Meridian Funds made the following comment about Momentive Global Inc. (NASDAQ:MNTV) in its Q3 2022 investor letter:
“Momentive Global Inc. (NASDAQ:MNTV) develops survey software that enables organizations to collect and analyze feedback and insights. Its most recognized brand is the online survey tool SurveyMonkey. Momentive offers customers a free, self-service service software solution and then applies an upsell strategy to convert customers to a more robust, paid version of the product. By investing profits from this self-service business into its enterprise-grade product, Momentive has been able to build an enterprise business that now makes up 37% of total revenues. The stock traded lower during the quarter amid signs of slowing revenue growth. Although the company’s second-quarter financial results showed a 10% year-overyear increase in total revenue, this was slightly below analysts’ consensus estimates. Management remains focused on managing costs and reducing operating expenses, giving us confidence that operating margins in the second half of the year will continue to improve. Adding to our optimism is the company’s commitment to increasing shareholder value through stock buybacks, as demonstrated by its continued execution of a $200 million stock repurchase program launched earlier this year. We’re also excited about Momentive’s enterprise business segment, which grew 30% in the second quarter. We increased our position in the stock during the period based on weakness in the share price.”
