@OtterMarket This is great. Reminds me a little of $rick. In the investing “business “… sometimes distribution of return matters more than the actual return. Wonder what the drivers of economic return were here. Inflation? M&a?…. Eggs were never going away….

Burford’s value prop is high to these firms, and the significant supply spike puts them in a fantastic position to capitalize on the demand for cash. Additionally settlement with Argentine government seems highly likely at this point. Long $BUR
@RicksCEO Maybe if you did 500 of ebitda, we could afford that one… $rick
$NX 5% of COGS/ direct input costs sourced from China. Tariffs + zero pricing power, high fixed cost structure + only 30% GMs = 25-30% hit to EBIT. Add 4x leverage, declining volumes, ambitious mgmt guidance while integrating a large acquisition is a setup for a trainwreck.
