Based on what we've seen so far from Specs, and given private market valuations, could easily see $SNAP sell 20% minority stake in Specs for $2B. Implication is insanely bullish for SNAP equity.

Specs are really cool. All sorts of real world applications. The enterprise apps might have the most commercial potential. This tech is legit. Minority equity investors will be lining up. $snap

The trading action in $LEN should be pretty interesting following a disappointing print and underwhelming guidance (albeit not surprising). The stock trades at tangible book value with a 2.5% dividend yield (that used to mean something) and they look set to buyback 5-7% of the shares outstanding annually. They've moved their entire pricing and gross margin model down to meet the market so they can move volumes. They're moving units in Arkansas at $230,000. There's definitely a market at that price point. There's some controversy about their land bank accounting practices from the work of @hntrbrkmedia, but you still have a biz that's not impairing book and generating profits. Insiders own a fair amount, Berkshire bought last quarter. Is there enough bad news here? Is it finally washed out? https://t.co/j7W0oY1pY5

This is an absurdly large deal relative to the size of $GNRC. Candidly, I'm not sure why $AMZN just didn't buy the company. I can make a strong case that over the next few years they could do a lot with the residential biz on the backup generator and BESS side. That's just me. Maybe they get their eventually. We'll see.

Blackstone? ✔️ Alphabet? ✔️ 10 banks salivating to provide $22bn in chip financing? ✔️ All for Crux AI, a company that launched THIS month (w/ $5bn equity from $BX). Crazy to remember this asset class barely EXISTED not too long ago https://t.co/hT0pjvDgKI

Given what is happening with most housing related stocks including Floor & Decor $FND and $QXO, I would have expected to see more insider buying at these companies but that is yet to materialize. We did see the home builder D.R. Horton $DHI increase its stock buyback authorization by an additional $5 billion yesterday (nearly 13% of market cap). The last insider purchase at the company was in 2014. With mortgage rates going up, it might be too early to get into this industry but I am starting to get interested.

Waystar $WAY putting itself up for sale just a little over two years after it went public at $21.50 is surprising to me. I used their product when I used to work in healthcare services. As most startups in healthcare services eventually realize, the money is often made on the backend RCM (revenue cycle management) side of things. Waystar is an essential link between hospitals/clinics and insurance companies helping with claims processing and rejections. Think of them like a midstream oil pipeline company connecting the independent oil & gas producers with refiners. They have hired Evercore $EVR and Barclays $BCS is also advising. The stock is down more than 30% over the last year even after accounting for the pop after this sale announcement. Feels like the baby being thrown out with the SaaS bathwater. The financials however look strong to me whether you consider improving gross margin, free cash flow that is better than net income most quarters or stable debt on the balance sheet. Revenue grew 18% year-over-year last quarters and net margin was nearly 13%. So not a GAAP unprofitable SaaS company that is giving way most of the value to employees through stock-based compensation. I'll have to dig into competitive dynamics and understand the business better. What am I missing?
