The model's assumptions for Tyler Technologies
Tyler Technologies' fiscal year is the calendar year, and the last year it has reported is 2025. The model runs three years, to 2028. Every row below is the model's own except the analyst consensus revenue.
| 2026 | 2027 | 2028 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue, model | 2.55 | 2.79 | 3.06 |
| Revenue growth, model | 9.3% | 9.5% | 9.5% |
| EBITDA, model | 0.55 | 0.61 | 0.66 |
| EBITDA margin, model | 21.7% | 21.7% | 21.7% |
| Revenue, analyst consensus | 2.55 | 2.80 | 3.08 |
Why Tyler Technologies looks overvalued
Tyler Technologies' shares closed at $394.30 on October 30, 2026, against $387.44 on November 2, 2020, while its revenue grew from $1.12 billion in 2020 to $2.33 billion in 2025.
Much of Tyler's growth over that period was acquired: it bought NIC, a digital government and payments company, in April 2021 for approximately $2.0 billion net of cash. SaaS fees were 33.3% of Tyler's 2025 revenue, and SaaS revenue grew 21.2% in the third quarter of 2026. On the earnings call of October 29, 2026, an analyst put organic SaaS growth at 16%, and Tyler's chief financial officer said growth is below the company's target.
“In terms of the SaaS growth rate, we remain very confident in that long-term 20% through 2030 that we've set as a target.”
Brian Miller, Chief Financial Officer, Tyler Technologies third-quarter 2026 earnings call, October 29, 2026
The model has Tyler's revenue growing inside the company's guidance for 2026 and at 9.5% in 2027 and 2028, just under analyst consensus of 9.7% a year from 2025 to 2028. With the EBITDA margin held at 21.7% and an exit multiple of 25 times EBITDA, the model values Tyler at about $431 a share for 2028, about 9% above the share price.
With the rest of the model held constant, Tyler's share price implies revenue growth of about 13.5% a year, against the 9.1% Tyler reported for 2025.
Tyler's operating margin was 15.5% of revenue in 2020 and 15.3% in 2025.
