If you believe GPN can re-accelerate revenue growth and improve ROIC toward ADSK-like levels, then the stock may deserve a re-rating, because its current multiples are far below ADSK and even below ADSK-implied valuation range; otherwise, the discount looks appropriate given the weaker growth and quality profile.
On a ADSK-relative basis, GPN trades at a large discount to ADSK on every major valuation metric, but the market is also penalizing GPN for materially weaker growth and much lower capital efficiency. The implied price of $229.30 versus the current price of $78.63 suggests a 191.6% upside under the P/E framework, yet that gap is hard to reconcile with the operating and quality profile.
