$IESC is buying DBM Global from $VATE for $650 Million. Not sure if I am missing something, but DBM's backlog is up 50% year over year, revenue up 25%, and they agreed to sell it for 11x earnings. What?

McIntyre Partnerships @Mc_Partnerships considers QuidelOrtho $QDEL a once-in-a-decade opportunity, as the company is reportedly selling its Point-of-Care division to deleverage and fund a share buyback. Note this was written before a potentially thesis-changing Q2. Previously flagged in KEDM Vol. 281.

@Adam17609412325 @BillRoman15 Earnings quality legit? Say what? Doing $40/share isn't a high hurdle for $GPI to clear next year (even if they stumbled on the used car side in Q2 and might have a bit of a rebranding headwind in H2 '26).

Humanoids down under! While it may surprise, Appen $APX.AX used to be the world's largest data labeling company, but it lost market share to $INOD because it was slow to adapt its tech stack and lacked product-market fit. However, their Chinese business (China's largest) continues to do well and has really seen an inflection; all the forward hiring trends we see are extremely strong. So if you believe Chinese AI and robots have any relevance globally, they should benefit. Yours truly for sub-1x revenues, because most Australian investors still have this stock on a blacklist after losing their shirt last cycle.

@Jono8325 @MLedrappier @roadkillrecipes @CalgaryLeveen @FishOnCapital $NN Someone asked my opinion. I provided it. I am sorry if it makes you frustrated that things often take longer than we expect. It has been my life experience that things take longer than expected. That said, I am very positive on the next couple of months with NN.
