$PDEX: Pro-Dex (PDEX) makes powered surgical handpieces (drivers and shavers) used mainly in orthopedic, thoracic (chest), and CMF (face/skull) surgeries. They design, build, and repair them primarily for medical device OEMs (one big customer drives most sales), plus some precision machining for aerospace/defense after a 2026 acquisition.⁠ New/upcoming products: Ongoing next-generation orthopedic handpiece for their largest customer (contract through 2028). Helios Pro: latest off-the-shelf CMF/cranial driver with their adaptive torque-limiting software (released for production). Articulating attachment (in development; targeting production spring/summer 2027). Monogram validation units (with Monogram Technologies/Zimmer Biomet; expected later in FY2027). Other roadmap items include a spinal driver and smart driver. Quick Pitch Market Cap $202m=Enterprise Value. Warren Buffett's Owner's Earnings of $13.45m resulting in a 15x multiple. W/C consistently a drag on cashflow. Feb 2026 acquired APM getting them into aerospace and defense. Repair revenue (probably high margin reoccurring) declining as largest customer shifts away from legacy devices. CEO been with co since 2006 and CEO since 2015. CFO been CFO since 2015

$EMBC: Embecta (EMBC), spun out of Becton Dickinson in 2022, makes the pen needles and syringes people with diabetes use to inject insulin. Its U.S. pen needle business is shrinking from lost share and price cuts, and more patients are moving from daily insulin shots to weekly GLP-1s. To offset that, it is selling its needles inside the boxes of generic GLP-1 drugs, already launched in India, Canada and Brazil and targeted at $100M+ in revenue by 2033. It is also launching cheaper needles and syringes for new markets and buying into other drug-delivery products beyond insulin. Quick Pitch $350m Market Cap/$1.62B Enterprise Value. Less than 3x P/E. Warren Buffett Owners Earnings of $122m ex SBC. Cut dividend switched to $100m Buyback authorization that's being used. CEO/CFO/Director/CLO all bought August 12th

$AIRT: Air T is a holding company for aviation businesses. Its companies fly cargo and regional feeder routes, sell and repair aircraft parts, and provide airport equipment, software, and aircraft leasing. Air T owns cargo/feeder flying, aircraft parts and repair, airport equipment/software, and leasing businesses. At $27.70, market cap is about $75m. Enterprise value is about $304m including debt, or ~$351m including leases, earnouts, and minority claims. FY25 cash flow less all capex was $7.8m: a tempting 9.6x market-cap multiple. But working capital contributed ~$22m of cash that year; adjusting for it makes that owners’ earnings proxy negative ~$14.6m. FY26 cash flow less capex was -$41.5m. FY26 net income included a $111m noncash bargain-purchase gain—not operating earnings. No open-market common-stock insider buys found; a July Form 144 tied to CEO Nick Swenson proposed selling 10k preferred securities, which doesn’t confirm a completed sale. Rex could drive growth, but integration, debt, inventory, thin margins, and fuel costs are risks. Air cargo demand is growing: IATA reported +4.4% in August.

$PSIX Q3 results and recent power sector thoughts: The company delivered an exceptional Q3 clean “beat and raise” by any measure — even better than the record Q2 2025, when the stock peaked at over $100, with a much better story today. Yet the stock trades at a fraction of the valuation, Why? Long-term followers know we turned constructive on $PSIX only recently after an extensive amount of fundamental work and have not been afraid to be critical in the past. It was a meaningful position heading into the print. Given broader sector risks, we also held several related short positions as a factor hedge. However, after analysing $ANT S1 filings and election results, we think the narrative has shifted materially over the past week and when the facts change, it’s always important to reassess one’s central beliefs and have opted to close the majority of the long positions in $PSIX (retaining an OTM call option), while keeping all the shorts. The high level math: ~30 GW of behind-the-meter power capacity is scheduled to become available in 2027, scaling to >100 GW by 2030 if the dozen suppliers deliver on announced expansions (many won’t). Absent major changes in U.S. politics or AI model diffusion rates to support far higher collective monetisation rates across the entire industry, rapid buildout of new data centres on American soil can neither be justified economically, nor politically, a view held by the credit markets for some time, but only just beginning to be priced in by equity investors. The behind the meter power industry risks moving quickly into excess in such a scenario, with incremental suppliers at especially high risk. $PSIX has been one of the top-performing behind-the-meter power plays we track since our recent full note. Its unfortunate market conditions changed so quickly, substantially reducing the probability of developing into the multi-bagger we envisioned. Congrats to everyone who made money in this sector the past few months, it certainly hasn’t been easy (especially on the long side!) — and have a great weekend! DMs always open for those wanting to discuss further.

Not denying nor confirming my VIC identity and I generally would refrain from doxxxing That write up had zero mention of tax analysis which is why funds can't own it. Buying $1mm of $ARI could result in $520k to $833k of cap gain in 2026 before you get any distribution. IMO, whoever ranted against that write up is doing all the members a tremendous service. I personally did a week worth of work on it and talked to some of the smartest folks about REIT liquidations and taxes. I finally found a solution that I feel comfortable with. I didn't buy it in the fund I manage due to the 2026 cap gains. But I found a bespoken solution that I think works for me
