Review of Lightspeed Commerce Inc.
JUL 17, 2025 - The company’s growth also slowed down while still generating negative free cash flow and profitability. In addition, valuation for Fintech companies declined meaningfully, making the share price today still much lower than its IPO price in 2019. The company has been acquisitive in the past, but we think the track record of M&A is quite poor, given a meaningful goodwill write-off LSPD recently reported in the most recent quarter. It has a strong balance sheet with almost a quarter of the company’s market capitalization in cash. We see potential for LSPD to be acquired by other large Fintech companies. That being said, that catalyst alone can’t be a worthwhile investment thesis for LSPD. To be conservative, we are downgrading our rating by one notch to a ‘C+‘.

TS has sent out a notice of a class action settlement of 11 million, less around 3 million in legal fees, etc. You need to have invested in the shares between Mar 7, 2019 and Nov 3, 2021 and put in your claim by Mar 4th, 2026. I'm aware that often these claims are reduced to small amounts per client once all the dust settles, so I'm wondering if you've any idea how many potential claims could be expected based on the volume of shares sold at the time? Ditto for SNAP, which covers share holders from Feb 5, 2021 to Oct 21, 2021 who can claim by May 6, 2026. Any thoughts on either tickers are most welcome! Thank you for always having the answers we seek!
