@buysidedigest @GHadjia The market has destroyed high leverage type businesses as rates have escalated. $PAR besides its business challenges staying relevant in a new AI world (still to be seen) is caught in the basket with names like XRAY, FOUR, CCOI, PZZA they have all been rapidly sold this month

Teleflex $TFX closed the $1.5bn sale of its OEM business to Montagu and Kohlberg, with the deal delivering ~$1.25bn after-tax, and Teleflex paying down $800m of debt and advancing its $1bn buyback (now ~17% of market cap). They bought back $250m worth of shares in the last quarter, and you can expect them to continue this pace over the next few quarters.

Ryan Cohen just bought another $10 million of $GME in the open market. This is over $60 million in less than a month. Is there any company with insider buys this big? Wall Street is completely ignoring this stock. They are asleep at the wheel drooling all over their fat bellies. https://t.co/FOlZ2vnFnC
