Not bad earnings at $MCCK. Gold book took a mark to market loss. But core business is kicking at. Revenues up 8.9%. Gross margins expanding. Customer deposits and deferred revenue up 33%. Back out all the cash and gold and this is trading at a dirt cheap multiple.

Honestly $C is pretty fairly valued now, I don't there is much upside at all aside from the entire sector carrying it up. $OPBK continues to be heavily disrespected, think we are entering the "on par with peers phase" where CUBI and OPBK and ASIC have a chance to trade in line with competitors. Implies 20-30% upside on each, but will take some time.

Blackjack 21 hits 36% YTD, 29% above financials. Performance would've been a bit better actually, but I paper handed $WSBF, $HRTG, and $SNEX. Next week, will be adding a small cap financials name to the list, first new member of the Blackjack 21 in months. Below book, repurchasing shares, extremely niche, it'll be a fun one.

I’ve always felt that shares outstanding in microcaps tells you about the soul of Mgmt. So I instantly connected with @bmb21 when he made a similar comment pitching $AMNF at @MSmicrocaps summer virtual: “Share count tells you how Mgmt. feels about the sanctity of the shares.” https://t.co/88XsqxHLKB

Tiny, but perhaps interesting. Neuphoria $NEUP will be acquired by Scancell in an all share merger, resulting in a Nasdaq-listed Scancell (SCLT) alongside Scancell’s AIM listing. The current ratio implies $4.55 per NEUP share (~16% gross spread), plus a few CVRs tied to several milestones. partnered asset milestones. The deal is paired with up to $89m of new financing, plus $10m of Neuphoria cash, to fund Scancell’s Phase 3 iSCIB1+ lead melanoma trial through key readouts into 2029.

This is the kind of stuff that gives microcaps a bad name. $SURG cites a large income number in their press release headline, but the adjusted number is a loss. GAAP accounting allows this, but it’s so wrong and shouldn’t be allowed. Shares are up. Someone’s going to get hurt. https://t.co/kYsB4WXMND
