# Xero Limited
Ticker: XRO
Market: ASX
Xero Limited is a cloud-based accounting software platform mainly used by small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs).
Where it operates:
Australia / NZ (core stronghold)
UK (growing)
US (big opportunity, still developing)
How Xero makes money:
- Monthly subscriptions per business
- Tiered pricing (basic → premium)
- Add-ons (payroll, advanced features)
Why investors like it:
- Strong moat
Once a business is set up → hard to switch
Data + workflows deeply embedded
- Recurring revenue
Subscription model = predictable income
- Large market
Millions of small businesses globally
Risks / challenges:
- Competing with Intuit Inc. (QuickBooks) in the US
- Growth slowing vs earlier years
- Still proving profitability at scale
- High valuation (even after recent drop)
Negatives (this is where it fails Warren Buffett test)
- Valuation still high ~50–65x earnings is far above Buffett comfort zone
Buffett typically prefers ~15–25x (rough guide)
- Growth slowing, used to be 30–40%, now more like 15–20%
- High multiple + slowing growth = risky combo
Reasons to invest:
- 2026, the entire tech sector has been repriced lower due to AI disruption fears.
- potential for 140% upside gain
- perhaps wait for price to drop to $60 level before buying
