Despite sinking this past year and remaining some 65% off record highs, recent results point to signs why an investor like Tremblant might be stepping in.Q2 generated about $794.8 million in revenue in 2025, up roughly 14% year over year, with subscription revenue accounting for the bulk of its business and the company posting its second-strongest bookings quarter ever. Subscription annualized recurring revenue climbed to about $780.1 million, also rising 14% year over year, while backlog reached roughly $2.7 billion as banks continued signing long-term digital banking contracts.And profitability is beginning to follow that growth. Q2 reported GAAP net income of about $52 million for the year after posting a $38.5 million loss in 2024.Within the broader portfolio, the position also fits a pattern. Tremblant holds several consumer and technology platforms where software platforms capture long-term ecosystem value. So if it saw strength in Q2, it makes sense why it would’ve made such a lofty bet.About the AuthorJonathan Ponciano is a contributing stock market analyst at The Motley Fool.
