Tyler Technologies, Inc. (TYL), based in Texas, is the quiet powerhouse fueling government tech. With software in over 13,000 locations and all 50 U.S. states, Tyler’s mission is to modernize public sector operations. Its tools help agencies streamline data, boost efficiency, and make smarter decisions. Valued at $24.5 billion by market cap, Tyler is not just digitizing government – it is reshaping how it works.
Large-cap stocks are those companies valued at north of $10 billion, and Tyler Technologies fits that mold with ease. With a market cap well above the threshold, Tyler dominates the government tech arena, driving innovation in cloud, data, and cybersecurity. Through bold acquisitions and strategic plays, it has become the digital backbone for smarter, faster, more transparent public services.
But even giants stumble. Tyler’s shares are down 14% from their 52-week high of $661.31 achieved on Feb. 13, slipping 1% over the past three months and lagging the Dow Jones Industrials Average's ($DOWI) 1.4% rise.
However, over the longer term, TYL stock rose 20.3% over the past 52 weeks, outperforming DOWI’s 8.6% returns over the past year.
Tyler Technologies has been stuck in a technical tug-of-war. Since March, the stock drifted below both its 50- and 200-day moving averages. By May, TYL managed to claw back above its 50-day line - just enough to tease a comeback. The stock just flashed a bearish crossover - its 50-day average dipped beneath the 200-day, signaling momentum fatigue.
Shares of Tyler Technologies have been grinding up the charts over the past year, powered by its sharp pivot into cloud-based solutions and a growing appetite for AI integration.
Plus, the company's fundamentals were robust, consistently outpacing the broader market. For instance, released on April 23, its Q1 fiscal 2025 numbers were rock solid: $2.78 in adjusted EPS and $565.2 million in revenue – both exceeding estimates. But Wall Street can be a cold game. Despite the beat, a wave of analyst downgrades sent the stock sliding 6% overnight, proof that even solid execution can get undercut by shaken sentiment.
