Forager Australian Shares Fund Steve Johnson | “The Fund fully exited Bravura Solutions and Catapult early in the financial year, only to see both stocks back in the portfolio by February as software valuations fell. Bravura added 1.9% to fund returns before its exit as strong results from the mission-critical financial software business continued at the first half result, with revenue 10% higher and management's preferred measure of profitability up 71%. The company has upgraded earnings expectations twice in the 2026 financial year. And a lot of the cash is making its way back into investor pockets: over the last 18 months the business has returned nearly 42 cents per share to investors via dividends and capital returns, approximately half of the Fund's original purchase price. Further improved results from the business appear likely, as the new management team continues the impressive work of the last team. The new CEO also has a background in running a portfolio of software businesses, skills that will come in handy if Bravura can secure attractively priced acquisitions.” | NEUTRAL | Q2 2026 Jul 15, 2026 | View Pitch |
Ganes Focused Value Fund Ganes Capital Management Limited | “Bravura Solutions shares fell over 20% despite reporting profit growth and paying a special dividend, caused by broad market anxieties over AI-driven software commoditization. The manager argues Bravura's software is deeply embedded and serves as a vital 'source of truth' for highly regulated multinational clients. Replacing such software with in-house AI code poses unacceptable compliance and execution risks for customers.” | BULL | Q1 2026 Apr 14, 2026 | View Pitch |
