We believe that Blackbaud's stock (NASDAQ



NDAQ

: BLKB) still has more than 20% upside once the fear around the pandemic subsides. Blackbaud, a cloud computing provider, saw its stock lose around 33% in value so far this year. It traded at a pre-Covid high of $80 in January, and is still below that level. BLKB stock has gained 7% from the low of $49 seen in March 2020, after the Fed's multi-billion dollar stimulus package announced on March 23rd which lifted market sentiments. The stock price rose as lockdowns lifted across regions creating a positive market sentiment. Despite the rally in BLKB stock since late March, we believe that the stock has more room for growth. Our conclusion is based on our detailed analysis of Blackbaud's stock performance during the current crisis with that during the 2008 recession in our dashboard analysis.
