The London Company Small Cap The London Company of Virginia, LLC | “We elected to exit DV given it was a stub position and we had higher conviction elsewhere. Over time, the business demonstrated greater earnings variability and less visibility than anticipated, with results increasingly influenced by cyclical brand advertising budgets. At the same time, execution shortfalls reduced our confidence in management, and our assessment of ad verification evolved, particularly in a tighter spending environment, where it proved less mission-critical than initially expected. BSD Analysis: DoubleVerify monetizes trust in digital advertising, which becomes more valuable as fraud and opaque metrics proliferate. Verification is a tax on bad behavior, and bad behavior isn't going away. Advertisers don't cut verification first when budgets tighten — they cut waste. Switching costs are procedural, not emotional, but still sticky. Investors treat DV like adtech beta and miss its defensive characteristics. Expansion into connected TV extends the runway meaningfully. Margins reflect software economics, not media cycles. This is ad plumbing paid for by skepticism.” | BEAR | Q4 2025 Dec 31, 2025 | View Pitch |
