The memo

State of play · CXM
CXM traded near $5.45 in April 2026. FY26 revenue ~$815M growing ~10%. Operating margin low-single-digits. CEO Rory Read (from OpenText) took over 2024; turnaround under way. Activist pressure earlier in 2024.

Thesis angle

Sprinklr's thesis slot is unified CX + AI agents. Labor substitution across social + care + marketing + research. Services-as-software read: thesis-aligned but execution during CEO transition + turnaround uncertain.

The framing

Bulls see Sprinklr as thesis-aligned + potential turnaround. Bears cite Salesforce + Adobe + NICE + HubSpot competition + growth deceleration. Verdict 'watch'.
