Buy it strategically. A leader in innovative search solutions for enterprises, not consumers. All the hyperscalers have partnered with it, so that's a positive checkmark. 12-month price target of $129, so runway is shorter. Buy in thirds here at $112, $104, and under $100.

He's lightened up a lot on software. At this stage, probably a pretty good buy for the long term. Revenue forecast to grow ~16% per annum for the next 3 years. The space averages ~12% per annum. The place to make $$ these days within the AI revolution is the hardware (picks and shovels). 

Consolidates AI to present answers at the business level. Q2 earnings had a 37% pop. Good earnings momentum. He'd sell if it dropped below $120. Off the beaten path, really cool company. No dividend.
