At the end of March, the firm was holding just three stocks and didn’t purchase any shares in the first quarter. **BillionToOne**, its top holding, makes up a whopping 52% of the overall portfolio. Adams Street’s remaining portfolio leans heavily towards life sciences, but it hasn’t exited the software as a service space entirely. It’s second largest holding, **Rimini Street**, provides third-party services that help companies manage accounts with major platforms like **Oracle**, **Microsoft**, and **Salesforce**. It seems like Adams Street dropped its Paymentus stake a little too early. Earlier this month, the company reported record first-quarter revenue that surged 30.2% year over year to reach $358.4 million. The company also reported adjusted earnings that shot 50% higher year over year to $0.21 per share. Paymentus could keep its rapid growth rate going with help from the recent launch of AI-native Service Commerce tools. Billeo and BillWallet are designed to transform bills, invoices, and statements into intelligent, interactive experiences that help subscribers manage their businesses. ## Should you buy stock in Paymentus right now?
