Its mission is simple: protect life, preserve truth, and accelerate justice. As ⁠Axon Enterprises⁠ innovates to try to achieve that goal, its solutions are rapidly becoming the industry standard. Listen as we discuss the business’ journey from Taser maker to artificial intelligence-powered software developer.
Beyond the Multiple
At Sands Capital, valuation starts with the business, not the multiple. We assess expected return through long-term earnings power, competitive advantage, and portfolio context to pursue attractive opportunities.
From Mission to Mandate
Resilience has shifted from a national security concern to a global economic imperative. As AI transforms systems and cyber threats accelerate, institutions must embed intelligence and security at their core to remain effective.
The Passion Playbook
How a bit of grit and 600 pairs of shoes can turn a peddler into a powerhouse.
Quality Is More Than a Factor
For us, true quality is not a factor score, but a company’s ability to adapt, reinvest, and compound value through change.
When Growth Becomes Scarce
The Iran war raises the possibility of a prolonged energy shock. Markets and news are moving quickly, and outcomes remain deeply uncertain. Rather than attempt to forecast geopolitical developments, we focus on what we know.
AI at a Crossroads: Rational Optimism in the Face of Fear
The recent “Global Intelligence Crisis” scenario has amplified concerns that AI-driven displacement of white-collar labor could undermine consumption and destabilize economic growth. While these fears are understandable, history suggests that transformative technologies have repeatedly reshaped, not collapsed, economic systems.
Debugging the AI Narrative in Software
AI-driven disruption has sparked indiscriminate selling across software. We believe important distinctions are being overlooked, creating long-term opportunities in cybersecurity, infrastructure, and select vertical and mission-critical platforms.
Strengthening Resilience in a Fragmenting World
AI and cybersecurity are becoming core pillars of resilience as geopolitical and technological disruption accelerates. Organizations must pair proactive AI adoption with stronger cyber defenses to withstand faster, more automated threats.
The New Gravity of Space
Falling launch costs and increasingly reliable networks are reshaping the space industry. Sr. Research Analyst Massimo Marolo, CFA, discusses how this market is evolving and why it matters.
Five Forces Powering the Next Decade of Growth
Investors face geopolitical tension, market volatility, and uncertainty about interest rates and inflation. We stay focused on secular trends that can persist through the day-to-day noise and reward long-term ownership.
