$PEGA numbers begin the software back to earth story....expect sick to be down significantly tomorrow (it never trades true until the open). The backlog is down QoQ and we are talking 6% ACV now versus guide for 15% at the start of the year. Without a total break from recent trends they will need an absolute monstrous Q4 (comping against a very strong Q4 number yoy coming up) otherwise the backlog number will drop out and that will move from an inflated 15% yoy (from the Q4 25') probably to low single digits or worse..... Big portions of software is in trouble, this is the very beginning

On the public company side, I have been looking into the boring company Mueller Water Products $MWA that makes things like fire hydrants. Yes, there is a data center angle but that part of their business is currently small. It showed up on my radar because of insider buying by an independent board member though a 10b5-1 plan. This director previously spent nearly 24 years at Morgan Stanley rising up to the position of Managing Director and Co-Head of Mergers & Acquisitions (Americas). Has an MBA from @UChicago and currently teaches at University of Virginia.
