One observes, with a certain detached amusement, the movements of capital. Shannon River Fund Management, a name redolent of fiscal prudence, has recently demonstrated a decided lack of enthusiasm for Wix.com, shedding some 283,352 shares during the last quarter of the previous year. A transaction amounting to approximately $34.26 million, a sum which, in these inflationary times, scarcely buys a decent country estate.
The fund, having once held a rather more substantial stake, now clings to a mere 46,731 shares, valued at a comparatively modest $4.85 million. One pictures the portfolio managers, not in paroxysms of panic, of course, but with the sort of polite dismay one reserves for a slightly overcooked soufflé.
Wix, it must be noted, now constitutes a paltry 0.76% of Shannon River’s reportable U.S. equity assets. A rounding error, one might say, in the grand scheme of things. The fund’s more favoured holdings – TSEM, PEGA, U, LYV, and MRVL – appear to be enjoying a degree of favour, though one suspects that even these beneficiaries are viewed with a certain skeptical detachment.
The company itself, Wix.com, has endured a rather bruising twelve months. The share price, currently hovering around $69.23, has fallen by a precipitous 69.4%. A performance which, it must be said, considerably outpaces the S&P 500’s decline, though not in a manner likely to elicit celebration.

Wix, for those unfamiliar, offers a cloud-based platform for the creation of websites. A commendable enterprise, no doubt, though one wonders if the world truly requires another means of self-expression. They cater to individuals, small businesses, and the increasingly ubiquitous “enterprises,” all eager to establish a digital presence. As of 2021, they boasted some 222 million registered users, a figure which, one suspects, includes a considerable number of abandoned projects and half-finished websites.
The current situation is, shall we say, intriguing. Revenue stands at an all-time high of $1.9 billion, and growth has accelerated in recent quarters. They are even returning value to shareholders through a $2 billion share repurchase agreement. A gesture of optimism, perhaps, or merely a desperate attempt to prop up a failing edifice.
The prevailing market sentiment, however, remains decidedly bearish. The tiresome narrative of “artificial intelligence eating software” continues to haunt any company with a digital footprint. Investors, it seems, are increasingly wary of anything that might be rendered obsolete by a clever algorithm. And, of course, the recent weakness in the share price only serves to exacerbate their fears. A vicious cycle, indeed.
In conclusion, Wix’s stock performance is unsettling, but the company itself remains fundamentally sound. Whether this is enough to attract discerning investors remains to be seen. One suspects that a great deal of patience – and perhaps a considerable amount of luck – will be required.
