Where OSPN is headed

OneSpan is the kind of business institutional money forgets exists until it can't. A 35-year-old authentication shop, hardware roots, mostly bank customers, growing single digits, throwing off $44M in free cash on a $535M market cap. That's an 8% FCF yield on a profitable software company with 74% gross margins and basically no debt. The market has decided this is a value trap. We think the market is half right and entirely wrong about the half that matters.
