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.

Funny to look back and see that my initial take on the $NLOP spinoff was negative. If anything, initial revulsion indicates that a spin might have a substantial edge - particularly if lots of stock is put in the hands of weak holders and forced sellers, as occurred with NLOP.

Looks like the small cap sage Jorey Chernett has filed on $MOB. He is long term, buys in size, and will rattle cages if needed. Fantastic endorsement.

@VolteFaceInvest $CBL is even more egregious than $SPG. At least SPG has the best tier of malls.

Forget AI. Big Pharma is telling us where the next mega theme is. As some have postulated, health care is undergoing extraordinary change. From GLP1s to Peptides to value based Oncology care ($TOI) and of course - the emerging frontier of Psychedelics. $STIM owns the clinical distribution infrastructure for this new space. And the current stock price embeds zero (or negative) equity value for their asset. h/t: @QTRResearch
