Open Text screens cheaper than Kinaxis on all three valuation measures in this snapshot. That’s a relative comparison, not proof that either stock is undervalued.
Open Text Corp. (OTEX.TO) and Kinaxis Inc. (KXS.TO) are Canadian-listed software and services companies. At the adjusted closes on November 3, 2026, Open Text traded at C$36.05 per share, with a market cap of C$9.0 billion. Kinaxis traded at C$193.39 per share, with a market cap of C$5.3 billion. Share prices alone don’t show which company is cheaper. Valuation multiples offer a clearer comparison.
Investor takeaway: Open Text has lower P/E, PEG and P/B ratios in the supplied snapshot, so it screens cheaper on all three measures. Its dividend yield is 2.96%, compared with 0.00% for Kinaxis. These figures don’t establish fair value or predict either stock’s returns. The snapshot also gives both companies a Strong Sell consensus label and a C$0.00 analyst target. These are table entries, not reasons on their own to buy or sell either stock.

Open Text has the lower reading on all three valuation multiples
Open Text’s P/E is 10.4, compared with 45.7 for Kinaxis. Its PEG is 1.02 versus 1.82, and its P/B is 1.52 versus 9.61. On these measures, Open Text screens cheaper. But multiples are only one part of the comparison. They don’t show whether either stock is worth more or less than its current market price.
Bull case
Open Text, the lower-multiple stock, also has a 2.96% dividend yield and trailing-twelve-month ROE of 16.2% in the snapshot. These figures may interest investors comparing valuation and income, but they don’t show that the shares are undervalued.
Bear case
Open Text’s lower multiples don’t explain why the market values it less or whether that difference is justified. The snapshot also gives it a Strong Sell consensus label, while the listed C$0.00 analyst target offers no useful positive price reference.
