“Jack Henry & Associates, Inc. (NASDAQ:JKHY) – JKHY underperformed the broader market during Q1 after reporting lower de-conversion fees as well as weaker card processing revenue. Negative banking headlines also pressured the stock. JKHY continues to win new accounts from the competition and expand margins. It has limited direct banking exposure as it generates revenue based on assets, accounts, transactions, or monthly active users. We remain confident in management’s ability to execute and believe the business model is very attractive with recurring revenue, long-term contracts, and high switching costs.  Increased: Jack Henry (JKHY) – Added to position using proceeds from STOR acquisition. Addition reflects our conviction in the long-term thesis for JKHY.”
