Investment idea: Topicus.com Inc. $TOI.V

I believe the company can be a quality compounder going forward due to:

• Significant growth runway through M&A
• Strong profitability (~30% EBITDA margins)
• High ROIC (mid-twenties)
• Top-notch management
• $CSU.TO DNA 1/ Business

Topicus is a leading player within the European Vertical Market Software (VMS) sector, providing mission critical software to customers in niched (i.e. vertical) markets.

The company uses a decentralized model with >100 independent software BUs and 3 op. groups.

The market has been ruthless to many (growth-) stocks over the last couple of months.

My portfolio has taken an enormous beating, however I haven't felt as bullish as I am now on my names in a long time.

Quick thread on the valuation development of my portfolio's holdings 👇 1/ $SE

Cut in half since the beginning of November.

Crazy? Not if you ask me.

From the graph below you can see that the company has traded at >20x. EV/S for over a year.

At <10x. EV/S the stock seems more fair to me given its growth and margin profile.

[Thread] Kaspi

Kaspi is a technology and financial services company that ticks off many of my boxes.

The company is a beast, ready to dominate the Central Asian market through its Super App. While risky, $KSPI seems undervalued to me.

h/t @alexeliasson for stealing his idea😉 1/ Checklist

- High top line growth✅

- Profitable with room for margin expansion✅

- Secular tailwinds (fintech and e-commerce)✅

- Strong edge through network effects✅

- Founder-led with high insider ownership✅

- Cheap (FY 2021: 17.7x earnings)✅

- Early days✅
