Here's the J-curve stock shape -- many examples of software stocks and high growth stocks, sometimes even large mature companies that release a new product. $MPWR was shaping up for this in November 2024 (I wrote about this and went long) when it dropped a lot after they "lost $NVDA" marketshare, but of course their custom AI accelerator business was growing something like 100% a year, and it was only a matter of time before it showed up in the earnings. It subsequently re-rated after troughing at 35x and had significant earnings growth. Today it goes for 35x again. Will there be another big bump in a few years, maybe robotics?

@nicholaus20006 these resturant ipo's often feels like the last hurrah, especially if it's a mature-ish brand. the rare $CMG or $WING that has lots of room to grow is another thing, i don't think this concept applies to $jmke though.

@breadcrumbsre $FERG is already what $QXO wants to be! $QXO…raise tons of equity at inflated values (while Brad buys stock for peanuts). Buy companies in auctions at high prices. Pitch magical synergies to double EBITDA to raise more equity at high valuation….profit?

But if returns on capital are declining for everyone, the choice is whether to eat or to be eaten? $T is willing to subsidize fiber as a loss leader to protect their wireless margins. $CHTR / $CMCSA are likewise willing to give away wireless to protect their broadband margins… which comes back to the question: which is stickier, your phone or broadband line? I think $CMCSA works because of the spin unlock and sheer strength of their balance sheet. $CHTR is a very long dated call option with more risk, but much more upside if broadband losses attenuate and/or they allocate capital intelligently (although $CHTR’s balance sheet is more levered, there is tremendous optionality in its duration, cost and structure).

@orrdavid Thanks for sharing this interview. Interesting that he thinks prediction markets will ultimately be a majority of $IBKR’s business.
