CS Disco: Poor Growth And Profitability Limit Valuation Upside
Summary I maintain a hold rating on CS Disco due to poor revenue growth and continued unprofitability, limiting valuation upside. LAW's latest earnings report showed decelerating growth, with revenue up only 3.5% y/y and adj EBITDA at -$4.3 million, better than expected but still negative. The pivot to enterprise customers shows some traction, but overall growth remains sluggish, and customer acquisition is weak, raising concerns about long-term prospects. Valuation multiples have been derated to 1.1x forward revenue, reflecting market skepticism about growth acceleration and profitability improvements in the near term.

Current valuation and conservative management projections suggest continued caution; I maintain a Sell recommendation given the lack of strong turnaround evidence.
