Many. High level, the $AIRS quarter wasn't as good as hoped, but certainly not something that warranted the kind of response it received. Top of the funnel interest in lipo slowed in June/July. I have my own thesis on the potential impact of the world cup, given the shift in consumer interest in that procedure towards the latina community over the past 15-years. Only time will tell if that's right. Either way, the business is stable and now oriented for growth. Adding new procedures (eye bleph and alloclae) significantly expands $AIRS ability to serve the GLP-1 crowd. My expectation is we'll see the bank deal completed before they report 3Q26 and that could coincide with the announcement of site expansion in early 2027. The growth opportunity here remains monumental. $AIRS has massive inherent operating leverage to improved site level utilization. There was some fast money and retail involved here (clearly!), but this is about the company improving the marketing funnel in absolute lead generation and conversion, driving site level utilization, and expanding on a de novo basis. That's the recipe and obsessing about whether growth should have been 2-4% higher for 2Q26 in that context is irrelevant. This is a business that can be 3-5x the size and still have a runway for growth.

This potential deal for Workday $WDAY by Silver Lake as reported by @MilanaVinn of Reuters is fascinating. I wonder if Silver Lake is going to try to recreate with @aneelb what they did with @MichaelDell Silver Lake has been selling down their $DELL stock for several weeks/months as we have been reporting in our Insider Weekends articles every Sunday on InsideArbitrage. Workday got up to $300 at least twice in the last five years and I would be surprised if the final deal (if it happens) comes in below $250.
