Shift4 Payments Inc - Class A

Shift4 (FOUR) has demonstrated impressive growth, with revenue per share increasing by 122% and free cash flow per share rising by 227% over the past three years. Despite a 45% decline in share price recently, the company continues to thrive in fast-growing specialty verticals such as casinos, hotels, and restaurants. Management's strategy of combining organic development with acquisitions, including plans for international expansion, positions Shift4 well for future growth. The founder's significant ownership aligns interests with shareholders, and we anticipate free cash flow per share to grow at 15-20%+ annually, leading to an estimated annualized return of 20-25%+ in the medium term.

Shift4 Payments, Inc. is a U.S. company that provides payment processing solutions for hospitality, retail and ecommerce businesses. Fundamentals for the company remain solid, as organic revenues grew in the high-teens percentages in the most recent quarter. However, the stock has been down in part due to concerns about how a softer macroeconomic environment could affect the company. Additionally, investor sentiment on the company became less favorable after its acquisition of Global Blue, which is a foray into a new customer segment for Shift4. The acquisition also means the company is taking on more debt.

Shift4 Payments was one of our largest positions that saw strong quarterly results, contributing positively to our overall performance. The company is well-positioned to benefit from the ongoing trends in the technology sector, particularly with its exposure to AI and payment processing solutions. We believe that its growth trajectory remains robust, and we are optimistic about its potential to capture market share in a rapidly evolving landscape.
