BBAI provides AI 'decision intelligence' solutions for defense, national security, supply chain management, etc. It has government contracts which provide a steady and growing backlog, but it is small ($1.7B market cap), it is not yet profitable, and it is free cash flow negative. Sales growth is OK (high single-digits to low-double digits), and it trades at a fairly expensive valuation of 9.8X forward sales. We like its momentum, but it is a highly volatile stock with no positive free cash flows - we would be fairly cautious at this time.
In general, we prefer using percentage of portfolio, and for our model portfolios, we tend to initiate a starter position around a 1.0% to 1.5% weighting.
