The company is really very solid. I like what they do and how they do it. After the recent split, the price per share has weakened significantly and this week looks like more discounting thanks to the market situation. Would I invest?

It is a young company that has been very successful in the last two years. However, the shares fell quickly after the IPO and now it does not look like a quick turnaround despite the good numbers. I would wait to see how the market reacts before potentially joining.

Perfect find! As of the end of 2022, the company is hovering above the market consensus on earnings and their numbers are still rising. The outlook is for this to continue to hold through at least 2027. Absolutely brilliant. Even debt and margins, which are rising. The company is a bit more expensive now, but it could maybe start paying a dividend :)

You always bring great company here! Many of the companies you write great about are undervalued and because investors don't know them from the mainstream, they don't even stop to think about them. It's a shame, but I love it! Keep going. I'm always happy to read it.
I honestly wasn't that interested. Do you think you could always write in a short sentence at the beginning of these lesser known stocks what the company does and what products/services it offers? For me, that would be a great addition, it makes it easier to navigate, as knowing what the company does and what sector it's in, I can judge it against competitors for example.
