In the Q1 2021 Investor Letter, the fund highlighted a few stocks and Everbridge Inc. (NASDAQ:EVBG) is one of them. Everbridge Inc. (NASDAQ:EVBG) is a software company. In the last three months, Everbridge Inc. (NASDAQ:EVBG) stock lost 23% and on May 12th it had a closing price of $114.69. Here is what the fund said:
“Everbridge, Inc. provides a cloud-based software solution to companies for critical event management (“CEM”) as well as general population alerts for public authorities. Shares declined during the first quarter as part of the broader market rotation from high-valuation software stocks coupled with continued pandemic-related pressure on Everbridge’s organic growth rates. We retain conviction given the company’s significant lead over its competition and the early stage of CEM adoption, with just 2% of Everbridge’s 5,000-plus population alert customers having adopted CEM thus far.”
