Temenos shares down after Hindenburg allegations impact Q1
** Shares in Temenos TEMN.S fall 6% after the Swiss banking software group reported that short seller allegations from February led to delays in client decision-making in Q1
** Knut Woller, analyst at Baader Helvea, says the company was off to a weaker than expected start to the year "particularly in terms of total software licensing growth" which missed consensus by 16%
** Temenos said recent accusations of accounting irregularities by Hindenburg Research led to a "temporary lengthening" of its sales cycles
** The firm also announced the appointment of Jean-Pierre Brulard as its new CEO effective from May 1 which should "help ease some concerns," Citi analyst Pavan Daswani says
** "The picture on the SaaS side sounded far less constructive," JP Morgan says in a note, as Temenos lowered its SaaS growth outlook in 2024 to 10% from previously 20%, partly also driven by deal closing delays
** The stock sits at the bottom of the Swiss mid-cap index .SMIM
