Increased AKO1L (Akola Group) position by 40% ahead of FY 2024-2025 earnings. Too bad I was busy to absorb stellar Q2-Q3 reports in time, price ran away quite a bit. Few comments why: -Q2, Q3 profit drivers were poultry and raw milk. Chicken pox in Poland, supply constraints after market downturn forced some players out, and prices, that kept rising throughout Q4 (end June 30) -wholesale electricity prices were more muted in Q4, with highly windy June In Baltics -Alytus factory in Q3 was still undergoing machinery calibration with revenue ramping under pressure and added cost, both of which should be gone by Q4 (according to CFO) -although raw milk prices are on decline, they are still +30% YoY for July in Lithuania -revised EBITDA guidance for FY from 70-90 -> 80-100M EUR Too much hastle nowadays to attach pics on nostr, besides I don't even know if note is saved on any relay anyway. ref:
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GwsuJHPW8AADhE2?format=png&name=900x900 Finally updated excel portfolio. Current composition. As you can see I've been working on that cash position by means of .. work. Note: not included: $ANGI, that was split from $IAC sometime this year and I'll be after I go through recent recent calls there.
Opened a small position of $INTC. Will update portfolio composition tomorrow. Wiped from work today. Basically trusting Lip-Bu Tan on Intel turnaround and loved technical setup posted few days ago. Listened Q1 EC & BAC conf. Main points that stuck out: -Strong balance sheet -cutting layers of management. Lip's been attending shit ton of meetings w/ clients, engineering, polling talent -likes to underpromise and overdeliver. Analyst asked CFO why guide so weak Q2. A: tariff orders pull, BUT ALSO, so Intel can beat, basically -Contrary to my previous view, ARM in server is mostly for HPC own workloads, software support is just not there yet -ofc, pulling their sleeves in catching up with product. Might trade, might hold, will see how story unfolds
Very few U2/Bono tracks have pushed through my taste wall. My understanding this version of Sunday Bloody Sunday is a special rework for Bono's movie Stories Of Surrender. Just beautiful. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GwkGSKoWMAAu-zn?format=jpg&name=large #GLMusicDiscovery
WTF Pat Gelsinger? New Intel CEO on his observations: "I’ve been surprised to learn that, in recent years, the most important KPI for many managers at Intel has been the size of their teams. Going forward, this will not be the case."
