At ~1400 units, DENN could also adopt payments and POS if the KEKE rollout goes well. Table serve is highly lucrative and produces ARPU many multiples of a traditional QSR store. @SavneetS @PAR_Tech $PAR $DENN

https://t.co/eYw2cld5pU More than meets the eye here. KEKE is owned by DENNY's - once a PUNCHH cust. PAR has mentioned that several PUNCHH custs. are returning and we understand $DENN is one of them. Table serv. , POS, Payment, lot to like here. @SavneetS @PAR_Tech $PAR $DENN

Sponsor Bain (50% shareholder) will likely be looking to unload shares as we approach the lock-up expiration date later this summer. $KMTS could be a zero.

$KMTS Recent IPO. Makes $20k bras w defib (not a joke). Impractical product w very low efficacy (per clinical trials). Insurance won’t cover. Burning cash, no valuation support. Zoll has 80% share, $KMTS distant #2. 6/1 FDA approved a much better alternative by Element Sciences.

$PRIM $500M new project broke ground. Not deep on the name but this is a pretty massive program for $PRIM and does not appear anyone noticed. "430-megawatt development from Arevon Energy, an offshoot of utility and energy contractor Primoris Services Corp" https://t.co/1egNflZ1X8

@OtterMarket $rick is more cyclical than I expected. Definitely can’t open new ones. Weak capacity closes/comes out for sure… and ideally shares get bought out and so do other assets on cyclical lows. The assymetry here is actually pretty after a 3 yr tailspin.

@OtterMarket Exactly like $rick

@OtterMarket This is great. Reminds me a little of $rick. In the investing “business “… sometimes distribution of return matters more than the actual return. Wonder what the drivers of economic return were here. Inflation? M&a?…. Eggs were never going away….
