SS&C Technologies is trading at a significant discount due to concerns over its high $7.3 billion net debt and refinancing risks. However, the company reported strong Q2 results with 10% adjusted revenue growth, 18% EPS growth, and a 39.5% adjusted EBITDA margin, driven by recurring revenues. Its valuation metrics, including a P/E ratio around 10x and EV/EBITDA at 11.5x, are well below sector medians, suggesting it may be undervalued relative to peers. Despite debt worries, SS&C's robust free cash flow and capital returns support a positive outlook for investors.
