Richie Capital Group made the following comment about A10 Networks, Inc. (NYSE:ATEN) in its Q1 2023 investor letter:
"A10 Networks, Inc. (NYSE:ATEN)(ATEN down -11.1%) – The provider of cybersecurity and infrastructure solutions for on-premises, cloud and edge environments traded down during the quarter despite recording a record fourth quarter and full year revenue. The company still faces some challenges as they transition from a hardware focus to becoming software centric. Investors were likely concerned with ATEN’s negative growth in their enterprise segment. Despite near term headwinds, we view the company as an attractively priced cybersecurity market leader with attractive margins and high returns on capital. The company continues to outpace their peers in the Application Delivery Controller (ADC) market and expects double digit earnings growth for the full year 2023."
