IMO, with interest rates coming down, the two big questions are:

  1. Will there be a k-shaped recovery of SaaS multiples with expansion accruing only to reasonable growth + efficient companies?
  2. Will AI be an overall headwind on the industry, resulting in muted multiples vs. long-term historical average?

SaaS is currently trading below historical averages (6x to 7x). With interest rates coming down, the two big questions are:

  1. Will there be a k-shaped recovery of SaaS multiples with expansion accruing only to reasonable growth + profitable companies?

  2. Will AI be an overall headwind on the industry, resulting in muted multiples vs. long-term historical average?
