Fubotv earnings beat by $0.10, revenue topped estimates
Investing.com - BTIG reiterated a Buy rating and $10.00 price target on Shutter Rock Capital Corp. (NASDAQ:SSSS), currently trading at $8.45, following investor meetings with the company’s management last week. The stock has shown remarkable momentum, delivering a 116% return over the past year according to InvestingPro data.
The meetings, led by SuRo CEO Mark Klein and VP Investments Evan Schlossman, covered topics ranging from basic business operations to deal flow and potential new catalysts after several of SuRo’s holdings experienced substantial stock price appreciation. InvestingPro data reveals the company maintains strong liquidity with a current ratio of 10.91, indicating robust financial flexibility for new investments.
Klein indicated that deal flow activity remains at very high levels with ample opportunity to deploy capital. He noted that artificial intelligence is the sector with the most intense capital-raising activity, though challenging as startups with minimal track records are receiving billion-dollar valuations.
SuRo’s initial AI investments focused primarily on infrastructure, but management sees emerging opportunities in the layer beyond foundational models and raw compute. VAST Data, a private company in SuRo’s portfolio, exemplifies this approach by organizing massive data quantities optimized for AI ingestion.
BTIG’s analysis aligns with SuRo’s strategy, noting that while infrastructure is where value is currently being created in AI, new opportunities will increasingly emerge in downstream ecosystem layers, similar to how the internet evolved from infrastructure plays to application-layer companies.
In other recent news, SuRo Capital Corp. reported a slight decrease in its Net Asset Value (NAV) for the first quarter of 2025, with the NAV standing at $156.8 million or $6.66 per share, a minor drop from $6.68 per share at the end of the previous year. Despite this decrease, SuRo Capital’s strategic focus on AI and AI-adjacent investments remains strong, as highlighted in their recent earnings call. The company’s portfolio has seen significant appreciation, particularly with CoreWeave, whose shares have risen approximately 200% since SuRo’s first-quarter report, increasing SuRo’s holding by $67 million. BTIG has raised its price target for SuRo Capital to $10 from $7, maintaining a Buy rating on the stock, citing the impressive gains in SuRo’s AI-focused portfolio. Furthermore, another portfolio company, VAST Data, is reportedly raising funds at a $25 billion valuation, significantly higher than its initial valuation. BTIG estimates SuRo’s mark-to-market NAV at nearly $11 per share, suggesting that the stock is trading at a notable discount to its NAV. These recent developments underscore SuRo Capital’s commitment to capitalizing on opportunities in the AI sector, aiming to deliver long-term value to its investors.
