$BMBL looking past GAAP accounting like a 1x Owner's Earnings multiple, not shrinking fast, executing turnaround strategy and optimizing for quality over quantity. Founder back, paying off debt more than doubles the equity. Which the FCF says they can do. https://t.co/6byxo2vb8s

I see this a lot in the investing business. For example, the young fiery aggressive fund managers of the 1990s, who called out dishonest bad management, are now behaving like the companies they used to vicisouly attack. Stuff like $GLRE or $HHH.

Could see $JACK, $WEN, $PZZA all go bankrupt. Probably others across the QSR space (subway, Pizza Hut some of the more challenged private operators) -- to be fair some of these could get acquired too but interesting how that would play through commercial real estate and impact the non distressed survivors -- very challenging space with prices having soared (affordability) and consumers pushing back or finding better/comparable value at a Chili's etc. Freight costs (diesel and trucker shortage from policy moves) and food costs that are/will escalate (freight and commodities) is going to bring new challenges to margins. Menu prices likely need to reset lower across many of these chains but that is a very difficult process for owners and franchises to accomplish especially while input costs continue to rise. GLP1s hurt overall volume trends as well but......look out to automation/robotics in store and how trends tend to switch back to QSR/fast food in a more stressed economic condition there might be select opportunities in the coming months for a few players as prices have/are resetting fast across tis space

Well, I guess $MG won’t be buying $ACFN. $MG gets acquired by H.I.G. Capital (investment firm). Next step, let HIG know about this little unknown company called Acorn Financial… and that it didn’t show up on their screens because it’s not a bank, as the name would imply🥹 https://t.co/zgmKJt0EiN
