What SailPoint does

US identity security software company helping enterprises govern who has access to which systems and data (identity governance).

Customers pay yearly subscriptions for its cloud service, and the company has been converting customers who run its older self-hosted software to the cloud version. Implementation work is often done by consulting partners. Thoma Bravo, which took it private in 2022, stayed a major owner after the 2025 return to the stock market.

What could go right

  • Enterprise identity governance/compliance spend growth
  • Cloud migration of on-prem IGA customers

What could go wrong

  • Competition from Microsoft bundling
  • Re-public after prior private-equity ownership

Moat: narrow (switching costs, regulatory licence, installed base). Identity governance is embedded in compliance/audit processes, making replacement costly and high-risk.

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.
