What's up with the Megaport share price?
Despite no market-sensitive updates today, investors are bidding up Megaport shares today, despite a heavy selloff that's ensued since late April.
In that time, the Megaport share price has come off a high of $12.76 with authority, a 45% drop, along with weakness in the broad sector.
For instance, the S&P/ASX All Technology Index (ASX: XTX) has collapsed 16% in the last month of trade after another 11% dip in the past week of trade.
However, there's no denying that positive sentiment exists for Megaport, and some sophisticated investors are looking at this weak period as an opportunity.
"[W]ith the world moving more and more of computing into the cloud, the thematic tailwinds just cannot be denied for this ASX share," said Tony Yoo of TMF earlier this week.
Yoo said commentary from Firetrail Investments supports this view:
"We continue to believe the medium-term growth opportunity for Megaport is significant and will be realised within a reasonable timeframe," Firetrail said.
Meanwhile, analysts at Shaw and Partners noted that there is "definitely some value" in Megaport with its stock price trading around $8 at the time.
