While the analysts at Oppenheimer expect FX to continue to serve as a near-term headwind, they see the potential for margin expansion as the company completes its integration of Kemp. Overall, the analysts are positive on the steady execution and view the full 2022-year guidance as conservative, seeing the potential for upside as Progress capitalizes on a building M&A pipeline.
