Citron Research presents the most compelling opportunity to buy a stock with world class management at the cusp of the “new new thing”. This is a report not to be missed.

At Citron, we’re known as investigative short sellers, but really that’s only one part of who we are. At our core, we are always endeavoring to publish the story that the Street doesn’t get…yet. That story may be long or short. And we always consider risks and rewards in any position.

“Billions of connections, generating trillions of transactions and exabytes of data daily, will require platforms that can operate securely on a global scale.
