THESIS
Asana is a founder-led work-management SaaS where the operating loss has collapsed from negative 23 percent of revenue to negative 7 percent and free cash flow has tripled to 37 million dollars in a single year.
Bull lever: Free cash flow margin reached 18 percent and the founder Dustin Moskovitz, who owns a huge stake, keeps buying stock near multi-year lows at one and a half times sales.
Key risk: Revenue growth has decelerated to single digits and net revenue retention has softened toward the high nineties, so the durable-growth question is unresolved.
KEY METRICS - Q1 FY2027
- Revenue: $205.1M (+9.5% YoY)
- Non-GAAP EPS: $0.05 (vs $0.03 est)
- GAAP net loss: -$14.4M (narrowed from -$40.0M a year ago)
- GAAP operating margin: -7.4% (vs -23.4% YoY, +1600 bps)
- Free cash flow: $37.4M (18.2% margin) vs $4.0M a year ago
- Net cash position; founder Dustin Moskovitz adding shares
