** Jefferies says Australia's ReadyTech RDY.AX continues
to look appealing, says RDY is organically penetrating its key
verticals (local govt., education) and not suffering churn
** Brokerage says co offers a solid pipeline, has improving
cash flows from FY24, low churn and an appealing valuation
** ReadyTech has been generating 2 times more organic
revenue growth than peer Technology One; this is important and
goes some way towards levitating concerns around transparency
and sustainability of growth - Jefferies
** Brokerage, however, cuts price target for co to A$3.70
from A$3.80 while maintaining rating at "buy"
** Jefferies cuts price target as brokerage sees higher tax
rate marginally hurting co's EPS in future
** Six of six analysts rate the stock "buy" or higher; their
median PT is A$4.06 – Refinitiv data
** Stock has fallen 9.7% this year, as of last close
