Investor Insights

This summary was created by AI, based on 8 opinions in the last 12 months.

Experts have mixed opinions on Lightspeed Commerce Inc (LSPD-T). While some believe it could be a top pick due to potential buyout and focus on larger customers, others express concerns about volatility, management turnover, and competition in the payment technology space. The company's recent CEO replacement has provided some hope for stability, but there is uncertainty about its growth plan execution. Despite positive EBITDA and potential high-margin business in payment services, there are reservations about its cash flow and revenue growth. The stock has seen a bounce in recent weeks, but the outlook is still uncertain, with some experts advising to wait for more deliverables before investing.

Consensus
Mixed
Valuation
Fair Value
BUY

Restructuring to focus on higher-profitability segments. Yesterday's announcement on job cuts, though painful, was the right business decision. Strategic review is ongoing. Pretty good assets, need to focus operations.

Technology
TOP PICK

A top pick because it could be bought out. Look at Nuvei. Is down 85% from its peak. LSPD is focusing more on larger customers. They finally broke even on cash. If a deal happens it will happen in 3-6 months, or else shares fall.

(Analysts’ price target is $24.82)
Technology
SELL
Down 60%. Hold, or sell and move on?

If you don't own, don't buy. If you already own it, and it's in a registered portfolio, perhaps hold on (as you can't take advantage of capital losses). In a non-registered portfolio, there are better places to get more visibility for the future.

Technology
DON'T BUY

One product, the POS platform. Too volatile and uncertain. Earnings and revenues are lumpy. Better choices elsewhere, despite the low valuation. He needs more sustainability and more product offerings. Management turnover.

Technology
DON'T BUY

Payment technology business a tough place to invest in. Hard to determine who will be winner in this space. Also, a lot of competition which makes it hard to earn profits. Better options for investors in the markets. 

Technology
RISKY

Replaced CEO with founder, hopefully will provide some stability. 12-month price target of $22. Volatile. Favours SHOP on e-commerce. 

Technology
HOLD

Canadian based restaurant and retail software provider. Company not executing on growth plan. Chas flow and revenue growth not growing. New CEO coming back could be an inflection point going forward. Too early to tell on growth going forward. Watching stock, but will wait to investment( more deliverables achieved).

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jun 01/22, Down 14%)

They've had a rough 2 years, but reported their first quarter of positive EBITDA last quarter.. Are focusing on payment services, with 25% penetration among customers. It's a high-margin business and numbers should continue to improve. He likes it.

Technology
BUY ON WEAKNESS

Nice bounce over last 7-8 weeks. Bit of runway left. Very highly geared to interest rates. Buy on dips: closer to $24-25, and if you're lucky $21-21.50.

(Analysts’ price target is $31.50)
Technology
TRADE
Sell puts?

Very volatile. Maybe, doesn't know. Are a smaller Shopify. A small holding for him. Would like to see consistent reporting and becoming profitable. Are in a competitive space, too.  Okay as a trade, though. Buy at $17.50, then more at $17.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jul 04/22, Down 28%)

Nonprofitable tech is taking it on the chin. Likes it. Continues to grow revenue. Company is projecting EBITDA-positive in 18 months. Interest rate direction can significantly impact what investors are looking for in a stock.

Technology
COMMENT
SHOP bounce vs. LSPD lagging.

Part of that is the size. US investors probably don't know LSPD, whereas they do know SHOP. SHOP is the 800-pound gorilla in Canada and the US for small companies that run their own website, as well as for big companies that run a website and do e-commerce. 

LSPD has more of a niche in restaurants. They will be successful over time, but there have been challenges with restaurants. Over time, it should catch up to SHOP as far as percentage return goes.

Technology
BUY ON WEAKNESS

It's done pretty well, though many have lowered their expectations. He targets $24. It was a history with financial reporting, so do your homework on this. Buy this around $22, then add more below $20.

Technology
DON'T BUY

Too narrow a focus for him. High valuation. Profitability is here and there. Lots of room for expansion. He likes tech companies with better recurring revenue and lower price points.

Technology
PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jun 01/22, Down 28%)

Technology sector faced major headwinds with rising interest rates.
Believes turnover in restaurant industry contributor to business slowdown.
