TLND STOCK WRITE UP


TLND (TALEND SA)

  • P/E: N/A
  • GAAP DILUTED Y-O-Y EPS GROWTH LAST QUARTER: $.16
  • SECTOR: TECHNOLOGY SERVICES
  • ASSETS-LIABILITIES: 1.14
  • DIVIDEND: none

Talend is a software company producing products to integrate mass data, and information from the cloud. Founded in 2005, the international company went public 7/29/2016. Talend is valued based on expectations, as it is not yet profitable, and the company is growing at a fast rate.
In the most recent quarter, Talend increased its revenue by 45% on a year-over-year basis. The company substantially reduced the net loss per share with its IPO, as there has been a large increase in the amount of shares outstanding. Adjusted for the increase in shares, the company reduced their losses $.16 per share, or 50%, in the last quarter. With the IPO, the company increased its cash pile by 13 times the amount they had previously. The company reported its “borrowings” decreased to an almost negligible level, and they announced a substantial increase in their cash used to repay "borrowings". It appears the company utilized cash acquired in the IPO to repay debt, and has paid off almost all of their debt, and the company still has a large amount of cash remaining. The company also received a tax credit in the last quarter, boosting their income from the comparable quarter of last year. Gross margins decreased by 2% on a year-over-year basis, and the company increased its spending in sales and marketing more than its increases in R&D and administrative costs. The company is predicting revenue of $143.5 million for FY 2017, up from 105.7 million in 2016.
The company's CEO, Mike Tuchen, assumed office in 2013, and had previously served as a CEO and executive at rapid7 and Microsoft, respectively. On March 7. 2017, the company filed for a second offering, presumably to raise more cash. With 617 employees in 2016, the company is a small force attempting to expand its business and pay off debt with aggressive marketing and accrual of cash.
Valued based on expectations rather than profits, TLND has risen approximately 21% since going public. Between 2015 and 2016, the company increased earnings 29%, compared to 19% between 2014 and 2015. If the company holds true to its guidance, the FY 2017 revenue gain will be 26% over 2016. Investors do not yet have a timetable for when the company will become profitable.

ONE UP ON WALL STREET SUMMARY

ONE UP ON WALL STREET PETER LYNCH SUMMARY Lynch opens the book with the contention that the average investor can perform as well as most experts.  He dubs stocks that earn ten times of initial investment amount as "tenbaggers."  Money for investing can be saved through minor lifestyle adjustments.  Although the author attends many functions with high-level market professionals, he still finds many of his stock picks in his everyday life.  The novel is divided into three portions: preparing to invest, picking winners, and long-term view.  He states that there is no such thing as a born stockpicker, and that picking stocks is an art rather than a science, and as such cannot be quantified.
