$ULTA Fantastic results and remarkable turnaround. The wait was worth it!

Fun fact, PPD is their largest acquisition since the merger. They spent almost $20B (13% of current Market Cap). PDD does around $8B in sales now so it’s around 20% of revs in CRO. Experts say that they have been gaining share thanks to cross-selling.

Portfolio as of today. YTD performance (in EUR): -10.03%. S&P YTD (in EUR): -12.72% Bad start. Currency affected around -7%, so I still wouldn’t be positive. Lost around 3% of alpha yesterday due to the $EVO recent drop. Huge thanks to @portseido!

$TXN Now is when “geopolitically dependable capacity” kicks in.
Extract from $TXN capital management 👇👇 TI will be the only company in the industry with geopolitical dependable capacity. Moreover, they have the resources to remain competitive in China. With fuzzy concerns, you can only rely on the management, and TI's is top-notch.

After a 6% drop I needed to check if they were closing stores… everything looks fine. Btw, the most beautiful store in the city (Vienna). $MC.PA $LVMH

$ULTA was a no-brainer before earnings. However, still down -18% YTD🫠

Share cannibal with high ROIC in a market with decent tailwinds trading at… 13x. I guess we will be the only two left :)
