$ESP - solid earnings. Numbers were record high, but main negative is book-to-bill sub 1. However, that's expected as funding will flow in '27. One interesting thing - they added language about positive revenue growth into '27. Normally they haven't provided any sort of guidance.

@StanG42548339 @420yooper69AMC I appreciate it. By putting all that money into $AMC you allowed $AMC to issue more shares. It used that to repay bonds owned by hedge funds and bought at a discount. Hedge funds made money. You lost. Thanks for playing.

Apparently, my mom is now buying stocks. We're all in trouble now. She wanted to know what to buy (she already owns $SIF ). I gave her $RFIL and $OCC. This will clearly determine if I'll be invited to thanksgiving this year.

@HatedMoats the pump is crazy, but people comparing this to $TTD when it's already down by half and at pretty reasonable valuation given growth seems a bit excessive. I find the company pretty intriguing.

Interesting $FSLY finding from testing Meta Muse. Through a series of hundreds of tests, it appears that the $FSLY role with Meta Muse is greater than analysts have noted Over the past week, I created several test websites and ran 738 controlled tests to send traffic from Muse agents to my websites I set up analytics on my website, and I was able to track things like IP address, user agent, operating system, etc From the IP addresses, across the 738 tests, Muse sent traffic from: -Cloudflare: 37.0% -Fastly: 29.3% -Meta: 19.4% -AWS: 14.4% Cloudflare is not a surprise – as there has been a lot of analyst commentary about Muse using Cloudflare. Fastly, on the other hand, was a surprising result I ran many different situations and tasks to try to understand why, or when, Muse sends traffic through Fastly – or others. And when I looked deeper, Muse used Fastly for 100% of the tests when browser navigation was required (e.g., “go to my favorite restaurant’s website and find me the menu”). And when Muse was requested to navigate on a website (e.g., make me a doctor appointment), Fastly was used in 100% of tests Then in other situations, for example when an API is involved or a curl request required, Cloudflare was used in 100% of tests Lastly, when requesting Muse to search the web, Muse split traffic through Fastly, Cloudflare, Meta directly, and AWS

StandardAero $SARO announced that Paul McElhinney will be its new CEO, effective Oct 1st. While the reasons behind Ford's retirement after 13 years as CEO are unknown, having a CEO with strong ties to GE is helpful, given that SARO makes its money repairing GE engines. SARO is the value investor's play on the aerospace aftermarket.

Recommend Banyan's substack for anyone researching $STLN, the MASSIVE opportunity for the company, and their ideal position within Oncology today. If you want to skip the industry jargon and go straight to the MEAT just read the summary of the CEO quotes from recent conferences. These guys are crushing it, and it will be a much bigger company imho.
