Cloud Monitoring & Analytics: Massive, Out-of-Favor, Sticky Revenue Growth

The company we review in this report provides a cloud-based data monitoring platform. The shares are out of favor (~50% below all-time highs) but revenue continues to grow rapidly, it is very sticky (land and expand) and this highly-ranked industry leader is supported by a massive secular trend (digitization and cloud migration). In this report, we analyze the company’s business model, its market opportunity, financials, valuation, risks, and then finally conclude with our strong opinion on whether the shares are worth considering for investment.

Two (2) New Buys: 1 Income Equity, 1 (More) Disciplined Growth

We do NOT buy or sell often, but this is just a quick update to let readers know we have made two more new purchases (the second and third new buys this week). One in our Income Equity Portfolio and now a second buy this week in our Disciplined Growth Portfolio. We’ll be completing our monthly portfolio tracker sheet updates shortly after April begins, but wanted to let readers know right away of these two additional new purchases.

Cloud Monitoring Company: Lots of Long-Term Upside, On Sale

If you have the luxury of being a long-term investor, you have a distinct advantage and highly lucrative opportunity that is not available to others. Specifically, you can benefit from long-term compound growth (the eighth wonder of the world), particularly as it pertains to powerful secular trends. In this report, we review one such business (a SaaS application monitoring company) that will benefit from cloud migration and digitization secular trends over the long-term, despite the recent steep share price sell off (buying opportunity) so far this year.
