Forager International Shares Fund Steve Johnson | “Northsand is a Japanese information technology consulting firm focused on enterprise digital transformation and legacy IT modernization. The manager maintains a strong bullish stance on the company, which served as the fund's top performer for the quarter following a 90% share price surge, underpinned by secular domestic modernization tailwinds. The fundamental thesis is grounded in favorable supply-demand dynamics within corporate Japan, where decades-old legacy computer architectures require replacement amidst an acute shortage of skilled IT professionals. This structural talent deficit gives Northsand significant billing power and operating leverage; revenue roughly tripled and operating profit expanded fivefold over the two fiscal years ending January 2026, demonstrating exceptional incremental margins and strong returns on human capital. Key catalysts include corporate execution against management's guidance of 55% revenue growth and persistent enterprise IT capital expenditure. Primary risks include wage inflation for consulting talent, execution hurdles as headcounts scale rapidly, and potential slowdowns in corporate software migration budgets.” | BULL | Q3 2026 Oct 12, 2026 | View Pitch |
