@MLedrappier @CalgaryLeveen No doubt a sale of Globalstar to Amazon or SpaceX would be great news for $NN. Especially at the valuations being cited. I am long a small position in $GSAT. This would be an incredible day for NN. Validates spectrum valuations

@DavidBrail Doesn’t seem like they will. But, for the new bid to be worse than Trian’s $49/share cash bid, committee would have to assume $VCTR shares decline 45% to $36. That seems like an unreasonable assumption because Victory would then trade at a 3x P/E.

New $VCTR bid for $JHG. In the slide deck, Victory says the deal will result in +50% accretion. 2027 EPS goes from $7.56 to at least $11.34. The combined company would trade at 6x 2027 EPS.

Hey $KSS...Thanks for showing up today. You 'beat the quarter'. Golf clap. Comp missed. GM missed. Made the FCF number by cutting SG&A and Capex. Basically burning the office furniture. Extended payables -- vendors working with you to stay alive -- until the don't. $NKE will be the first to pull. Then you file...

I recently sat down with @StockJabber at @IdeaBrunchEmail to discuss the strategy behind Multiples Capital's outperformance in 2025. The full interview is behind a paywall, but here are 4 core themes we discussed: 1/ The Multi-Asset Edge While many leaned on the "Magnificent 7," we found alpha in global de-dollarization and the massive electricity demands of AI data centers. This approach delivered a 3.15 Sharpe Ratio—with roughly half the turbulence of the S&P 500. 2/ Garrett Motion ($GTX) Update Since my last feature, $GTX has surged ~170%. We discussed the "perfect storm" of index inclusion and aggressive capital allocation that drove this run, and why the "EV-only" fear proved to be premature. 3/ AI Disruption vs. Mispricing The market is correctly identifying "AI Losers" in SaaS, but it’s applying that same anxiety with broad stroke. We broke down why Expedia ($EXPE) is a prime example of this mispricing, trading at a 12%+ FCF yield despite its essential role in the global travel ecosystem and it's growing B2B setment. 4/ My Favorite "Tokenization" Play We closed with a deep dive into the digitalization of finance. I shared my top idea for playing the tokenization trend, a company currently acting as the "digital infrastructure provider" for institutions and growing it's subscription and service revenues. Read the full deep dive here: https://t.co/kuRyJtSPMh Note: As this is premium content, I cannot share the PDF on a open platform. However, if you’d like to join my quarterly investor letter distribution list to see how we are positioning for the "Broadening Trade" in 2026, please send a DM.
