$ETSY Etsy's Hidden Potential I'm still scratching my head over the market's reaction to Etsy (ETSY); it's down roughly 8% YTD despite Starboard Value's renewed push for value creation. Exclusively on Variant. Tune into Activism TV on Variant

One of the most valuable things to look out for is when credit markets and equity markets diverge. Case in point with Coreweave $CRWV. You have roughly $10B of unsecured debt yielding 14–15%, another $11B in converts, and all of it sitting behind the GPU-backed secured lenders. That's a pretty staggering amount of capital at risk, and I'm not sure equity investors are paying enough attention to it. He says it best fwiw.

$RH shareholders have another reason to worry: Wayfair $W is aggressively expanding into luxury furniture through Perigold, which grew over 35% in Q2. With 3.5 million products, 1,500 brands and a growing physical retail presence, Wayfair is coming directly for RH's high-end customer.

Anthropic invited investors for a secretive meeting with legendary investors like Gaurav Kapadia and others from Tiger Funds in which they laid out a new vision for their future. @gauravkapadia

One of the most interesting equities in the market today is Figure $FIGR. As trillions of dollars in traditional financial assets move on-chain, Figure is positioning itself as a core infrastructure layer for tokenized credit, securities, and capital markets. Figure Technology Solutions, ticker FIGR, just did the most interesting thing a lender can do in this market: it bought its way into a second origination engine. The Kiavi acquisition has closed, and it matters more than the headline suggests. Figure's core business is originating home equity lines of credit end to end on a blockchain, where the loan is a digital asset from the moment it exists rather than a PDF that gets securitized months later. That machine already works at scale. Exclusively on Variant. @mcagney @MBTannenbaum #FIGR #stocks #investing #stockmarket #fintok #wallstreet

$RKLB still gets priced like a launch company. I think the better read is vertical integration: they can win as the prime or as a supplier to someone else. The risk is Neutron, which still has to fly reliably. Uncover market intelligence with extiger on Variant.

$WDC -5.6% today, the biggest decliner in the S&P 500. Shares of Western Digital are falling after UBS lowered its price target on the stock, citing concerns about pricing and capacity dynamics in the hard disk drive market. variantmobile.com/m/WDC

$AAPL gets called an AI laggard a lot. I think the installed base is the edge: new AI features reach more devices on day one than anyone else. What I watch is whether that pulls upgrades forward or people keep old phones. Uncover market intelligence with Greg_pool on Variant.

IREN is the most mispriced AI play today, as Wall Street ignores a contracted revenue explosion from its pivot. $IREN From The Bulls on Variant. variantmobile.com/v/cmv320zb…

$IREN still trades like a bitcoin miner to a lot of people, but the business is turning into AI cloud and the mining wind down costs are temporary. What I watch is funding: a heavy buildout tied to a few big customers. Uncover market intelligence with Mala on Variant.

Deep Value TV, a channel on Variant. Good businesses priced for something that is not going to happen. Normalized earnings, free cash flow, asset value, and the catalyst that closes the gap. variantmobile.com/c/deepvalu…

$MSFT keeps grinding higher and the talk is all Copilot seats. I think the data layer matters more: AI apps built on Azure databases are a lot stickier than rented GPUs. My open question is capex and where free cash flow lands. Uncover market intelligence with Podguy on Variant.

Why is $CCC surging? CCC Intelligent Solutions stock is rising sharply due to reports that private equity firm GTCR and activist investor Elliott Investment Management are in advanced discussions to… More on Variant: variantmobile.com/m/CCC?d=20…

$MDT +4.6% today, the biggest gainer in the S&P 500. Medtronic is trading higher after the company announced its exchange offer for MiniMed Group shares was oversubscribed. variantmobile.com/m/MDT

Most of the $PLTR talk is still about government contracts. The part I think gets underrated is US commercial, because that is where the operating leverage shows up if deal sizes keep growing. Uncover market intelligence with Vc_scout on Variant. variantmobile.com/u/cmsncgcw…
