$HAWK now trading around $17.15, or -34% below its $26 IPO price. Initial lock-up expired last week, but I think it is unlikely many shares will come to market at these prices. $HAWK is also being added to the $IWM. $HAWK continues to have strong defense tech tailwinds, and they now have $500 mm+ of cash on hand. Valuation is now much more attractive and below the $18.86 price of their pre-IPO Series E financing.

@Maku_Capital It's a long list, some secular dynamics, some specific to $CASY, and competition, lots of it. This is not the right platform for me to lay out my entire short thesis....

$GME has 50%+ leases expiring in FY2026 and another 24% in FY2027 Maybe some risks in re-leasing at higher costs, but this is a huge advantage to walk away from unprofitable or underperforming stores fast https://t.co/mbsvLtgudI https://t.co/peHc0ImMzs

Anyone have thoughts on $B going into the North America spin post-Newmont settlement? Feels like it’s been a pretty consistent laggard vs. the gold peers despite the potential value unlock. Curious what I’m missing. https://t.co/0qYNp2oMpe

@CDInewsletter Nice piece. Absolutely agree on owning ones with strong brands/balance sheets like $HSY over the optically cheaper ones that are dividend cut risks. Also quite remarkable how well $KOF has done, as you mentioned, versus the U.S./Canada peers.

@freakyguy666 @jcosta29 not sure which trade you’re referring to but crushed most, though not all of the short term $TSLA trades when i was making them a couple yrs back. has been a while

I miss when $AAPL keynotes used to feel like Christmas morning. Sure you knew a new iPhone was coming but outside of that you pretty much had no idea what Steve was gonna whip out Tomorrow we get the foldable iPhone and it feels like pretty much every detail has already leaked. I think it’ll be pretty cool / underrated given where sentiment feels on it but I miss the mystery

$MCD traded at 15x PE in 2012, when just 81% of stores were franchised. Today 95% are franchised, the balance sheet is twice as levered and they have already raised prices far faster than competitors. Is this a table pounding idea at 19x NTM pe? https://t.co/whFq0xVa5y
