Meridian Growth Fund ArrowMark Colorado Holdings, LLC | “Sprout Social, Inc. provides a leading platform that enables businesses to manage, monitor, and optimize their social media presence. The company's platform is recognized for its intuitive design, ease of deployment, and direct integrations across major social networks—features that underpin its competitive advantage. Despite delivering results ahead of expectations, the stock underperformed during the period following another reduction in forward guidance. In a market environment increasingly rewarding a “beat and raise” pattern, this guidance reset overshadowed otherwise solid execution. We believe the resulting pullback was excessive, given Sprout's durable double-digit growth trajectory, expanding margin profile, and compelling valuation. With a strong competitive position and growing relevance to modern enterprises, we used the share price weakness as an opportunity to modestly increase our position during the period. :contentReference[oaicite:11]{index=11} BSD Analysis: SPT's net retention and platform breadth support durable growth; margin expansion from scale and upsell remains intact. Guidance reset creates entry; expect re-acceleration as enterprise wins compound. Balance sheet lightness and recurring revenue temper risk.” | BULL | Q3 2025 Sep 30, 2025 | View Pitch |
Meridian Small Cap Growth Fund Chad Meade | “Sprout Social delivered results ahead of expectations but reduced forward guidance, triggering a selloff in a market focused on “beat and raise” dynamics. Despite this, its platform continues to demonstrate durable double-digit revenue growth, expanding margins, and strong customer adoption. The fund used the pullback to modestly increase its position. BSD Analysis: Meridian remains constructive on Sprout Social, seeing the stock's weakness as sentiment-driven rather than fundamental. The company's combination of expanding ARR, strong net retention (>120%), and disciplined expense control highlights its durable SaaS economics. Margin expansion through automation and enterprise migration should lift FCF conversion above 20% within two years. At ~8x forward EV/sales, valuation aligns with high-quality SaaS peers growing at similar rates, providing a favorable setup for multiple expansion once execution confidence returns.” | BULL | Q3 2025 Sep 30, 2025 | View Pitch |
