the sharper investor question. Second-quarter net income was USD 83.23 million, compared with USD 46.81 million in the first quarter of 2026, while operating cash flow was USD 122.66 million in the second quarter. That combination leaves the target increase dependent on whether growth can translate into steadier earnings.

What does the AI investment mean?

AI annual recurring revenue reached USD 362.00 million in the second quarter of 2026, up 52.00 percent year over year, and represented 15.00 percent of cloud revenue, IT Brief reported on October 22, 2026. The metric gives the target a concrete operating test: AI expansion must support both recurring growth and margin recovery.

Three dated NICE milestones

On August 5, 2026, NICE published its second-quarter earnings materials, with revenue of USD 782.29 million. On September 24, 2026, RBC raised its price target from USD 130.00 to USD 145.00, according to MarketBeat. On October 21, 2026, NICE announced that it had been named a Leader in the 2026 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Contact Center as a Service, as reported by Business Wire.

Two dates remain on the calendar

NICE is scheduled to report third-quarter 2026 earnings on November 12, 2026, while its fiscal-year 2026 report is listed for February 25, 2027, according to Barrons. The upcoming quarter will show whether the USD 362.00 million AI recurring-revenue base is expanding alongside total revenue.
