As of Jul 31, 2026. Market Open.
Price target in 12 months of $182.25, long runway. Government side is massive, so fully integrated into so many defense systems around the world. Needs to strengthen enterprise side. CEO's abruptness turns people off in the way Elon Musk does. Definitely buy some here, more ~$115, and the rest ~$105.
Executing well. Increasingly employing AI in day-to-day operations. Growing use in government/defense plus strong adoption by commercial customers.
Proving it can turn demand into profit and cashflow. Revenue grew an exceptional 85% last quarter. Valuation remains her biggest concern (roughly 40x next year's sales), leaving little room for disappointment/error. Be cautious.
The only software name he owns. Beaten down because it's put in the software bucket, plus relatively expensive compared to peers. Sometimes you have to pay up for a best-in-class asset. Last quarter's numbers blew it out of the water. Growing 80% YOY, very profitable.
Accelerating commercial revenue on top of government contracts. Helping companies adopt AI.
Rising profit margins and cash flow. Making a lot of noise in AI, so watch for their AI news when they report in early November. They attract the best clients in gen AI. They've had some new contracts. Two-thirds of revenue are from 20 clients, and 27% from the top 3, so they need to broaden. Watching, but will buy on dips. Expects a lot of volatility. Is now overvalued. Class-action lawsuits are a concern.
