On October 3, 2025, TD Securities announced the resumption of its coverage of The Descartes Systems Group (NASDAQ: DSGX), assigning the Canadian-based logistics technology provider a 'Buy' rating and establishing a price target of $121 per share. This move comes as Descartes' stock trades near its lowest valuation levels in recent periods, with the share price closing at $97.34 as of October 9, 2025—a gain of 2.23% over the previous day.
TD Securities' analyst Daniel Chan noted that although DSGX has experienced a decline over the past year, the company's latest quarterly revenue topped the figure reported in the same period last year. According to Chan, Descartes is well-positioned to benefit as macroeconomic conditions improve, particularly as clients in logistics and supply chain industries look to invest in new solutions to navigate the evolving complexities of global trade.
Descartes, headquartered in Waterloo, Ontario, serves as a key player in the global logistics technology sector. The company offers solutions for supply chain management, transportation, and compliance, providing digital infrastructure for shippers, logistics providers, and manufacturers around the world. Amid increased demand for secure and efficient global shipping, Descartes has introduced several notable enhancements and partnerships in recent months.
Among the latest product developments, Descartes launched MacroPoint FraudGuard 2.0, an advanced tool designed to help shippers and logistics service providers address the growing issue of freight fraud and cargo theft. The solution leverages machine learning and advanced analytics to flag suspicious activity and protect supply chains from disruptions.
In addition, specialty retailer Golf Superstore adopted Descartes’ Sellercloud platform, enabling it to unify its inventory and order management across various online and offline sales channels. The company says the integration has streamlined operations and improved customer experience.
On the international front, Brazilian beverage producer Grupo Petrópolis reported that after implementing Descartes’ routing and fleet management system, it achieved a 98% on-time delivery rate and made significant reductions in overtime labor and fuel consumption. These operational enhancements reflect Descartes’ ongoing push to deliver value and efficiency for large enterprise clients.
Despite lowering its previous target, TD Securities' coverage pointed to the resilience and consistency of Descartes’ business model, given the persistent demand for logistics technology solutions. The firm, however, also acknowledged that certain other stocks in the sector may currently offer a greater potential upside with less risk. Nevertheless, Chan and his team see the current market conditions as an opportunity for investors to consider Descartes as a stable performer poised to benefit from a broader rebound in global trade and investment in supply chain modernization.
