How much would $MCD rally if they changed CEO....capX cycles are not tings investors want to get in front of, and plenty of affordability issues but feels like a new CEO would be given more grace on developing the value menu and reinvigorating the franchisee base then the current team

@EmmaStockNotes Purely eye candy: the biggest compounder is Altria $MO at 442,100,000%. Strip Altria out of the average and it drops to about 15,000%, roughly cut in half.

@Tintincapital @valuehurts Has already happened, no? The $WING and $CAVA style restaurant growth stories have collapsed. Or look at something like Vail Resorts, down 65% off the 2022 peak.

Yes these Celsius $CELH purchases certainly stood out when we were looking at insider buys this week. They were also buying at similar prices in May. Although those Nov 2025 purchases by the same director that was buying this week (Hal Kravitz) and by their COO were not timed well. Kravitz was previously a Coca Cola executive and has been on Celsius' board for over 10 years. We usually like to see opportunistic insider purchases by independent directors with long tenure on the board.

Greenhaven Road @GreenhavenRoad took a full position in Burford Capital $BUR on the economics of its protein price-fixing book: Burford has put more than $150m of its own capital into the chicken, beef, turkey and pork cases, so it keeps all of the upside rather than sharing it with a client and it controls when the cases settle. The track record behind that underwriting: 285+ concluded cases, 90% won or profitably settled, an 82% return on invested capital over a 2.6-year weighted average life for a 25% IRR. The catalyst is dated — the chicken trial against Tyson Foods, Pilgrim's Pride, Koch Foods and Cargill is set for 2027.

@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.

imo the risk is not egg price going lower -- its very low right now, and $VITL gets sells into the premium tier. but the company is exposed to corn/soy. At least the last time I checked it did not hedge. Those have moved up a lot in the past few months, so my best guess is that Vital Farms is getting squeezed rn between low egg prices and high input costs. long term, that could clear the deck of weak competitors. Short term, might make for a rough few quarters.
