Why is Amdocs Limited (DOX) stock moving?
Amdocs fell from a $62.43 close on Nov 3 to $43.66 on Nov 4, about 30%, after fiscal 2027 guidance came in far below consensus. Adjusted EPS guidance of $5.19-$5.48 compares with an $8.08 estimate and FY2026 non-GAAP EPS of $7.41, while sales guidance of $3.856B-$4.025B compares with a $4.845B estimate. Q1 GAAP EPS guidance of $0.81-$0.89 compares with a $1.71 estimate. The CEO declined to quantify T-Mobile revenue exposure during the dispute, which keeps the main risk unquantified. Stifel kept its Buy but cut its target from $71 to $46, and Oppenheimer downgraded to Perform. The stock has kept making lower lows, with a 30-day low of $39.96 on Nov 10 and a close of $41.46. Volume spiked to 9.38M shares on Nov 4 versus roughly 0.9M in the prior weeks, then eased to 2.88M, which suggests selling pressure is fading but the trend is still down. Positives include the eight-year AT&T agreement, the Vodafone Business UK and Integratel Peru wins, the EIS acquisition, management's FY2028 outlook of mid-single-digit revenue growth and high-single-digit EPS growth, a steadily rising dividend, and $511M of FY2026 buybacks. The securities investigation notice is a law firm announcement, not a finding.

About Amdocs Limited
Amdocs is a long-established provider of billing, customer-management and network software and services to telecom and media companies. Major carriers like AT&T use it for big, multi-year projects, and it is now expanding into AI 'agentic' software (its aOS platform) and, through its roughly $340 million EIS purchase, into insurance software.
How it makes money
It earns money from long, multi-year contracts with telecom operators. These cover software licences, modernisation and cloud-migration projects, and managed services, where Amdocs runs systems for clients on an ongoing basis. Managed services make up the majority of revenue. Fiscal 2026 revenue was about $4.7 billion (up about 3.6%), and the company paid a quarterly dividend and bought back shares. Revenue depends heavily on a few large customers, with AT&T the biggest. It expects a sharp revenue drop in fiscal 2027 because of lower business with T-Mobile and its exit from hardware resale and its media unit, which together brought in about $360 million.
