Sprinklr stock goes public next week.
The Sprinklr IPO is expected to sell 19 million shares priced between $18 and $20 a pop.
That will value the company at close to $5 billion.
That's not too shabby for a company with just under $340 million in sales last year.
While not the flashiest company, it could be a silent winner in the enterprise software market set to double from $500 billion to $1 trillion by the end of the decade.
If you miss out on profits from this trend, don't let it be because you found it "boring."

FiveThirtyEight's polling average gives Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden an 87% chance of winning the race for the White House.
And according to Real Clear Politics, betting sites on average give Biden odds of 65.1% to win.
Meanwhile, Democrats are practically guaranteed to keep control of the House of Representatives, and now have a 70% chance of taking the Senate, too, according to FiveThirtyEight.
In short, the polls say we're going to get a "blue wave." Democrats are set to take the White House and both houses of Congress.

We're already seeing some sectors rise in anticipation.
So today, I'll show you how to prepare your portfolio for a "blue wave" as well as what to do if the polls end up being wrong again… Full Story
