In the said letter, Greenhaven Road Capital highlighted a few stocks and Digital Turbine Inc. (NASDAQ:APPS) is one of them. Digital Turbine Inc. (NASDAQ:APPS) is a software company. Year-to-date, Digital Turbine Inc. (NASDAQ:APPS) stock gained 380.7% and on November 3rd it had a closing price of $34.27. Here is what Greenhaven Road Capital said:
“Digital Turbine (APPS) – In round numbers, the share price for Digital Turbine almost tripled during the quarter. What happened? The company enjoys a unique place in the mobile phone ecosystem as it is the only company embedded into the Android operating system to allow for app downloading. Digital Turbine sits between major carriers, such as Verizon and AT&T, and companies, such as Netflix and Amazon, that want their apps pre-installed on Android phones. With 6,000 apps being added per day to the Android platform, demand for the limited number of app slots has only increased. Fortunately for Digital Turbine, both the number of devices and revenue per device continue to improve, which helped drive up the share price. However, I think the larger driver was that earlier this year, the company acquired Mobile Posse, which provides “media & advertising solutions for operator & OEM partners while delivering richer, more relevant content to end users.” This is a content business that generates substantial recurring revenue over the life of the phone and is not as tied to activations/new phone sales as the historical app install business is. Mobile Posse’s recurring revenue nature is attractive, as is the potential to sell Mobile Posse products into the existing Digital Turbine base and vice versa. I believe that this remains a very well-positioned company with the possibility that cross-selling will yield step function increases in growth if successful.”
