Lightspeed Commerce Inc. (LSPD-N) is facing significant challenges in a competitive environment characterized by low margins, leading to skepticism from at least one expert regarding management and the company's ability to navigate its future. The company's stock initially surged post-IPO, leveraging its high valuation to pursue a series of acquisitions. However, market conditions shifted dramatically, causing the stock to decline substantially. Now, with a less favorable stock price, any future acquisitions may be more difficult to finance. Despite these hurdles, there is a silver lining as the company is reportedly undertaking a strategic review, which raises the possibility of a sale, imparting a certain premium on the stock as a result. Overall, while there are concerns about its operational landscape and competitive positioning, the potential for a strategic exit keeps some hope alive for stakeholders.
The stock went straight up after its IPO and it used its highly valued paper to make many acquisitions. But the market changed, the stock went way down and acquisitions would have to be made with much less share value. There was an expectation that it might be the next Shopify but this didn't happen. They're now keeping the balance sheet OK and doing a strategic review since the company might be sold. It has a premium because of that possibility.
It is part of a common theme - a lot of tech related higher multiple stocks are in for tougher times. We had a long tech cycle which fell substantially last year. The sector has had a nice bounce this year but has some proving to do. With yields on 10 and 30 year bonds ticking higher it becomes less attractive for investors to pay for higher multiples. Also many people have bought at higher prices and are anxious to sell if it moves higher to get some or all of their money back. This type of investor has to be cleared out before a sustained rally.

He doesn't like the space which has quite a few competitors and low margins. Also is not a fan of management. It could get taken out.
