“We added to our position in Clarivate Plc (NYSE:CLVT). The company offers highly valuable proprietary data that allow its clients to discover, protect, and commercialize new ideas and inventions. Clarivate’s analytical applications become deeply embedded in its customers’ workflows, demonstrating high customer retention and pricing power. We have confidence that the new management team will accelerate organic revenue growth after digesting and integrating two large recent acquisitions. The stock’s valuation has gotten too cheap (less than 10 times 2023 estimates of free-cash-flow per share) for a company with such a strong moat around its products, defensive end-markets, and subscription-based revenue model that generates strong free cash flow.”
