NICE (TASE:NICE) has expanded its AI ambitions through a new collaboration with digital engineering firm Ciklum, aiming to deploy agentic AI into large EMEA contact centers and tie it directly to measurable service metrics.

Most Popular Narrative: 40% Undervalued
NICE closed at ₪370.2, while the most followed narrative anchors fair value at ₪620.96, so the gap between price and story is wide.
The rapid growth in demand for AI-driven customer experience solutions, manifested by 42% year-over-year growth in AI and self-service ARR and the upcoming integration of Cognigy's conversational AI capabilities, provides visibility into sustained increases in high-margin, recurring cloud revenue and expanded ARPU. Ongoing acceleration in digital transformation and the shift from on-premise to cloud across global enterprises, underscored by major competitive wins and a solid pipeline of large-scale international deals (such as DWP and AOK PLUS), support robust top-line growth and long-term increases in subscription revenues.
