In the Q3 2020 Investor Letter, Brown Capital Management highlighted a few stocks and RealPage Inc. (NASDAQ:RP) is one of them. RealPage Inc. (NASDAQ:RP) is a software company. Year-to-date, RealPage Inc. (NASDAQ:RP) stock gained 23.8% and on December 15th it had a closing price of $66.55. Here is what Brown Capital Management said:
“RealPage produces software and data analytics for the multifamily rental real-estate industry to manage properties, develop market intelligence and make better operational and financial decisions for properties. In particular, we view the real-estate software market as divided between small, owner-operator property managers and large, sophisticated, institutional property managers. RealPage serves the institutional portion of the market as a popular cloud-based solution among property managers and property owners.
In July, the company reported second-quarter sales and earnings that exceeded Wall Street expectations and also raised its 2020 sales-growth guidance. Despite the positive report, management noted that the high end of the outlook was contingent on Congress reauthorizing stimulus payments to households and enhanced unemployment benefits. At this time, it remains unclear if those payments will be renewed and how large they will be. Furthermore, the patchwork of federal, state and local moratoriums on evictions, as well as the opacity of how landlords will get reimbursed for missed rent payments, adds further uncertainty.
Although we do not enjoy the short-term disruption to the business, we like the long-term outlook for greater software adoption in multifamily property management. Reflecting the opportunity for further innovation, at its user conference in September, RealPage unveiled new options in smart and connected apartments, online resident engagement, artificially intelligent revenue management, virtual leasing and several other capabilities. We believe the multifamily real-estate industry has ample opportunity to improve its operations through software, creating many more years of low double-digit annual revenue growth for RealPage.”
