Internet leader at a bargain price
15 August 2024
The company featured in this report has pulled off what most other Internet companies can only dream of:
- Its name has literally defined its own category.
- Over 80% of its web traffic is organic or direct.
- Its revenue per employee is nearly 3x that of its peer average.
However, it has hit a weak patch lately:
- After growing 100% in two years, its recent growth has been 0%.
- Corporate behemoths from around the world have tried to take market share.
- Management had gotten a bit carried away with expensive acquisitions, and these had to be wound down.
As a result, its stock is currently down 85%.
Still, there is a lot of inherent strength to the company:
- Highly cash-generative, with 90% of its EBITDA converting to free cash flow.
- Tremendous loyalty among its most important user group.
- The brand remains category-defining.
Right now, the market has lost interest, and barely anyone even pays attention – except one particular investor who has a golden track record in contrarian technology investing. The investor in question recently mopped up shares to become the single-largest shareholder – and bought even more in the days before this report came out!
If you missed buying Meta or Spotify in 2022, this is a similar case to look at.
