Red Violet Inc

Red Violet, Inc. (RDVT) rebounded in the quarter after falling victim to the prior quarter’s AI-driven sell-off in software stocks. The company leverages proprietary technologies and advanced analytics to deliver identity intelligence solutions used by financial, retail and law enforcement organizations to prevent fraud, acquire customers and mitigate risk. We view Red Violet as relatively insulated from AI disruption and took advantage of the earlier stock price decline to add to the position. Red Violet offers its services through a cloud-native software platform that offers insights and security that we believe would be nearly impossible to replicate. In addition, the company’s business model is highly scalable as the costs associated with the data used for its background checks are fixed, and we expect its margins to continue to improve as more customers utilize that data.

Red Violet (RDVT) has shown resilience and growth potential, particularly as it is not exposed to AI threats but rather benefits from AI trends through its custom-built AI-driven CORE platform. This platform allows for efficient profile building from billions of data points, ensuring accuracy and security that customers, such as banks and government agencies, require. The company reported strong second-quarter results, with management noting that April was an 'extremely strong month.' Additionally, the entry of Forewarn into the healthcare industry presents a significant revenue opportunity of $50 million to $75 million, which could lead to substantial profitability increases.

Despite previous concerns about how artificial intelligence (AI) might affect the industry, the manager believes there are moats around Red Violet’s business model that make it quite defensible.

Red Violet, a data analytics and identity intelligence provider, gained approximately 84%. The company's proprietary identity graph continues to take share in fraud prevention and investigative workflows, and it is one of the rare profitable, founder-driven software businesses available at the micro-cap end of the market. Red Violet continues to onboard customers at record levels which is a good leading indicator of future sales growth. Management is also integrating AI in product development, with the market seeing AI as a tailwind rather than a headwind for them.
