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.
King of the hill in data analytics solutions, especially in AI agents. Likes it for trading options around. On Monday and Tuesday, he sold some puts tiered just under the strike price. He's looking to pick it up at a good price. If it does go lower, you can sell some calls on top of it.
Has enough volatility that you can trade it. It is investable, too, but in the Trump era you need a stronger stomach.
