#E15 👀 "Current reporting indicates a compromise could be reached between the House-passed version of the E15 bill and the Fischer-Capito bill introduced in the Senate in February 2025 by Sens. Deb Fischer, R-Neb., and Shelley Moore Capito, R - W. Va." $ALTO $GPRE

$CB with some pretty chilling, but not entirely commentary on pricing on commercial property lines as the market continues to soften: Pricing on new biz or renewals (-12%) Pricing on the biz they chose not to renew or rejected (-40%) YOY! Otherwise, $CB was brutally honest about the softening across the marketplace in casualty lines and E&S in general. With MGA's flooding the market, this isn't a dynamic that changes overnight. Probably not a great market environment for our friends at $KNSL. Do bulls understand what they own?

@CFAs4CFPs @BATMongoose it was disclosed at trial that GSK tried to buy $ANAB 3 times over the last year. IMHO this is more important than whatever odds I put on the trial outcome. It seems that in all scenarios ANAB gets sold. If they win trial, the $ will be higher. If they dont it will still be fine

Let's congratulate the market and the investment community for a moment on filling the gap from $WDFC on that nonsensical earnings beat. I read the transcript twice and the magnitude of upside in the quarter still didn't make sense. For this kind of business it should have been a simple explanation from management. Instead it was innuendo and evasion.

Yeah, $CPB bulls trying to hold the line on the 2002 and 1995 lows. They have some solid brands for sure, but the management is moronic, the board even worse, they have no clue on capital management, and the balance sheet is a disaster. Everything but the last point is an argument for this business to be sold. However, that leverage.... I guess someone can come in and eliminate the dividend which frees up $450MM in FCF. From there you can probably delever this biz 2-3 turns in a few years. Tough sledding, but there's a lot of wasted advertising across this company, that's for sure.
