FY26 revenue growth was 8.4% at Mastek, 23.9% at Latent View and 14.1% at Saksoft. P\/E stands at 11.99 for Mastek (industry 17.49), 24.32 for Latent View (industry 17.49) and 14.47 for Saksoft (industry 17.49). Demand cycles, input costs and valuation decide how much of that growth the market keeps paying for, so each company&#8217;s risks need equal attention.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Data and enterprise software services stocks give investors exposure to smaller IT firms that specialise in analytics, cloud and enterprise systems. Results depend on deal wins, client budgets and staff attrition, which is why margin steadiness matters as much as headline growth.<\/p>\n<p>This list covers three niche software service stocks: Mastek for enterprise software and digital services for UK public sector and retail clients, Latent View Analytics for data analytics and digital engineering services and Saksoft for digital, cloud and data services. Every figure comes from the latest reported financials and the 6 October 2026 market close. Companies without complete current figures were left out.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top:24px;\"><a
