Meridian Growth Fund ArrowMark Colorado Holdings, LLC | “Alight, Inc. is a leading cloud-based human capital technology provider of enterprise-level software that helps businesses and their employees manage critical human resources functions. Through its investments in software and automation, Alight has built a distinct advantage that allows its customers to deliver HR services at a much lower cost while providing a better experience for employees. The stock underperformed during the quarter following disappointing sales and lowered revenue guidance. A year-long technology transformation— migrating services to the cloud, integrating AI capabilities, and coinciding with CEO and CFO changes—proved more disruptive than anticipated. Customer retention declined from ~98% to ~93%, and new sales remained soft amid execution challenges and a weaker macro environment. Cost controls have stabilized EBITDA, but revenue normalization may take years rather than quarters. Given this mixed outlook, but recognizing the stock's compelling valuation, we reduced our position during the period. :contentReference[oaicite:10]{index=10} BSD Analysis: Execution risk is now the core debate—product migration and leadership turnover are weighing on growth and retention. With EBITDA stabilized, deleveraging and renewal cycles could be medium-term fixes, but near-term topline remains challenged. Until bookings inflect, risk/reward skews cautious.” | BULL | Q3 2025 Sep 30, 2025 | View Pitch |
Meridian Small Cap Growth Fund Chad Meade | “Alight underperformed during the quarter following disappointing sales and lowered revenue guidance. Its year-long technology transformation—including migrating services to the cloud and integrating AI—proved more disruptive than expected. Customer retention declined from ~98% to ~93%, while execution challenges and a weak macro backdrop dampened sales. Despite cost controls stabilizing EBITDA, management warned that normalization could take years. The fund reduced its position during the quarter. BSD Analysis: Meridian views Alight's underperformance as indicative of deeper structural challenges in its service delivery transformation. While cloud migration and AI integration should eventually improve efficiency, the current friction from customer attrition and delayed implementation cycles has impaired near-term revenue visibility. At 5x EBITDA, valuation appears inexpensive, but the lack of meaningful top-line momentum suggests value could remain trapped. For long-term investors, success hinges on stabilizing retention, accelerating AI-driven automation, and demonstrating sustained margin recovery. Until then, the risk/reward balance remains skewed toward caution.” | BULL | Q3 2025 Sep 30, 2025 | View Pitch |
Greenlight Capital Greenlight Capital, Inc. | “Alight experienced share price weakness due to underperformance in non-core business segments and loss of management credibility following consecutive quarter disappointments. An activist investor has engaged with the company, leading the manager to expect a leadership change or sale.” | BULL | Q2 2024 Jun 30, 2024 | View Pitch |
