@MichaelGielkens On FRE margins at 70%: "I think you can look across our largest peers and in no cases, will you see operating leverage between management fees and operating expense"
Let's be honest, though, this isn't just about Iran. Or oil prices, or tariffs, or whatever else. People are sick of the whole clown show, dealing with a President that insists on making himself the center of attention in every aspect of American life.
$APG quietly executing, growing rev/EPS 20%+. 16% organic growth in Q3, 9% in fire & safety and 30% in specialty. Hinted DD org growth in 27. Closed 13 deals YTD. Private this week told me API is consistently most disciplined buyer in sector where scaled assets trade 15-20x.
@stockthoughts81 IIRC $ORLY is only doing scaled deals for new geographies and otherwise repo - sounds like answer is combination of density already achieved in target markets + valuations for tuck ins.
@leevalueroach Laughable take. A shitco that does $90B pretax, $1T market cap and strongest balance sheet in the history of capitalism. BRK has 25 employees at HQ - chair role is about culture and continuity. I don’t own the stock either, but come on bruh. Don’t tarnish the 🐐for likes.
