Rewey Asset Management Chip Rewey | “We initiated a position in Donnelley Financial Solutions (DFIN), a provider of capital markets and compliance-related technology solutions. The company is transitioning toward a software-as-a-service model for governance reporting, M&A filings and IPO registrations, which has reduced investor visibility and contributed to undervaluation. While near-term results were obscured by pension termination charges and the impact of a government shutdown, software solutions revenue grew 10% in 3Q25, with compliance solutions up 16%. Gross margins expanded to 62.7%, reflecting the higher profitability of the software model. DFIN maintains a strong balance sheet with low leverage and significant free cash flow, enabling aggressive share repurchases. We set a conservative price target of $66, implying meaningful upside as investors gain confidence in the stability and growth of the software-driven business. BSD Analysis: Donnelley provides compliance and reporting software that companies can't skip. Regulatory deadlines don't move for sentiment. Revenue is recurring and sticky once workflows are embedded. Growth is modest but reliable. Investors ignore compliance businesses as boring. Yet switching risks are real and avoided. Margins improve with software mix. This is governance infrastructure, not publishing nostalgia. Regulation prints money quietly.” | BULL | Q4 2025 Jan 1, 2026 | View Pitch |
O'Keefe Stevens Advisory, Inc Dominick D'Angelo | “The manager decided to exit DFIN after data analysis revealed a structural market share loss to competitor Workiva. The analysis showed that DFIN's customer base is increasingly skewed towards smaller, higher-risk issuers, while Workiva continues to dominate larger issuers.” | BEAR | Q3 2025 Oct 9, 2025 | View Pitch |
