5/30/24 - $s - bot $17 AH. like the entry here. great biz.

5/30/24 - vrockstar - S - starting my position here at $17 after hours. hard to say what's buying mgn of safety here, but i'll make a few points:

1) growing 35-40%, same as industry leaders but spending way less

2) better tech, Tomer confident and humble communicating this; have heard it from those in industry as well. buy tech in enterprise, not necessarily in consumer, but it matters in B2B

3) net cash, 5.5x next year EV. half as cheap as avg. of ZS, CYBR, PANW etc. if they were a yester-year product i'd say that was expensive. but these guys are the marginal winners that wall street doesn't see yet

4) 2H pipeline strong, but mgmt communicating conservatively. compare this to zs. S has done a great job beating #s, so it's not like they're promising low #s on missing. what mgmt is comm'ing has to do w/ rebuilding product team esp emerging product ramp. they're incentivized (this is ~40% of their team)

5) what's downside? 4-5x sales? w/ net cash, that's basically 20% most here. that's $3 off the $17 it will open at so $14? at $15 i'd probably already be pretty large. the position i started here wasn't small - 2% to go and would take it to 3-4% at $16, 4-5% at $15 and we'll see thereafter (if/how/why/when etc.)

gl to all. lmk if you see it otherwise.
Note
stonk has over performed what i believe it should be doing in this environment >$20

still hold it, but have taken to only a 25 bps placeholder position. looking to re-accumulate high teens or just let my peanut stake run.

gl to those who r hodl'ing beyond here.
