In the said letter, Greenhaven Road Capital highlighted a few stocks and Digital Turbine Inc. (NASDAQ:APPS) is one of them. Digital Turbine Inc. (NASDAQ:APPS) is a software company. Year-to-date, Digital Turbine Inc. (NASDAQ:APPS) stock gained 76.2% and on July 27th it had a closing price of $12.56. Here is what Greenhaven Road Capital said:

“Digital Turbine (APPS) – This has been a top five holding for well over a year. In the last quarterly letter, I wrote, “New phone activations will be impacted in the short term, but I am not ready to bet against humanity’s love of having a device in their hand, or advertisers’ desire to reach those consumers. Digital Turbine is positioned for revenue growth, margin expansion, and multiple expansion, despite what the share price said on March 31st.” The price has more than doubled since the end of March, making APPS a very positive contributor to Q2 performance. Digital Turbine’s primary business has been brokering “app slots” on smart phones. Demand continues to rise for the limited number of slots, so revenue per device rises, which is hugely beneficial to the company. To management’s credit, execution has been superb. They have signed up the largest carriers (Verizon, AT&T, Telefonica) and the largest advertisers (Amazon, Netflix, Disney+), they have introduced new products and new pricing models, and they have allocated capital very well with the recent acquisition of Mobile Posse, which was accretive and dramatically increased their recurring revenue base. This management team may lack some of the fancy pedigrees and reputation of some of today’s “high flyers,” but if you step back, their execution has been phenomenal.”
