Temenos Surges on AI Confidence, Lifts Guidance
25 Feb
Summary
- Temenos shares rose significantly after updating mid-term financial guidance.
- The company reassured investors about AI's impact on the banking sector.
- Expansion efforts in the US market show a strong pipeline for future sales.

Temenos shares experienced a notable increase of 6.2% in Zurich trading on Wednesday, marking their most significant gain in four months. This surge followed the company's announcement of a robust outlook for the current year and an upward revision of its 2028 targets. The software provider, which supplies banks and wealth managers with AI-assisted products, asserted its strong strategic positioning.
Chief Executive Officer Takis Spiliopoulos addressed concerns about artificial intelligence, stating that "obligations and regulations do not shrink with AI." He highlighted the banking industry's "zero tolerance for errors and hallucinations" and "very significant risk aversion," suggesting that heavy regulation shields the sector from AI-related risks.
Despite a year-to-date share price decrease of 14%, Temenos reported stable demand from banks, even amidst AI disruption fears. Spiliopoulos expressed confidence in US expansion, noting a full pipeline fueled by a quadrupled sales headcount, with expectations to convert this pipeline in 2026.
The company projects revenue growth of approximately 12% in 2026 and has enhanced its full-year 2028 targets. Citi analyst Pavan Daswani commented that these revised targets should "support consensus revisions," particularly given recent sector-wide sentiment softness.
This year, Temenos is introducing an AI conversational layer and other AI tools for client-facing channels. More details on its comprehensive AI strategy are anticipated during the company's investor day later today.
