Shares skyrocketed in the years through 2024, but they’ve crashed more than 70% since. The company operates a massive cloud-based trading network that connects thousands of retailers and suppliers, helping automate order fulfillment, compliance, and analytics across omnichannel retail. Importantly, that network effect has helped the firm deliver strong consistency. The fourth quarter marked the firm’s 100th consecutive quarter of topline growth, with revenue that reached $192.7 million, up 13% year over year, while full-year revenue climbed to $751.5 million. Profitability also improved, with annual net income rising to $93.3 million and adjusted EBITDA continuing to scale alongside the company’s recurring revenue base.Still, slowing growth and broader macroeconomic uncertainty, particularly around once high-flying software firms has been brutal for sentiment, and it seems the dismal stock performance may have led this investor to drastically cut its stake.About the AuthorJonathan Ponciano is a contributing stock market analyst at The Motley Fool.
