A Cheap Data Management Play? Unicorns DO Exist
Trading Below 5x Revenue and Reaching a Profitability Inflection

Welcome to the VIP edition newsletter from ALPHA, our Stock Deep Dive! In this edition, you’ll read an in-depth analysis of a great stock we’ve been watching: 👇
Stock Deep Dive: AvePoint (AVPT-US, $1.5B MCAP)
What if I told you that software stocks that trade under 5x EV/Revenue actually exist? Welcome, my friend, to the world of cheap software.
Now - I know the word cheap may sometimes imply something of lesser value, but this is surely not the case here. Sometimes stocks are cheap for a reason, also known as value traps.
However, inexpensive (cheap) stocks can become attractive buying opportunities whenever there is a narrative change. Something on the horizon will have an inflection point in the stock price, usually due to 1) Fundamentals or 2) The Multiple (sentiment/narrative).
The stock pick this week has flavors of both.
It’s a sub-$2B Mcap name to match. Every large cap starts as small, but this one might be acquired before then.
Without further ado, let’s jump right in!
