In the Q3 2020 Investor Letter, Wasatch highlighted a few stocks and Kornit Digital Ltd. (NASDAQ:KRNT) is one of them. Kornit Digital Ltd. (NASDAQ:KRNT) is an Israeli-American international manufacturing company. Year-to-date, Kornit Digital Ltd. (NASDAQ:KRNT) stock gained 158.4% and on December 24th it had a closing price of $88.45. Here is what Wasatch said:
“Among tech-related companies that aren’t classified as IT businesses, we favor Kornit Digital Ltd. (KRNT)—an Israeli-American company that appears in the industrials sector. Kornit produces proprietary digital-printing equipment for the textile industry. Shares of the company rose after the CEO said he expected sales growth to reaccelerate as governments lift coronavirusrelated restrictions on businesses. The CEO also noted that disruptions tied to the virus had hastened the shift to e-commerce and exposed inherent supply-chain challenges faced by traditional retail. We think Kornit is positioned to benefit as the growing need for flexible inventory management drives increased adoption of ondemand digital-production solutions.
Although Kornit operates in an old-line manufacturing segment, the company is benefiting from the implementation of a high-tech webbased system that simplifies textile printing. Kornit manages the design and manufacturing of the printers, but the company’s customers—including Amazon.com and Nike—operate the printers to meet specific needs for the quick turnaround of both large and small jobs. Even before the pandemic, Kornit had an annualized revenue growth rate of 18% for the three years ended in 2019. Currently, we believe the company and the market are still very early in their development.”
