Latest post - Concentrix $CNXC (Concentrix Corporation) One of of large, long term holdings currently held at a significant loss. I decided to revisit the investment thesis and see if it still holds. I am pasting the conclusion below. For the full article - please follow the link: hugomanenti.substack.com/p/concentrix-ai-roadkill-or-deep-value?utm_source=etoro&utm_medium=social -------------------------- My conclusion today remains strangely similar to two years ago. Concentrix does not need heroic growth to justify a materially higher valuation. It simply needs to: (1) continue growing modestly, (2) execute on its margin guidance, and (3) continue to reduce debt and buy back shares. The last two years have not been clean: margin guidance was missed repeatedly, and debt reduction has been slower than I would have liked as transition costs crept up. That’s fair criticism. But the core thesis – that AI would not destroy the business – has held. Revenue is growing. The company is winning new business. AI is being integrated, not resisted. Low-complexity work has been reduced to just 5% of the business. The quality of revenue has never been higher. I still believe this is a business that is more likely to emerge as an AI winner than an AI casualty. The market is taking much longer than I expected to recognise it – which means my timing was poor. But at under 3x earnings, with the business still growing and generating significant free cash flow, I remain comfortable holding the position. The next year only needs to show progress on margins for the stock to work very well.
