What this transaction means for investors
The sale of the entire SentinelOne position by Insight Holdings Group is notable for its size. In the previous quarter, it was the fund’s third-largest position, comprising over 9% of the total portfolio. While we don’t know why Insight sold, the industry and company troubles were likely to blame.
SentinelOne, like most other cybersecurity companies, has sold off in recent months as investors soured on software stocks. It may have also soured on the sector itself, as Palo Alto Networks is the only cybersecurity stock in a fund of 30 holdings. Since it is just 0.7% of AUM, the fund is no longer heavily invested in this part of the tech industry.
Moreover, unlike some companies in this business, SentinelOne has continued to report net losses, and it has no obvious path to profitability. Hence, even at a relatively reasonable price-to-sales (P/S) ratio of less than 5, its low valuation does not seem to be enough to persuade Insight and other funds to overlook its challenges.
