AoI Winners Sub - Trends

Enterprises and Small-Medium sized Businesses are in the process of going through a digital transformation to ensure they stay at the forefront of their industry and remain relevant.

20 The IT market is a large addressable market at ~$2.1 Trillion. IT spending is likely to grow in 2018 with tax cuts freeing up more dollars to fund big strategic investments in technology. Within IT budgets, software is taking share, with deflation in hardware freeing up capital. Within software, the shift to the cloud continues to see SaaS taking market share.

“SaaS IS EATING THE WORLD”

KEY STOCK IDEA: SERVICENOW (LONG)

ServiceNow (NOW) is a provider of cloud-based service management and business management solutions. It leverages a service-orientated workflow platform to provide out-of-the box apps, alongside custom development tools, to manage and automate internal processes.

Key Stock Service Now

Key Details Market Cap: US$24.9bn Listed: US Revenue 2017e: US$1.9bn Qualitative Tests Growth: The Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) market is forecast to grow at an 18%+ CAGR over the next 4yrs. We expect NOW to beat this given they are taking market share as they have become the standard in the IT Service Management (ITSM). Their non-ITSM revenue is growing even faster than their core business. Economic Leverage: NOW has a growth framework to 2020, where they will look to grow operating margins by 2-3ppts for high revenue growth (35%+), 3-4ppts for 30-35% revenue growth and 4-5ppts for <30% growth. Sustainability: The wider TAM that NOW is targeting is ~$80bn so there is a long runway ahead. Control: The founder is on the board, but there is no controlling shareholder. Customer Perception: NOW is the standard in IT Services Management, renewal rates are very high and they are closing in

  • n 50% penetration of the Global 2000 companies as customers.

Quantitative Tests Earnings upside: US tax reform provides a major fillip for IT spending across corporate America, providing a good backdrop for revenue acceleration. Multiple upside: Given the profitability metrics and revenue growth, the EV/FCF multiple could hold at just above 30x in 2020, which is were it is today for 2018. Catalysts / Sizing: Results, product launches. Outcome Stock discovered: January 2018.
