Compass Verdict

Is Daily Journal Corporation (NASDAQ:DJCO) a buy in 2026?

Hold. Daily Journal Corporation is a wait-and-watch at today's price, not a fresh buy.

Munger's old holding company is finally a real software business, but the price already assumes Journal Technologies executes flawlessly.

Where DJCO is headed

Daily Journal in mid-2028 looks almost nothing like the curiosity it was a decade ago. The newspaper segment, the old Munger-era cash cow that paid for everything, is a rounding error. Journal Technologies, the case management software arm selling eCourt, eProsecutor, eDefender and eFile-it to courts and justice agencies across the US, is doing the heavy lifting. Revenue grew 25% over the trailing twelve months and the shift in mix is what matters: the company is now a vertical SaaS roll-up serving one of the slowest, stickiest customer bases on earth, government justice systems.
