Middle Coast Investing @DanielShortman said it owned Trimas $TRS, a metal and plastic packaging company, for over a year and added significantly this quarter. Under activist pressure to break up its conglomerate structure, the company sold two units, most recently its aerospace unit last March. Remainco is a $1.5bn market-cap packaging business that, according to the fund, is in a sweet spot to acquire or even be acquired. Based on Middle Coast’s estimate, it trades at 9.2x EV/EBITDA after spinning off its aerospace unit. (We note that TRS hired a CEO in 2025 with packaging experience, and he’s more likely to be an acquirer than to be acquired).

“We are in active discussions with some of the largest GPU consumers in the world, with requirements ranging from 10,000-50,000 GPUs. Those discussions are not yet contracts, and we will announce them only when they are.” That’s what Boost Run $BRUN CEO Andrew Karos said on the Q2 call. None of my bear, base, or bull cases considers a contract with one of those buyers. At Thinking Machines’ $3.59/GPU-hour, a single 10,000-GPU contract would bring in $314.5M/year, 78.6% of the $400M 2026 target. Karos also said $BRUN is procuring another $4-5B of computing hardware from multiple manufacturers. If all of it were rented out on three-year contracts at 1.4x TCV-to-capex (contract value divided by what the GPUs cost), the hardware would bring in $1.9-2.3B/year, 4.7-5.8x the 2026 target. But if lessors fund 79.5% of the purchases, as they did in H1 2026, $BRUN would also take on $3.2-4.0B of new lease debt. So how $BRUN finances the procurement decides how much of the $1.9-2.3B reaches shareholders.
