Worldwide (mainly large cap) valuations, no bargains, only US overvalued.

The Mountain is you is a book that answers many questions I used to ask myself. Personal stuff but also why people here are afraid of stocks while Americans are not.

In the US they grow up with it while kids here are raised with stocks as dangerous (backed by media and politics)

Looks like recession incoming in the US to me. Still the most expensive market with the worst administration ever. Hard to justify these multiples.

That’s a statement from $FTLF Q4 press release. Uncertainty leads to temp lower new investments and that usually leads to a recession.

Most US valuations are too rich for that scenario.

My last US holding is $BRKR-lots of revs from abroad and no dependency on the US customer.

This is a very interesting market reaction on the announcement that the company will soon be the leader in a growing, high margin business. Looking more than 2 quarters into the future isn’t mr. markets thing atm. I got time.

Doing the rough maths helps to reduce the cases you need to dig deeper. Let’s take $ISC.TO as an example. They are mediocre capital allocators so I would leave the exit multiple where it stays now at ~5,5x ev/ebitda. The graph looks promising but let’s translate it into

So we got 3 ponds to fish. The one with the most fishes that are on average even better quality is the one with the - by far - least fishermen.

I wonder which pond you would choose…

Speciality chemicals are an interesting sector with deep moats. The last years were pretty hard for SC companies with too much inventory built by their clients. The worst seems def. behind us. Interesting you still get $AZE.BR for a (adj. for temporary higher wc) DD FCF Yield.

Trifast $TRI.L-another Rockwood (activist) idea:

- RW first bought in early 2023 with "~100% upside in 3-5 yrs" by getting margins back up
- Nick (RW) got a board seat in 2023
- GM went up lately
- stock flat for 2 yrs
- massive buying last days by Nick/RW
- ev/fcf 2026e ~5
