KeyBanc analyst Brent Bracelin notes that the 55 largest SaaS stocks had an incredible run through the end of Q3, as the group benefited from robust secular tailwinds and multiple expansion with forward EV/S levels increasing by two full turns above the five-year average. That said, the "Big Chill" has quickly set in during the first nine days of October as the group is down 11% this month and 21% from the highs, on average, he adds. The analyst has identified eight high-quality SaaS stocks that he would buy on the October pullback based on attractive risk-reward and growth profiles looking out into 2020, namely Shopify (SHOP), Salesforce (CRM), Twilio (TWLO), Wix.com (WIX), Zendesk (ZEN), BlackLine (BL), Avalara (AVLR), and Mindbody (MB).
