A very high quality POS name. He does not think it will be the next Shopify but it has lots of organic growth and from mergers and acquisitions. They have grown their revenues 52%. They have 90% recurring revenue. Pretty bullish on it. It is very expensive right now trading at 40x 2020 enterprise value to revenue however.

Feels like this is Shopify 2.0. It has no profit or net income. It has very strong topline growth, making acquisitions, likes the CEO's management. Wait for a pullback. Size of your position should recognize that these stocks are expensive and hard to value, about 1-2%.

It has been on a pretty good run since March. They have gone out and made a few acquisitions which the market likes. They have tried to diversify into other areas of retail than restaurants. You don't want to be chasing this stock up at this level, perhaps take some profits. They are in an evolving payment space. It is too high for him to buy.

(A Top Pick Jan 23/20, Up 14%) It's been a crazy ride, bouncing up and down sharply since its IPO then during Covid. It delivered a stunning second quarter in the middle of the pandemic, growing 70% which stunned the markets. They shifted business online. They put in a U.S. IPO which investors gobbled up and are calling it the next Shopify. Sitting on a lot of cash, they just did a nice acquisition in the U.S. to bulk up their revenue. Management knows what they're doing.

Good stock. Models 45% revenue growth, similar to Shopify but at half the multiple. Better opportunities to buy tech as value plays are starting to work. Wouldn't buy it today, but try to buy under $50, say $48.

Has done very well, considering their business is retail business payments. Recent earnings beat the street. They just did a listing in the U.S. which will likely raise valuations, but that valuation is as bad as, say, Shopify. It's not without its risks. The sector has very high valuations.
