Tyler Technologies TYL
Tyler Technologies scores good on business quality (6.0 of 10). Here is why, in plain words, and what our sealed record shows.
Why it matters
- What Tyler Technologies does
Tyler Technologies provides software and services to public sector organizations, primarily local governments and courts, automating everything from tax billing to public safety. Revenue comes from maintenance, professional services, and software subscriptions paid by municipalities.
- What it does best
Tyler dominates public sector software deployment with a gross margin of 47.2% and extreme customer stickiness. Municipalities rarely switch administrative platforms once installed because replacement risks civic disruption, locking in long-term public agency relationships.
- The main risk
Implementation delays and execution missteps in large-scale government cloud migrations can stall revenue recognition. With shares trading at an expensive valuation above intrinsic value, any friction in public sector IT spending leaves zero room for error.
Quality, check by check
Scored against its own industry, from company filings.
Operating margin stands at 15.6% alongside a net margin of 13.4%. Profitability metrics sit in the middle of the pack sector-wide, showing moderate operational efficiency as revenue scales.
High switching costs lock in local government agencies, backed by a free cash flow margin in the 77th sector percentile. Rivals cannot easily replicate multi-decade municipal vendor relationships.
Revenue grew 9.1% to $2.4B, continuing a steady multi-year expansion from $1.6B in 2021. This growth rate sits in the 39th percentile of its sector, showing moderate pacing.
Debt-to-equity sits at 0.2 with interest coverage over 58x, making debt costs negligible. Free cash flow reached $706M, up solidly from prior years, showing the balance sheet is getting stronger.
Insiders
Executives and directors, from SEC Form 4 filings we read ourselves. Open market trades only; grants, option exercises and pre-planned sales left out.
