DND is severely undervalued as a SaaS cloud based solution versus other like minded companies....see below for details . This is taken from a Aug 12 2020 article....
A high-growth IPO
Dye & Durham stock is a top bet for multiple reasons. We have seen how the company has grown revenue and earnings at a staggering pace in the last few years. It is a high-growth tech company that is profitable with a market cap of $680 million. This means its trading at a trailing price-to-sales multiple of 15, which is reasonable for a growth stock.
Other Canadian tech stocks such as Shopify, Lightspeed, and Kinaxis have trailing price-to-sales multiple of 73.6, 30.4, and 27, respectively. DND has already reported sales of $60 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2020.
Investing in IPOs carries considerable risks, especially in the initial months when stock prices are volatile. However, DND is well poised to increase investor wealth multi-fold given its high profit margins, strong revenue growth, expanding suite of software applications, and focus on acquisitions.
