DRIV will get killed... The same fate that befell BYND will befall DRIV tomorrow. Gross margins awful and unchanged. Their e-commerce software sales a tiny fraction of overall sales. It is becoming less and less clear how DRIV (and BYND) will ever make any money with this business model. I also continue to wonder the wisdom of booking the entire software sale as revenue. What does the software publisher do, book it a second time? If there is any out there who can explain it to me, I'll listen. If you want to see an e-commerce company with fantastic gross margins and recurring revenue, check out CBLT. I hope it all works out for DRIV longs. DocStone
