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

Vontier $VNT boosted its buyback to $1bn and intends to deploy at least $125m per quarter, starting Q2. That’ll be roughly 14% of the market cap (annualized). Vontier's share price is under pressure, recently hitting multi-year lows on poor results. But cash flow generation remains healthy, and Vontier has been pressing that buyback button strongly over the past few years.

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
