Koji Ikeda’s rating is based on Lightspeed POS Inc’s strong performance and strategic execution. The company reported impressive first-quarter results for fiscal year 2026, with revenue and adjusted EBITDA surpassing expectations. This performance indicates that Lightspeed is on track with its three-year strategic plan, aiming for a 35% compound annual growth rate in adjusted EBITDA. The company’s revenue growth potential is promising, particularly as its go-to-market strategy gains momentum, which could serve as a catalyst for further growth.
Additionally, Lightspeed’s expansion in net-new locations and its focus on increasing sales capacity are encouraging signs. The company added 1,700 new locations in the quarter, aligning with its goal of a 10-15% growth in net-new customers over three years. Furthermore, investments in technology to enhance average revenue per user (ARPU) are yielding positive results, with software ARPU growing by 10% year-over-year. The introduction of advanced features and increased payments monetization are expected to drive further revenue growth. These factors, combined with a valuation premium justified by its growth strategy, support the Buy rating with a price objective of $16 USD.
