Matthew Sweeney discusses the concept of 'business inertia,' suggesting that companies in the $1 billion to $2 billion market cap range generally exhibit more stability and predictability than smaller companies. He notes this can translate to lower customer concentration risk and more predictable revenue and margins.
“Yeah, well, I mean, every business is unique, but I, it's harder to be a billion dollar company than a $100 million company, presumably.”
“but generally speaking, as businesses get bigger, they often get, you know, more stable, more predictable.”
“So there is an argument that getting a little bit bigger can make the business just that much more stable.”
