Foolish take
Whetstone's sale of Zeta Global may be disappointing to stockholders, but I don't think it is a red flag for investors.
Zeta Global's share price was a low as $12 earlier in the year when Whetstone opened its position in the company and was briefly above $20 just a few weeks ago, so this may have just been "profit-taking" for the firm.
While we don't know the exact reasoning behind Whetstone's sale of Zeta, this quick sale highlights the advantage individual investors may have over the institutional finance world, as we can think in decades rather than quarters.
Looking at Zeta through this long-term Foolish lens, I think there is a lot to like about the AI-powered customer data and advertising platform.
The promising young company has many "leadership" capabilities, as rated by Forrester, and is home to a top-tier Net Promoter Score. The company counts 44 Fortune 100 companies as customers, thanks to its leadership positioning and helpful products.
Set to grow sales by 20% or more for the seventh-straight year, Zeta looks like an intriguing growth stock to consider -- especially as it trades at just 25 times earnings.
Launching its Athena AI agent last month, I believe Zeta's potential outweighs its reasonable price tag and will look to add to the company in small batches.
