Quant Score Deep Dive: Acme Atronomatic

We’ve actually covered this company before, but given the record hurricane season, it poses an interesting learning point for investors. ACME Atronomatic owns ‘MyRadar,’ which is one of the top weather apps in the world. As many have heard, Hurricane Helene ripped through the southern United States, and there’s several more storms on the way. Another is about to make landfall in Florida later this week.

While these are tragic, it’s resulted in a 45% surge in app revenues for the company. This isn’t to say ‘invest in companies taking advantage of tragedies’ as what’s going on is the exact opposite. MyRadar is providing invaluable data and updates to millions affected by the storm, likely saving lives and helping survivors prepare for more storms.

Why this is particularly interesting, however, is how these events affect the business. An active weather season is resulting in massive surge in users and in-app revenue for the business. Not only does this mean the company will have a solid year, and the ability to snowball that success into future successful years, there might also be a long term opportunity there as well.

It’s no secret that the weather is getting more volatile. We’re consistently breaking records for heat temperatures around the world, and natural disasters are increasing at an alarming rate. From hurricanes to wild fires, the weather is becoming a crucial consideration for nearly everyone around the world on a survival basis. With MyRadar already being a top weather app, they’re going to naturally capture this demand. And weather volatility isn’t expected to slow down anytime soon. MyRadar is a good company saving lives while also creating an opportunity for investors by capturing an important worldwide trend.

An Exciting IPO Market?

As long as exits are scarce and rates are high, venture capital will not recover. And exits won’t recover until rates drop more. High rates mean investors won’t invest in risky assets. This means companies will raise less in an IPO raise, and thus it’s not as lucrative to go public, especially knowing their stock will decline post-IPO.

Fortunately, both of these might start subsiding soon. There’s more rate cuts expected going into the latter half of the year, and the jobs report was strong. This means recession fears have been sidelined for now, and rates are going to keep dropping. One exciting company, Cerebras, has already announced an IPO. While it’s been delayed briefly due to some regulatory concerns, it’s a large venture backed company which could be huge for investors. Some other big IPO’s have happened recently too, despite a difficult environment. This includes:

• Arm Holdings

• Klaviyo

• Instacart

• Ibotta

• Reddit

• Astera Labs

and several other big names. While the market is still very slow for IPO’s, things will hopefully start turning around. What does this mean for investors? Now is the time to start building your portfolio so you can capture the demand once IPO time comes around.
