The top publicly traded software companies have surged in the last few weeks. MongoDB (MDB), Snowflake (SNOW), DataDog (DDOG), Cloudflare (NET), & ServiceNow (NOW) have watched their forward multiples surge by 42% to 112% since the beginning of the year. The bond market has priced in a roughly 1% to 1.25% cut in the next 24 months. When interest rates fall, high-growth software surges. Three peculiar elements characterize this market surge:
Without a material change in the overall multiples of the public market, I don’t expect to see a pricing change in the private market - even if the fastest-growing companies fly higher due to a tailwind from shifting monetary policy. Both the public & private capital markets await signs of buyer strength in the form of greater expansion rates & faster sales cycles. |
