Nice call - 100% agree! Having an exclusive retail partnership with Valvoline may make them even more attractive to a potential buyer now. Did you listen to the CEO speak last week? He know his stuff and they are already winning market share... What also makes this interesting is that not only does a sale to Mavis (who bought Pep Boys) make sense, but so does a piecemeal sale since $MNRO has very distinctive brands in different geographical locations.

Local oil change companies using vendors like Halron which get their supply from Shell are running out of OW-20 (includes Walmart / CostCo). Huge benefit to $MNRO who sources directly from Valvoline through an exclusive retail partnership. Soon places like TiresPlus, etc will have to implement massive price hikes that will drive market share for $MNRO. Really interesting situation especially since Ichan has economic interest of 33% in the company (16% share ownership / 16% swap agreement) and recently sold the inferior Pep Boys for a valuation that would price $MNRO at $25+. Now that Pep Boys has closed - wouldn't be surprised to see $MNRO get an offer very soon especially given their prime opportunity to take advantage of coming motor oil shortage.

Michael thank you for taking the time to write this insightful comment. I am not betting on one good looking quarter, however you may be surprised due to the short termism of Wall Street that could be all it takes to move the stock massively. I am not familiar with Hinge's new user experience, I do think $BMBL altering user experience will be good or at least eventually due to them constantly iterating and Whitney doing her best to keep her finger on the pulse of her audience. After listening to interveiws I am glad she is back

I think that is part of the opportunity so many people see the decline in paying users and click run write off $BMBL. management claims this is controlled and part of a quality over quantity reset. I am inclined to believe them but the thesis doesn’t require it due to a margin of safety. Also ask yourself how much the stock would re rate if say renewed marketing spend, new user experience and a focus on quality grew paying subscribers one Q. To me it’s asymmetric

Was a good week for $MTW (cranes), up 10% this week. @mascarosergi recently pitched the stock in his written Q&A style Skull Sessions. Their increasing emphasis on service revenue is interesting, something a lot of construction type companies have been doing over the past few years. It’s the “magic formula” for construction companies, which can result in a huge expansion of historical valuation ratios. You’ve seen that in stocks like $STRL and $BDT.TO. The cool thing about this kind of set up is that a lot of investors won’t believe there will be a valuation re-rate in a cyclical industry, until it’s actually happened… then they’ll say it’s overvalued🤷 Watching closely. Thx Sergi..
