Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 48% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published July 21, 2025
The stock is up 75% this year but has cooled to about $52, an area where buyers often step in. Results due 22 Jul could move the price quickly, and a new five-year AI partnership with Amazon Web Services could boost growth for years. Shares cost 4.8 times next-year sales versus 8 times for rivals, and sales beat forecasts by 33%. A rise toward $70 in the next few months looks realistic.
Primary drivers
- 5-year AI deal with Amazon could lift cloud sales and make competitors think twice.
- 22 Jul earnings report is close and may push the stock up quickly.
- Price has settled into a base pattern that often leads to fresh upward moves.
- Valued at 4.8x next year's sales, roughly 40% below similar software firms.
