Insider Ownership: 10.5%

OVH Groupe, a French growth company with high insider ownership, is navigating through a transformative phase. While its revenue growth at 10.9% annually is commendable and outpaces the French market's average, its profitability timeline extends over the next three years, reflecting a gradual but positive trajectory. Recent product launches like the ADV-Gen3 Bare Metal servers underscore innovation but come amidst financial challenges marked by a net loss reduction from €26.59 million to €17.24 million year-over-year for H1 2024. Despite these hurdles and a volatile share price, OVH's strategic focus on advanced server technology and international expansion suggests resilience and potential for long-term growth.
