Unbelievable

[Zane Hengsperger @zanehengsperger]

A $5B fund just bought a metals distributor that scaled to billions of revenue since 1948 with ZERO outside capital.

1/ lindsay goldberg is taking a majority stake in alro steel. founded 1948. 80 locations, 16 states, 50,000 customers. closes end of october. JPM ran the deal.

2/ the buyer closed fund vi in january. $4.9b against a $4b target. 40% larger than the last fund. over 85% of existing lps re-upped. $24b raised since 2001, $17b deployed, $26b returned.

3/ 66 platforms and 350+ add-ons across those funds. about five bolt-ons per platform. alro is not as much the as it is the platform..

4/ they have run this in metals before. klockner in 2005, public by 2006, fully out in 2007. vdm metals in 2015, sold to acerinox for 532m euro. stelco out of creditor protection in 2017, public that november.

5/ and it is not just them. ryerson and olympic steel closed their merger in february. russel metals bought seven kloeckner branches. wynnchurch rolled american metals supply into ems in may.

6/ every one of these deals is buying the same thing. branches closer to the customer. in this industry that is what a shorter lead time is made of.

7/ there is more than one way to shorten a lead time. this one costs billions

@HankJr in the Tigers clubhouse after the win, I’m here for it!

[Kevin @MichiganKevin]

@HankJr how about these Detroit Tigers?

[Brad Galli @BradGalli]

The Tigers sang along together as they celebrated their playoff series win over the Guardians.

Their song of choice? 'Dinosaur' by Hank Williams Jr.

Won’t be talked about much but what a play by Will Vest to recover.

Just been drilled in the face covering, picks the ball up right away, feet like a short stop, fires a strike from a random never practiced angle & gets him by 2 inches. Huge.

[Kevin @MichiganKevin]

@TSDRLB Absolutely pathetic leadership, dumbfounded how the people in charge have lasted so long. Great potential product, but zero care for their customer base.

[Kevin @MichiganKevin]

@DrewAustin Yeah because maybe the 50th time they have done something like this it will be different……I won’t hold my breath. The entire leadership team needs to change, the place is a joke.

[Kevin @MichiganKevin]

@roham @VinceCarterLast @roham you are a clueless moron. Now you want to have a plan of attack to address this? How about it doesn’t happen in the first place? How about caring about your customer base and not being blood sucking vultures? Hire somebody with a brain please to run the product!

Together, the EU and the US are a market of 800 million people.

And nearly 44 percent of global GDP.

It’s the biggest trade deal ever ↓ https://t.co/rG3cHebXEk

[Howard Lutnick @howardlutnick]

President Trump just unlocked one of the biggest economies in the world. The European Union is going to open its 20 Trillion dollar market and completely accept our auto and industrial standards for the first time ever. In addition, it will purchase $750 BILLION in energy from us and invest $600 BILLION in America.

Our Tariff will be set at 15% across the board.

Today is a historic day for U.S. trade and will strengthen our relationship with the European Union for decades to come.

@IlhanMN You are pathetic, I can’t believe you are allowed to represent this great country. Retweeting an AI video, a sitting congresswoman that is dumber than a box of rocks.

@elonmusk @elonmusk wants justice now for all wrong doings. @realDonaldTrump realizes that most of government is corrupt, and you can’t rid the system of evil in it’s entirety immediately. Nor can massive concessions on spending happen overnight, it has to be slow change to avoid a mutiny

[U.S. Senator John Fetterman @SenFettermanPA]

As I’ve long maintained, this was the correct move by @POTUS.

Iran is the world’s leading sponsor of terrorism and cannot have nuclear capabilities.

I’m grateful for and salute the finest military in the world. 🇺🇸
