Thesis

SentinelOne Cloud-native endpoint/XDR; Purple AI is the productized analyst. ~$1.0B 2025 revenue with still-above-median growth, but market cap and cash quality lag CrowdStrike—high-beta CRWD complement, not a platform substitute.

Business

Model: endpoint/XDR subscriptions. Flagships: Singularity; Purple AI. Edge: automated response + AI-analyst narrative. Strategy: extend beyond endpoint into cloud/identity to close the gap vs CRWD.

Value chain

Endpoint application layer; upstream OS/cloud workloads; downstream SOCs. Not ultra-concentrated, but displacing CRWD/Microsoft in large estates is slow. Risks: Defender bundling; CRWD brand/data flywheel; GAAP losses.
