As outlined by Investing.com, Morgan Stanley\u2019s vertical AI framework suggests supply-chain and retail operations have historically been under-automated, creating direct monetization paths for automated workflows.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The upgrade follows a 69.5% share price gain over the prior six months, with Quintero arguing that business momentum is inflecting positively despite an elevated valuation multiple. <\/p>\n<p>Is now the time to buy Manhattan Associates?    <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/stockstory.org\/us\/stocks\/nasdaq\/manh?utm_source=whyItMoves&amp;utm_medium=cloudquote&amp;utm_campaign=company_link&amp;partner=cloudquote&amp;utm_article=Cl92aGwCY0I%3D&amp;utm_ticker=MANH\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Access our full analysis report here, it\u2019s free<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>What Is The Market Telling Us<\/p>\n<p>Manhattan Associates\u2019s shares are quite volatile and have had 16 moves greater than 5% over the last year. In that context, today\u2019s move indicates the market considers this news meaningful but not something that would fundamentally change its perception of the business. <\/p>\n<p>The previous big move we wrote about was 14 days ago when the stock dropped 3.4% on the news that a deepening Treasury selloff and higher oil prices pushed the benchmark 10-year yield to 5.218%, reinforcing expectations of further Federal Reserve rate hikes.<\/p>\n<p>Manhattan Associates is up 30.6% since the beginning of the year, and at $218.43 per share, it is trading close to its 52-week high of $223.76 from August 2026. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Manhattan Associates\u2019s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $1,434.<\/p>\n<p>ONE MORE THING: 3 Hidden Platforms Growing 3X Faster than Amazon, Google, and PayPal.
