What this transaction means for investors

Conestoga Capital Advisors, an independent investment management firm based in Pennsylvania, recently disclosed the sale of approximately $45.7 million worth of SPS Commerce (SPSC) stock during the first quarter (the three months ending on March 31, 2026). Here are some key takeaways for investors.

SPSC stock has suffered over the last 18 months. During that time, shares have declined by about 71%, registering a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of -56%. Clearly, the stock has gotten caught up in the market-wide software stock sell-off.

At any rate, SPSC continues to deliver revenue growth. Its top line has increased from $492 in 12-month revenue in 2023 to around $750 today, reflecting solid growth. In addition, the company is investing in an agentic artificial intelligence (AI) platform.

Turning to valuation, the stock has a price-to-sales (P/S) ratio of 2.8x. That’s the lowest in more than a decade and near an all-time low of 2.4x registered way back in 2010.

In summary, investors willing to value-shop in the software stock sector may want to consider SPSC given its newfound affordability and resilient revenue growth.
