Kinaxis Inc. (KXS-T) is recognized as a leader in supply chain management software, particularly with advancements in AI technology that could bring both disruption and opportunity. Despite the company's strong execution, its stock has been volatile and the broader logistics sector faces challenges from the potential risks of AI disruption. Experts note the firm has experienced a significant de-rating from its previous premium valuation, leading to caution among investors. There's an overall sentiment to watch the effects of AI in subsequent quarters, as some analysts believe a turnaround might be on the horizon, though they recommend incrementally investing rather than making substantial purchases. The ongoing shifts in the sector suggest that it may still be too early to definitively determine whether the current pricing reflects a bottom or if further declines are possible.

BUY
They have grown revenues at 25%+. All board rooms are talking about supply chains. It is also about the ESG model. Still has a long runway in front of them. RapidStart has tightened bringing the solution to market. They have a growing addressable market. Reasonably valued.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Part of the supply chain solution right now. At the top of the food chain analyzing data. In a really good spot. High margin, recurring SaaS-type revenue, though lumpy at times. Growing global customer base. Buy on a dip. Huge addressable market.
DON'T BUY
Performed well over time. Challenge is it's expensive, plus a relatively small client base. Client and revenue concentration risk. Better opportunities elsewhere.
HOLD

Billy Kawasaki’s Insights - Billy’s most-liked answers from 5i Research. The growth story still remains intact and 5i would continue to hold for the long term. If you want to trim to secure some cash, this could make sense. The supply chain focus should remain interesting, considering issues at this time in this domain. Unlock Premium - Try 5i Free

SELL ON STRENGTH
Even if earnings tumbled back to their Feb. 2019 peak level, this stock would still be overvalued. But cloud computing stocks are hot, so Kinaxis has enjoyed a nice recovery. Technically, shares have broken out of $172 resistence and can easily reach $222. This is the same peak level of 2020. That would be the ceiling. Take profits.
BUY ON WEAKNESS

DON'T BUY
Leery about the valuation. Great business that helps manage supply chains. Trades at 230x 2021 earnings, too rich. A 45% correction because of a stumble. Growth rate of 12% doesn't justify valuation. Sales are growing more rapidly than earnings, margins are shrinking.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jun 03/20, Up 24%) Suffering because supply chain issues should flow through to revenue, but that's taking longer. #1 company that helps companies fix supply chain issues on the fly. Will have a great few years ahead.
BUY
It had a pretty severe pull back. It is a name he likes and holds. They continue to take market share. The concerns right now are the sales-cycle, winning new business and accelerating through the pandemic.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jun 03/20, Down 9%) A supply chain management software company which is seeing growing demand with pandemics and trade wars. The challenge was their sales cycle is a lot longer than the typical software business. Covid really slowed down sales in Q4. The street expected robust revenues by end of 2020, but numbers were flat. This should improve this year. He's sticking with it. Has great EBITDA margins and balance sheet. Post-Covid, this will do very well.
DON'T BUY

This is like SHOP-T. It is pricey and the market has high-expectations. There will be some structural spend but it may not be enough to justify the PE. There will be difficult comparisons to last year, a banner year.

DON'T BUY
He has not quite pulled the trigger on them yet. Their return on equity has been falling. Their growing free cash flow has been held or used for acquisitions, but they have not been accretive. They are expensive. He does own a similar company in the US who use their excess cash to buy back shares.
HOLD

With an annual revenue of $200M, it is not particularly material. There is not too much concern with this news. Unlock Premium - Try 5i Free

DON'T BUY
A falling knife. Earnings forecast scheduled to fall year over year. Price to book is 9x, intrinsic value is 80% below current price. Technical failure at $185 down to $143. ROE is only 8.7%.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jan 23/20, Up 46%) When China started to shut down from Covid earlier this year, Kinaxis benefitted from many companies suddenly stopped receiving shipments from China because Chinese factories closed; Kinaxis offered solutions to ensure this stoppage wouldn't happen again. Kinaxis picked up a lot of business. Tech, including this, has sold off lately, with the vaccine rally, but this remains a solid company.
