New York’s Insight Holdings Group recently performed the financial equivalent of trimming one’s sails mid-storm, divesting three million shares of SentinelOne (S 1.62%) according to a November 14 SEC filing. The transaction, which reduced their exposure by $60.5 million, might suggest a waning confidence were it not for the peculiar arithmetic that now makes this beleaguered stock represent 9.2% of their reportable assets – a curious devotion to a company whose shares have plummeted 39% annually.
Operatic Decline
The filing reveals a paradox: while reducing their physical share count to 8.4 million, the fund’s proportional commitment has increased. This financial sleight-of-hand occurs against a backdrop where SentinelOne’s market price ($14.56) mocks its 2021 peak with all the cruelty of a Shakespearean villain. Yet the stock persists as their third-largest holding, trailing only NYSE:HNGE and NASDAQ:UDMY in a portfolio that reads like a modern Medici’s ledger.
Tragicomic Fundamentals
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Revenue (TTM) | $955.6 million |
| Net Income (TTM) | ($411.3 million) |
| Price (as of Wednesday) | $14.56 |
| One-Year Price Change | (39%) |
Technological Pretensions
SentinelOne’s Singularity XDR platform, which promises autonomous threat prevention across digital domains, operates with all the tragic grandeur of a modern-day Tower of Babel. Their AI-powered cybersecurity theatre continues to enthrall enterprise clients in finance and government – sectors where the phrase “data breach” carries consequences more severe than mere financial ruin.
Strategic Irony
The fund’s continued allegiance reveals a fascinating dissonance: revenue grew 23% to $258.9 million while non-GAAP margins turned positive at 7%. This precarious equilibrium between growth and solvency plays out like a Silicon Valley retelling of A Christmas Carol, with investors haunted by the specter of their own past exuberance.
Market Theatrics
- NYSE:HNGE: $541.3 million (33.4% of AUM)
- NASDAQ:UDMY: $266.6 million (16.5% of AUM)
- NYSE:S: $148.4 million (9.2% of AUM)
- NASDAQ:MSFT: $112.6 million (7% of AUM)
- NASDAQ:NVDA: $87 million (5.4% of AUM)
One cannot help but admire the fund managers’ existential fortitude. Their decision to maintain this position amidst such spectacular implosion suggests either visionary contrarianism or the sort of institutional inertia that precedes corporate obituaries.
Glossary of Delusions

Extended Detection and Response (XDR): A cybersecurity solution that integrates multiple data sources to create the illusion of control.
Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR): A metric that transforms financial cliff-diving into a mathematical ballet.
Non-GAAP Operating Margin: A numerical incantation that makes red ink appear green under certain lighting conditions.
For those who still believe in Silicon Valley’s redemption arc, SentinelOne offers a masterclass in late-stage tech capitalism – where every quarterly improvement becomes a minor miracle, and survival itself qualifies as success. 🕵️♂️
