I normally don’t reference SeekingAlpha but I thought this was a great analysis of Altius Minerals.

+1 

 

Love to see it. This has been the thesis since I first found the company in 2012 when they had a single producing royalty, $200M in cash, and a hopeful Kami development.

 

The path didn't end up quite that simple and the progress was hidden for years behind share issuance/debt service for the Potash royalties and a weak commodity market in general until 2021. 

 

It still seems under followed and under appreciated - the share price took days to move following the sale of the gold royalty for an amount  that was a significant chunk of the market capitalization of the whole company. And it took weeks more to appreciate the reinvestment of those proceeds by taking out Lithium Royalty corp. Plenty of opportunity in this name to buy AFTER the news has been announced and I had added after both. 

 

All that being said, I reduced my position by ~10% last week. Altius has been the only name in my portfolio performing YTD and all other names are flat to down over a 6-12 month period so took some off the table near ATHs to buy other names.

Blackberry stock price has jumped up by around 41.5% in the last one week closing at USD $12.48 yesterday!

 

This stock price appreciation has come after reporting strong fiscal Q1 earnings  that beat Wall Street expectations, fueled by a 26% year-over-year revenue jump. The partnership with Nvidia to integrate it's QNX operating system into Nvidia's Thor development kit is paying off.

 

Great news for FFH stock holders.

They might have sold the position. We know they sold some earlier in the quarter to go under 5%.

Eurobank is planning to invest €1 billion by 2028 in Digital banking, including AI.  There is quite a bit of detailed information from this presentation.  I have pulled out a few interesting comments.

At the centre of the strategy is the largest technology investment programme in Eurobank’s history, with approximately €1 billion earmarked for the 2025 to 2028 period to strengthen infrastructure, cloud technologies, data capabilities, AI and new digital services.

 

It said the strategy rests on three interconnected pillars.

 

The first focuses on using data and AI to anticipate customer needs and deliver highly personalised services.

The second aims to simplify customer interactions through conversational digital banking.

The third integrates banking and non-banking services into broader digital ecosystems designed to create additional value for customers and businesses.

 

A significant part of the presentation focused on artificial intelligence, which the bank said is playing an increasingly important role in customer service, productivity and innovation.

 

Its AI ecosystem includes EVA, the bank’s customer virtual assistant, myEVA, an internal AI voice assistant for staff, the GenAI Factory platform and the Digital Brain programme.

 

AI is already being used in areas including mortgage assessments, customer feedback analysis, contract processing and the development of new digital services.

 

Eurobank said its GenAI Factory combines Microsoft Azure, EY.ai Agentic Platform and NVIDIA accelerated computing, while a strategic partnership with Fairfax Digital Services makes it one of the first banking groups in south-eastern Europe to adopt structured Agentic AI solutions.

 

The bank is also developing an enterprise-wide Digital Brain with Accenture to integrate AI throughout customer experience and internal operations, while its Global Delivery Centre in Pune, India, established with LTM, formerly LTIMindtree, and Fairfax Digital Services, supports innovation across the group’s international operations.

 

Eurobank added that more than 1,500 employees completed specialist AI training programmes totalling over 17,000 hours during 2025 and 2026, while the bank continues supporting the MSc in AI for Digital Transformation at the Athens University of Economics and Business.

 

Its Digital & Technology Hub has recruited around 250 new professionals in recent years, while its Digital Factory, comprising 13 agile teams and 146 specialists, has reduced the development time for new digital products from approximately 30 weeks to just eight weeks.

Kennedy Wilson likely delayed these announcements until after the acquisition by Management and Fairfax has closed.  It will be interesting to see how Kennedy-Wilson grows over the coming years.

Does anyone know if there is any truth to these statements.

Thanks for this.  A short markdown note on FDS.  Sanjay Tugnait is a super intriguing IT exec and I have always felt that FDS may prove to be a minor but material part of the Fairfax story.  It’s an intriguing possibility that the work they are doing at Eurobank and the other subs may scale to larger ambitions.
