Given this backdrop, we think it could be wise to bet on fundamentally strong SaaS stocks—The Sage Group (LON:SGE) (SGPYY) and MiX Telematics (NYSE:MIXT).Data breaches and cyber-attacks continue to hinder the performance of software-as-a-service (SaaS) companies. However, the industry is expected to grow exponentially over the long term, owing to increasing demand from almost every industry as part of their digital transformation efforts.
