This summary was created by AI, based on 7 opinions in the last 12 months.

Lightspeed Commerce Inc (LSPD-T) is currently experiencing significant challenges in a competitive software market. Analysts indicate volatility in its price, with various price targets, including a notably high $30.35 from one review, which contrasts sharply with the general sentiment pointing to a more conservative target of $18.05. The stock has witnessed breakdowns in support levels, with discussions of potential further declines to $17. Despite a history as a former 'darling' in the tech space, recent management changes and lack of positive momentum over consecutive quarters have raised concerns. Some experts see promise in its low valuation as it trades at about 2x sales, particularly when generating positive cash flow, but they stress caution as a turnaround has yet to be validated amidst rumors and restructuring efforts that have yet to yield visible improvements.

BUY

Billy Kawasaki’s Insights - Picks from 5i Research. The company has client size and vertical focus advantage compared to others in the field. They can charge a higher price point from their large medium sized businesses. Although in-store purchases remain a headwind, they adapted well on the e-commerce size. Unlock Premium - Try 5i Free

BUY

Billy Kawasaki’s Insights - Picks from 5i Research. The company started trading in the US today. There may be some volatility as it is a small company by US standards, but investors in the states might be willing to pay more for the valuation potential. Some investors might buy it just in case it is the next Shopify. Unlock Premium - Try 5i Free

COMMENT
The average analyst target is $46/share. Most signals are a buy. He does not know enough about its valuation.
TOP PICK
Before the pandemic, this was gaining traction, but COVID scared investors over restaurants closing. So, LSPD sold off, but now restaurants are coming back online with many boasting busy take-out and patio business. Those that survive must be effecient, and LSPD can help that. LSPD should pick up business in the future. (Analysts’ price target is $46.13)

PARTIAL BUY
This company has really peaked his interest and he took a position recently. He thinks they will achieve profitability soon. You can build a position on weakness. He took a half position, while he continues to learn about the company. Their customers are in the industries that have been hit the hardest. He is impressed by management.
DON'T BUY
It is growing quite quickly right now. It does not really have any profit, so the challenge is on valuation. You are bidding on the growth, or ultimately an acquisition. One of the challenges of buying high priced stocks after a run is whether you will be the one left holding the bag at the end of the day. He thinks it is being pushed up because people want to buy Canadian.
DON'T BUY
It's not his type of stock, because it trades at a huge multiple and doesn't generate revenues yet. But he traded it in the spring and made a quick profit--he couldn't resist. It fell so far and rose so fast. They have a good POS system, but depend on restaurants and bars which of course are a challenged sector. He expects a slowdown for LSPD in coming quarters, so watch their future guidance. The valuation is too high.
DON'T BUY
It is a growth-at-any-price stock. It scores pretty poorly on valuation. It missed on the last quarter. It is volatile. It has a good trend, however.
HOLD
A great success story out of Montreal. The rebound was so rapid in March, that they missed the chance to buy. Their involvement in cloud based POS resulted in analysts slashing earnings estimates and there is still an element of risk. In a few months he hope those concerns will appear to be a bump in the road. He thinks there is still a lot of growth and they may be some acquisition opportunities for them as well. A hold for now.
HOLD
Buy more on weakness? There were a couple of chances to buy on pullbacks. The worst case scenario is that their customers were not able to return to business. If you were brave to buy back in mid-March you were rewarded. They just reported earnings and they beat expectations. Retailers were still staying with them. He continues to hold it. Coming out of the pandemic, clients will need efficient technology like this to survive. Beware of the volatility.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
A great success story out of Montreal. They specialize in hospitality point of sale and their earnings report was very positive. They are doing something right and the adoption of their technology is growing -- over 600,000 merchants use their product. Maybe a little rich today.
WAIT
They reported overnight with numbers better than expected. They have lots of cash. They layer in technology to bricks and mortar businesses. They will be a bit stressed based on the COVID shut down but it sets up well for the long term. Be patient on it. Wait for people to get back into restaurants.
COMMENT

They don't fit his investing criteria. LSPD's topline has been shooting up, but they aren't yet profitable. They're like Shopify. He looks for companies that generate return on capital for three years in a row--this shows consistency and profitability. That said, LSPD could do quite well. Caveat: watch your allocation of LSPD in your portfolio with stocks like this--they can soar or plunge more than most other stocks and impact your portfolio. So, if you buy this, buy an appropriate amount.

DON'T BUY
He did a trade, buying near the March low then exiting around $20. Remember: LSPD's clients are mostly restaurants and bars, a sector hard hit by the pandemic. Many won't come back. There could be negative growth with LSPD, and volatile. Long-term, though, there may be an opportunity below $20.
