$GLND is absolutely ripping, now at 4.5. I guess it’s a good thing I don’t short small/microcaps. This would’ve been very painful. https://t.co/KYQBfG9zGK

TIM Brazil $TIMS3.BZ / $TIMB will be buying back ~55m shares over the next 18 months. Not a huge buyback (2.3% of s/o), but this one is notable because s/o have been roughly stable since, what, 2014? Also, the stock is down 40% from ATH over the past few months while TIM keeps growing. We saw something very similar in 2024 (the price action, not the buyback), with the shares moving +100% the following year.

I am fascinated by $FICO. So many people have been blown out by it. Many on X have given up and said it’s going much lower. I haven’t done enough work to even tell you if it’s a buy or not. I just love following these beaten down names. Many once compounders are getting killed now. Building a watch list of compounder names that are getting killed to see what ones are best to own.

$CALM down ~8% pre-market on 1Q27 results Likely another few quarters til cycle turn (?), balance sheet still rock solid, minimal buybacks, dividend is variable so no payout when losing money $55/sh BV (~$50 TBV) vs. $63 pre-market = 1.15x P/B https://t.co/Xx0kmu7j66
