** Stifel raises French software provider Planisware PLNW.PA to "buy" from "neutral"; says recent share price drop has created a compelling entry point
** Notes its previous "neutral" rating was due to a high valuation; says stock is now "an opportunity finally worth seizing" as the valuation provides a margin of safety against potential risks
** Says its review showed Planisware is "mostly insulated" from AI disruption risks like price wars and new competition
** Trims PT by 8% to EUR 23 to account for any potential, though unlikely, future margin pressures
** 9 of 10 analysts rate stock "strong buy" or "buy" and 1 "sell" - LSEG data
