I thought this was another great Baby Giants podcast. $PME has been on my watchlst a while now, and I felt that the pod really probed the key considerations on whether $PME can be a buy at the moment.
I add to this recent research by Goldman Sachs ("Solid update but further contract momentum required to drive valuation support; Sell"), who have identified a diminishing number of big accounts to be won, coupled with the relative lack of recent material deal newsflow, in concluding that valuation risk is skewed to downside. (Contrast this with the $2bn global TAM discussed on the pod).
Like many, I rue not having taken the plunge when the SP hit $15 early on in COVID. There's no denying the quality of earnings and the market leading position. But with current formard p/e of 50, there is too much downside even from today's depressed prices should it disappoint on top line growth.
It stays on my watchlist in the hope that if tech undergoes a further major correction due to Fed tightening following another high inflation report, then I have the capital to invest.
DISC: Not held.
