Is $EVC is a classic case of thesis drift for its investors? It was all about sequential hypergrowth (with a supposed SOTP margin of safety). Mgmt said Q3 will be below Q2. Now the thesis is about strong year over year growth. What happens in a few quarters when year over year growth is gone, or is low single digits? Is this really a seasonal business? For me it was a small position due to the nature of the situation. Q2 growth was lighter than I expected so I was selling after hours and have fully exited.

$XGN remains a top holding for us. Even after the big move higher post a beat and raise Q2, the shares trade for a material discount versus comps. The discount is silly. Especially when we consider that they are launching a new marker for Myositis. XGN tells us that Rheumatologists are BY FAR requesting a precise diagnostic for Myositis more than any other condition. The reason is because Myositis is treatable if caught early, but problematic if not. "this is the #1 asked for product amongst our rheumatologists clinical base... it's not even close to the #2 asked for offering" $XGN trades for 2x 2026 revenues. Comps go for 10x.
