Sprout Social

SPT

Market cap $407M

Sprout Social trades at just over 7x forward earnings and is down 95% from 2021 highs, reflecting deep skepticism about SaaS resilience versus AI disruption. SPT's management is proactively integrating AI to enhance its platform, countering fears of SaaS obsolescence and leveraging a vast data set from two billion daily messages. Insider buying, a robust balance sheet, and potential M&A interest (e.g., Adobe) support a value thesis despite ongoing market concerns about AI replacement risk.

Sprout Social has lost ~75% of its value in the past year amid sector-wide software selloffs and AI-driven competitive fears. I downgrade SPT to neutral, as its bargain valuation is now common in software, and execution remains shaky despite upmarket customer growth. SPT targets a 'Rule of 30' by Q4 FY27, but current net retention is flat (~100%), and expansion has stalled, weighing on growth prospects.

Sprout Social Inc (NASDAQ: SPT) on Thursday reported upbeat earnings for the fourth quarter.
