Where PD is headed
The PagerDuty of 2028 looks nothing like the SaaS growth darling that IPO'd at 40x revenue in 2019. It looks like a niche software utility throwing off $130-150M in free cash flow annually against a market cap that today sits at $770M. That is the entire story. Revenue growth has flatlined at roughly 1%, and next year the Street models a slight contraction. Every incremental subscriber costs more to win than the last one, because Datadog, Splunk (now Cisco), and ServiceNow have all bolted incident response onto broader platforms. The land grab is over.
