Growing Adoption of GenAI Blueprint to Aid PEGA’s Growth
The tremendous excitement surrounding PEGA’s AI offerings, particularly the Pega GenAI Blueprint, is radically altering how it interacts with potential customers.
In a matter of seconds, the Pegasystems GenAI Blueprint designs the necessary components using generative AI. The tool uses Pega's decades of industry experience to create customized workflows based on best practices for almost any situation, including managing patient care, processing insurance claims and handling credit card chargebacks. This helps to optimize broken legacy processes by beginning each discussion with a workflow that is geared toward the electronic age.
Almost all conversations with clients and prospects now include the blueprint. It has significantly altered the way the company interacts, markets and delivers its services while assisting in its efforts to gain a deeper understanding of clients' businesses.
According to Pegasystems' third-quarter earnings, its Pega GenAI Blueprint has created more excitement and quicker adoption than any other offering in the company's history. Since going live in April this year, nearly 500 organizations have contributed to the creation of more than 30,000 blueprints.
Pegasystems’ Robust AI Portfolio to Bolster Growth
Pegasystems continuously works to improve and adapt its AI products to better serve its customers.

The new Pega Smart Dispute Enterprise Edition gives banks the ability to use a single, robust and tried-and-true Pega solution to handle complex disputes and claims even more quickly across a larger range of payment types.
Pegasystems revealed in November 2024 that Pega GenAI Blueprint, which speeds up the difficult process of updating legacy systems that hinder businesses, now offers new AI-driven legacy discovery capabilities. While lowering technical debt, IT teams can now quickly assess their current systems and rethink their workflows.
The general release of Pega InfinityTM 24.2 was announced by Pegasystems in October 2024.

Conclusion: What Should You Do With PEGA Stock?
Pegasystems' perseverance and potential for long-term growth are demonstrated by its technological advancements and growing efforts to differentiate itself in the market with the newest AI offerings.
However, ongoing macroeconomic issues, such as the prolonged inflationary environment and persistently high interest rates, could impair its financial performance in the short term. Additionally, PEGA stock is not cheap at the moment, as suggested by the Zacks Value Style Score of D.
PEGA carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), implying that new investors should not accumulate the stock now and existing investors should keep holding the stock. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
