While we’re cognizant of Globant’s challenging IT Consulting industry backdrop, we think the valuation is attractive relative to its long-term growth potential as the company continues to deliver best-in-class revenue and profit growth, bucking broader industry trends. Finally, we modestly added to our small position in Paycom Software following our recent meeting with the founder/CEO and CFO.”
