In this webinar, Portfolio Managers, David Barr, Amar Pandya, and Associate Client PM Laura Baker will share why they are excited about the prospects for small caps, particularly within software.
They will discuss the recent shift in investor sentiment as markets reassess expectations around artificial intelligence and the impact this has had on software valuations. While concerns have surfaced that AI could disrupt traditional software models, we believe this view is overly simplistic.
With the resulting pullback widening the gap between price and intrinsic value across select small cap software companies, the team will outline where they see opportunity emerging for disciplined, long-term investors.
What will be discussedÂ
- AI is a core long-term equity investment theme for Pender
- How to forecast identify winners and losers / how we identify companies viewed as beneficiaries of the global AI boom vs AI related risks
E.g. companies with proprietary data and scalable platforms, directly tying AI to value creation. - Rapid AI adoption is unlocking new efficiencies, redefining competitive moats, and creating outsized growth opportunities.
- How AI capital flows are monetized beyond pure software plays e.g. indirectly via infrastructure, energy, and capital spending
- Negative sentiment / market dislocations (driven partly by AI dynamics) to attractive forward return opportunities for small caps.
