The Non-linear Economics of Grocery Delivery Basket

Instacart’s larger grocery baskets create disproportionately better delivery economics than DoorDash’s, making half the basket size worth far less than half the profit.

@davey_juice @taobanker I own both. $NU seems inevitable. $INTR more execution and single-market risk but a lot more upside if it works and gets rerated.

@taobanker $INTR at 1.2x book 5.5x '27 earnings with a 16% ROE growing at 20% a year probably qualifies. But yes, $BLX is incredible and I still kick myself for selling most of my position at $25 after buying at $15. Grabbed defeat from the jaws of victory there.

Bought $TTWO after seeing the GTA VI leaked footage. Forget the graphics. Unpolished gameplay is showing a massive leap in world density, NPC behavior and systemic depth. The world feels alive. First real evidence GTA VI may actually be a generational leap. That’s the signal. https://t.co/r6HKMVSYgc

Reviewing some expert transcripts. On $XGN this is worth flagging. The Rheumatologist being interviewed confirms the bull thesis. Says he uses AVISE (XGN) for his panels bc generic tests don't work well in autoimmune, and AVISE more accurate. Flat out says that the one autoimmune marker XGN doesn't offer is for Myositis, where he uses another lab. Guess what $XGN is offering in 2027?
