Update on Loparex, the loan Blue Owl marked from 88 to 5 cents in just 8 months. The restructuring is now set. $OWL's entire ~$160mm 2L gets wiped out for a small piece of equity. Monarch and General Atlantic take control after buying the 1L at distressed prices earlier this year. Looks like the 5 cent mark in June was close to right. The question was always why it was 88 six months earlier...

@dalibali2 Same for $AMZN. Controlling the front end isn’t going to replace low prices (scale) and fast delivery speeds (unmatched physical network).

Visteon $VC announced a $800m buyback (~27% of the market cap) through 2029. With sluggish growth in recent years but solid FCF, cash has been building, and VC has picked up the buying. Things might become interesting again operationally as well. VC is past its toughest 2026 comps and set to inflect on growth (solid wins across 2‑wheelers, commercial vehicles, Toyota, and Asian OEMs). This could mean a return to hsd% organic growth next year, with margins returning to 13%+. Roughly 6x EV/EBITDA.

@StanG42548339 @420yooper69AMC I appreciate it. By putting all that money into $AMC you allowed $AMC to issue more shares. It used that to repay bonds owned by hedge funds and bought at a discount. Hedge funds made money. You lost. Thanks for playing.

Fully understand the threat and disruption to OTAs from agents circumventing to direct sources (no reason for Hilton to pay to get eyeballs on their properties if theres new way to discover availability, demand and price (keep the economics) I struggle to understand the risk to $ABNB though, assuming its from price competition to list (more discoverable so go with platform that charges the least in take rates??). No real ad revenue so even if you change how people engage with the network it does not have the same impact as businesses with paid placements/rankings A long way off from people coding or buying their own booking nd payment system to let bots discover their basement is available for rent. I would add even if this was readily available its highly unlikely to be the model as both parties want an intermediary to rely on for insurance, communications, arbitration, working capital (book, pay later). Interesting to see this one caught up to the same degree think a lot of the e-commerce players with ad revenue and ranking/paid promotional revenue have a lot more at stake
