Original Reddit post

Author presents OSPN as an undervalued cybersecurity software business with a dying hardware segment masking growth, trading at 8 P/E and zero debt.

OSPN — LONG Author argues OSPN is undervalued because a shrinking hardware segment (-16% YoY) masks a sticky cybersecurity software business (+11% ARR) serving 60 of the world's largest banks. A DCF model that assumes hardware vanishes tomorrow and terminal growth decays to 2% yields an intrinsic value of $15.67 versus the current price of $11.81. The discrepancy is attributed to hardware drag depressing headline growth, with free optionality from remaining hardware revenue, Nok Nok and Build38 acquisitions, and true ARR growth not fully modeled.

At a PE of 8 and zero debt, this is an information arbitrage fat pitch for me.
