Minotaur Global Opportunities Fund Minotaur Capital Management Pty Ltd | “Thomas: "I'm not sure about software after my week of coding..." Arms: "I think Atlassian will be fine." Thomas: "There's been a step change... my week just made it visceral." That word visceral matters. These improvements don't arrive as neat, linear progress you can tidy up in a spreadsheet. They arrive as sudden "oh wow" moments that change what feels possible. Software stocks have been hammered. HubSpot is down over 55% from its January 2025 levels. Atlassian has more than halved. Adobe and Salesforce are both down around 30%. Oppenheimer downgraded Adobe in mid-January, stating software has "flipped from an AI beneficiary to an AI victim." "I'm in danger." – Ralph Wiggum Part of it is sentiment catching up to what developers have been experiencing. If AI can compress the time and cost to build software by an order of magnitude, what happens to the companies that sell it? 📊 PORTFOLIO IMPLICATIONS In terms of what this means for our portfolio, we've reduced our software exposure since quarter end, including cutting Atlassian, despite our bullish commentary on the name and sector... late last year. We sold because the goalposts are shifting fast on unit economics and defensibility of seat-based workflow software as agentic tooling spreads. The distribution of outcomes has widened materially, and at current prices we don't think the risk-reward is attractive. BSD Analysis: Atlassian owns the plumbing of modern software teams, with Jira, Confluence, and Trello embedded in daily workflows across millions of users. Its freemium-to-enterprise model drives organic adoption without heavy sales expense. The shift to cloud subscriptions is improving revenue visibility while expanding ARPU over time. Atlassian's ecosystem benefits from deep integrations and high switching costs once teams standardize processes. Near-term growth has moderated, but long-term demand for collaboration and developer productivity remains intact. Margins will expand as cloud migration matures. Atlassian is a durable SaaS compounder hiding behind temporary growth deceleration.” | BEAR | Q4 2025 Dec 31, 2025 | View Pitch |
SGA - International Growth Tucker Brown | “During the quarter, we exited our position in Atlassian due to forced attrition. While Atlassian delivered solid results and continued product innovation, we see increasing uncertainty around long-term demand for developer seats and the impact of AI on software development workflows. The planned end-of-life for its data center product adds complexity for large enterprise customers. Given reduced predictability around its long-term value proposition, we reallocated capital to higher-conviction opportunities. BSD Analysis: Atlassian enters 2026 with powerful enterprise momentum, reporting its first-ever $1 billion cloud revenue quarter and a 26% year-over-year surge in subscription sales. The company's AI transformation via the Rovo assistant has reached 5 million monthly active users, significantly increasing seat counts and tool consolidation across its 350,000 customers. While cloud growth has slightly moderated to 24.3% for the full year, a net revenue retention rate of 120%+ highlights the extreme stickiness of its strategic platform. Management has signaled an aggressive buyback phase for the second half of 2026, viewing the current share price as significantly undervalued given its $3.8 billion RPO. The transition of the Atlassian Marketplace to the high-margin Forge platform serves as an additional multi-year tailwind for ecosystem profitability.” | BULL | Q4 2025 Dec 31, 2025 | View Pitch |
Hardman Johnston Global Equity Cassandra A. Hardman | “Atlassian continues to deliver robust earnings growth, but its valuation has come under pressure throughout the quarter due to structural risks to the number of developers due to generative Al innovation. Generative Al is proliferating across the workforce, with new tools saving developers significant time on generic programming tasks. This has raised questions about the continued growth of this workforce, which has historically been a key indication of growth in Atlassian's subscriptions. We believe these risks are overstated for Atlassian, as improving productivity of developers may not reduce seat count, but it will likely drive investment behind a now more productive software development segment. Atlassian is a software lifecycle management tool that should benefit from the accelerated pace of development that generative Al provides. BSD Analysis: Atlassian dominates collaborative software for developers and knowledge workers, offering a product-led growth model that scales globally without heavy sales expense. Cloud migration continues to drive ARR expansion and improved monetization. Products like Jira and Confluence enjoy deep workflow lock-in, making the customer base incredibly sticky. Atlassian's ecosystem of third-party apps strengthens the moat and expands use cases. While near-term margins fluctuate due to cloud investment, the long-term model is highly profitable. AI-enhanced tooling will further integrate Atlassian into daily operations for engineering teams. This is a world-class SaaS platform with enviable economics.” | BULL | Q2 2025 Jun 30, 2025 | View Pitch |
Sands Capital Technology Innovators Fund Michael Clarke, Thomas Trentman | “Atlassian is a leading provider of software applications designed to improve team collaboration and productivity. Shares declined after first-quarter results revealed a narrower-than-expected beat on cloud revenue guidance. While the market reacted to the narrow beat, we do not believe it signals any erosion in the company's competitive position or broader macroeconomic challenges. Enterprise seat expansion, product upgrades, cross-sells, and migrations from data center to cloud all tracked within or above expectations. Importantly, we continue to see no signs of weakness in the data supporting our view that Atlassian's momentum with enterprise customers and newer offerings like Jira Service Management remains underappreciated. BSD Analysis: Atlassian is an essential, high-growth enterprise software giant whose value is locked in its dominance as the "System of Work" platform for developers and knowledge workers. The core thesis is a structural pivot to Enterprise adoption and the successful monetization of its Cloud platform through AI and analytics. The company achieved a record number of deals greater than $1 million in ACV in Q4, up over 2x year-over-year. Its unassailable moat is the Teamwork Graph—the rich, proprietary data set on how teams collaborate—which fuels its powerful AI functionality. This is a high-quality compounder that is leveraging its core products (Jira, Confluence) to capture high-margin revenue from large, complex enterprises.” | BULL | Q2 2025 Jun 30, 2025 | View Pitch |
