In the Q3 2020 Investor Letter, Brown Capital Management highlighted a few stocks and Veeva Systems Inc (NYSE:VEEV) is one of them. Veeva Systems Inc (NYSE:VEEV) is a computer software company. Year-to-date, Veeva Systems Inc (NYSE:VEEV) stock gained 91.3% and on December 15th it had a closing price of $269.09. Here is what Brown Capital Management said:
“Veeva Systems provides cloud-based software to the global life-sciences industry. Veeva’s modern Customer Relationship Management (CRM) solution offers greater functionality and integration than competitors’, and has a dominant market position in the pharmaceutical market. Veeva Vault is an openended content management and collaboration platform on which the company has launched multiple successful products for the clinical side of life-sciences companies. These include eTMF (electronic Trial Master File), CTMS (Clinical Trial Management System), CDMS (Clinical Data Management System), regulatory, quality and safety-management solutions, all of which have significantly expanded the company’s market opportunity over time. Finally, Veeva has begun to sell solutions outside of life sciences in recent years, further growing its target market. Going forward, we see a large opportunity for cross-selling, continued innovation and market expansion.
During the quarter, Veeva again delivered strong revenue growth and cash-flow generation, with little impact from COVID-19-related shutdowns. The company’s customers, who are mostly in the life-sciences vertical, have been relatively unscathed in recent months, and continue to expand their use of Veeva products. The company’s outperformance during the quarter was likely driven by strong execution and growth, enhancing its position as a best-of-breed software company.”
