What SentinelOne does

US cybersecurity company selling AI-driven endpoint and cloud security software that detects and automatically responds to threats.

Sells annual subscriptions priced by the number of devices or workloads protected, mostly through resellers and managed security providers rather than directly, and growth comes from existing customers adding modules such as cloud security and data analytics. Founded by Israeli entrepreneurs in 2013, it is run from California.

How these numbers are made. Returns are close-to-close in local currency. Revenue growth and margins are trailing twelve months. Req g is the revenue growth that today's enterprise value requires for seven years at the company's own cost of capital; Delivered g is what it actually grew; the gap is the hurdle (honest precision about ±8 points, so read the ranking more than the decimal). No fair values, price targets or analyst ratings are shown, by design. Method and validation.
