Some notes on this post: 1) Not all of the $99.9M paid down lease debt. $BRUN's finance lease liabilities rose $207.7M on $268.3M of new finance leases, so the payments cut finance lease debt by only $60.6M. Most of the other $39.3M went to advance payments to secure new GPU leases ($37.5M in H1 2026, per the 10-Q's lease note), and the $39.7M of investing outflows paid for equipment and lease prepayments. So more than half of the $139.6M subtracted from operating cash flow was growth investment, while $BRUN added $337.3M of new GPU equipment in H1 2026. 2) The Cohere contract is also set up to be financed against. Cohere "acknowledges that Boost Run finances the equipment, facilities and working capital required to deliver the Services in part against this Agreement." $BRUN can assign its right to receive Cohere's fees to a financing party, and Cohere's obligation to pay undisputed fees is "absolute and unconditional." So $BRUN can borrow against Cohere's payments to pay for the racks, rather than funding them only from its own cash. 3) The material weaknesses behind the controls amendment weren't new. The amended Q1 10-Q says all three were "previously disclosed," including in $BRUN's S-4 (the merger filing). So the amendment corrected the original Q1 10-Q's "effective" conclusion to match weaknesses $BRUN had disclosed before the merger. 4) The CFO award's size dates to the merger, before the controls amendment. CFO Erik Guckel's May 8, 2026 employment agreement, signed when the merger closed, made him eligible for a one-time award covering 2,890,761 shares (time-based RSUs, performance-based RSUs, and options). The compensation committee's September 29, 2026 grant is 2,890,000 time-based RSUs.

@tailrisked And demand isn't what's holding $QMCO back. Backlog went from an $8-10M norm to $45M by March, then set another record in Q1, and Meyrath said IBM drive availability now caps growth, not orders. The LTO royalty also hit $2.3M in Q1, the highest in years. https://t.co/9Vt2Y1iZt0

$ABVX Couple things I noted today. 1) The ABVX fans love to talk about how bad this specific stock is. But looking at a group of late-stage, pre-commercial biotech peers since August 20th, the weakness looks a lot less ABVX-specific. ABVX is down ~26%, versus a peer median of ~27%. Different stories and catalysts, but ABVX is right in the middle of the group. 2) The latest Markit securities-lending update shows a sharp drop in reported shares on loan, from ~2.6m to ~460k. My read is that this is consistent with the possible “large short” I previously flagged having covered. The drop shows up in the October 21 data, immediately after the October 20 +5.8% rally, which has since largely fizzled out. Disclosure: Creek Drive and its affiliated funds holds a long position in ABVX. Views expressed are current opinions for information only, subject to change and are not investment advice or a recommendation to buy or sell any security. Investing involves the risk of loss and past performance is not indicative of future performance. See the disclosures link in my bio for more important information.

Turning Point Brands $TPB CEO Graham Purdy unexpectedly resigned for personal reasons, with Executive Chairman David Glazek taking over as CEO. TPB also tightened FY26 adjusted EBITDA guidance to $70-80m from $70-90m, assuming no margin benefit from U.S. manufacturing onshoring until 2027 and continued elevated freight costs. Shares down 13%. TPB remains one of the few plays on the growth in nicotine pouch consumption (a KEDM theme).

$CRDO - Others have tried this already. $MRVL and $BDCM have offered merchant AEC DSPs for years. A cheaper merchant DSP hasn’t broken the integrated model so far. Credo’s moat is the system not just the DSP. Credo owns qualification, SerDes, AEC patents, ETC which allow it to keep the full cable end to end. It has deep relationships with five hyperscalers and growing engagement with neoclouds. Anyone that knows the market knows $MXL might try to get a piece of the market but unlikely to get a material piece.

For those scoring at home, THREE c-suite executives have "retired" from their positions at $KNSL thus far this year (COO, CIO, and now the CFO). At a minimum this is a pretty glaring indictment of the company's growth prospects or it could signal something far more troubling. Either way, it raises a lot of questions for a company that has operated with a highly insular culture for a long time.
