Winston is worried
Below-average fundamentals — multiple weak pillars.

Share count rising — dilution

+6.4% over 4y

The company has issued more shares over this period, which dilutes each existing shareholder’s stake.

Diluted shares outstanding: 58.0M (2021) → 61.7M (2025)

CS Disco builds software that helps lawyers and law firms manage legal cases. Its main product is a cloud-based platform that organizes, searches, and reviews large amounts of documents during lawsuits and investigations — a process called "eDiscovery." Customers are mostly corporate legal teams and law firms in the United States.

The company charges subscription and usage-based fees, meaning customers pay based on how much data they store and process on the platform. CS Disco operates primarily in the US and generates roughly $150 million in annual revenue, but it is not yet profitable, losing about 28 cents for every dollar it earns. The legal software market is competitive, with larger players like Relativity and Everlaw also fighting for the same customers, and CS Disco's main challenge is reaching profitability before its cash reserves run thin.
