He can also just say "current administration." Cheers!

Saluki Posted February 14 Posted February 14 I picked up a few shares of ISSC and hope to add a little each day as I keep selling off some other stuff. I got lucky a couple of days ago and picked up a few shares of POWW cumulative preferred when it dropped 10% for no reason (sloppy seller? fat finger?). I had other limit orders in for it at different prices, but none got filled Adding a tiny bit of VG each day. I'm glad I didn't go big all at once, but sometimes the opportunity passes quickly like Fairfax after the short report.

I checked on this, NVO revenue are 57.5% (167/290B DKK) in the US, but the US manufacturing site is only the 4th largest site of NVO, which to me indicates they are importing a lot into the US. This makes them vulnerable to tariffs. Trump has specifically mentioned medicine/drug imports a few times as well. Also, NVO is Danish and there is this Greenland thing going on as you well know. I expect we will hear more about this. European tariffs are on the menu, I think by April 1st and I don’t think it’s going to be a joke. Edited Saturday at 05:42 PM by Spekulatius

Definitely multiple expansion because they outperformed the competition for quite some time.

On a personal note, I really feel like I'm living in a dream/simulation reality. It's like, there are these supposedly great compounders out there, constellation software, waste management, transdigm, costco, etc., and then I listen to a podcast, and what the heck, there's another great compounder that isn't some new flash in the pan company, but - like Cintas - has actually been around for decades and decades. Always something new or new to learn.

Did he buy a value line subscription and disappear burying his nose into undervalued stock after undervalued stock? Or has he disappeared from the forum entirely!?

Mgmt has mentioned for a few Qs now (if memory serves) that they are optimistic that deal volume is turning…but doesn’t seem to materialize. Also, are you looking at comps? Have they seen similar volume declines? I notice WK stock is also down from its highs…

Have they seen similar volume declines? I notice WK stock is also down from its highs… Its about 6% still. It was down 20% today and I added 25% so no real change. The financial service revenue tied to mergers and IPOs is cyclical and I agree management has been rosy with projecting a turn for at least 18 months now. The stock was hammered for guiding 4% lower YOY revenues compared to Q1'24 and missed revenue by 10M in Q4 based on mergers and IPOs coming in lower than expected. WK and the whole sector listed company financial services is down. I pay attention to the SaaS compliance software making up 42% of revenue which is durable and growing at 11-13% YoY. In the long run, print is going to run-off to 0 and you are going to have a boring SaaS company serving a large percentage of publicly listed companies with a cyclical one off financial services support to mergers and IPOs giving a kicker when activity ticks up. My fear is the cutting of regulations impacts the SaaS side. So far, this doesn't look like its an issue, so I'm holding my nose and averaging up.
Onefoothurdles Posted Wednesday at 09:04 AM Posted Wednesday at 09:04 AM Sold half of my DFIN position last week only to buy it all back today
