$SOFI
I recently started using the sofi platform. My initial assessment is how amazing NOTO’s vision for the company is.
Giving everyday investors early access to IPO which historically was reserved for higher net worth individuals is another way they are working to get your money right!
@guy369 The two year forward PE tells an even different story, making sofi even more compelling. At 16 times and around the time they will be approaching 18-20 M members. If what I think will play out plays out, folks will look back on today’s prices and feel really good they bought.
$SoFi
On SOFI, this is why I’m bullish.
Robinhood has 27M members and primarily a brokerage/trading platform.
It makes around $157 (estimated) per member per year.
Market cap today is 79B
Sofi has 15M plus members and climbing.
It is a full-service bank/ brokerage platform, it offers loans, mortgages, credit cards, deposit and a brokerage platform.
It makes around $300 (estimated) per member per year. That is around twice compared to Robinhood.
Market cap is 23B
SOFI is at an inflection point. If its membership grows past the 20M member mark, and they continue to innovate better ways to monetize their platform, this stock will have a more better and sustained run than Robinhood did. There is just no way it’s not happening.
$FUBO
Regardless of how we feel about FUBO, we have to celebrate the small wins. This is much needed and overdue, also a step in the right direction.
That said, I’m not sure when the Mediaocean API goes live, this will be opening the door to the entire agency ecosystem — every major ad agency and media buyer that uses Mediaocean’s platform (which is most of them). That’s a massive expansion of demand for Fubo’s ad inventory. This is what can potentially move the ad revenue needle for them.
Company still remains a show me rather than tell me story for now. We are all cheering for FUBO
$FUBO
My honest thoughts on interview.
Like I said before, FUBO is in a place where investors wants to see rather than what what is said, simply put, execution
What ever FUBO becomes depends almost entirely on what Disney decides for it to be. That includes how, when and extent.
FUBO is clearly not a priority for Disney right now. This might be strategic, it might be intentional, it might also be methodical. It’s hard to really pin-point the exact reason behind it.
The reverse stock split was a very intentional approach from Disney. They wanted not only to probably attract the kind of investors they wanted in the future, but also to force out the kind of investors they wanted out of the stock.
Finally when a CEO tells you it took him 30 -60 days to understand the strategy and pivot to the new reality of where and how his company would go. He’s telling you to do same even if it takes longer for you.
I will reiterate what I previously said in one of my old posts.
This stock has a potential, but its growth story needs 4-6 quarters out for clarity.
In my opinion, closer to October next year will determine Disney true intentions for FUBO. If you’re a long term investor, not on margin , you have an edge.
Move FUBO to the bottom of your portfolio and let it sit for now.

$ELF excepts from chat today
Terang and Mandy
Weakness on elf brand we will see high single digit decline for Q1 due to cycling cool off from last year due to order. Scanner decline not where we want. Spring innovation was on a slower start. Reintegrate guide of organic 5 % overall year and it’s the floor.
Elf brand have consumer across income cohort. Price discovery is to cover everyone, low income. Number one brand across Genz, Alpha and millennials
Innovation in Q1 slowdown temporary. Still 2 of top 10 launches. Q2 should see main turn around
Hoping for higher result on soft scanning data.
Learnt innovation launch Does better when there is a direct frame of reference and customer demand
Fall innovations to address this. They have direct frame of reference like prestige items which are more expensive
Pricing on new items due to price cuts going on right now, some innovations were included in the pipeline for 2027 due to consumer demand. Price adjustment/ discovery has nothing to do with new innovation pricing.
On competition . Nothing unusually from competition . Over 1800 brands but many can’t scale like elf. Period are noise. Brand Less depended on comparison or competition, more on innovation, value and competitive advantage is what drives us.
On core Elf international growth and guidance focusing on Driving productivity on core elf and selectively launching in new markets where it didn’t exist.
Naturium fastest growing skin care brand out of 50. More than double business-Walmart, ultra and target. More launches to come
Target at 21% share growth compared to other at 13%. Difference is that target have 5 year head start
Guidance is baseline. Expect better numbers by year end. Do not expect decline.
Price increase compared to pair and percentage of portfolio adjusting pricing on.
Over 45% production currently outside china and it will continue to increase. More to do with global demand and strategic partnership. Naturium in America, Rhodes Italy/ S Korea. China has cost quality speed
Refund to help drive back consumer back and drive momentum back to elf core brand. To help upset softness from price adjustments.
Unit velocity is what we are tracking as a test through the summer and determine price adjustments
Marketing 23-25 % Return? Keeping marketing is needed to continue to drive ROI
Main focus rn is Laser focused on getting elf unit up. Primary focus by far. Show higher unit volume on elf and then market will appreciate the growth in Rhode and Naturium.
What drives business is not noise or competition, it’s driving unit growth
Rhode: Sephora wants Rhode in everyone one of their store. We are slowing down to ensure disciplined roll out and execution
Unit velocity will determine price cuts and extent. Test throughout the summer.
They bought 50M worth of stock back this week due to stock price disconnect vs fundamentals
Elf looking at hair and fragrance. Wait and see

$Portfolio update
AMD has continued to show momentum
Looks like ELF and FUBO have bottomed
SOFI is still a wildcard
I expect AMD to take some breather from here. But who knows.
I expect SOFI to bottom around $14 and start an upward gradual momentum pending any positive catalyst
ELF and FUBO to start a very slow recovery
If the strait of Hormuz stays closed for a few more weeks or the war in Iran escalates any further, prepare for a hard rally downward and a huge market sell off. Embrace it, and buy as much as your funds can carry you. Because the market is like a child with ADHD. It will flip back into buy territory and profit once any of those changes.
$MARKET
Now here are three things for investors to watch on Tuesday following the Memorial Day holiday:
•The Conference Board releases its measure of consumer confidence for May. The index edged up 92.8 in April, topping the 89.4 consensus, despite a rise in gas prices stemming from the Iran war oil shock. On Friday, the University of Michigan revised its measure of May consumer sentiment to the lowest level on record.
•Zscaler (ZS) will report earnings after the bell. The cloud security company is expected to post adjusted EPS of $1.01 on revenue of around $836M. Wall Street is bullish, with 40 upward revisions to the EPS in the last 90 days, with no downward revisions. This week, Zscaler announced a deal to acquire privately held Symmetry Systems to boost its artificial intelligence capabilities.
•AutoZone (AZO) reports earnings before the bell. The auto parts retailer is forecast to report adjusted EPS of $36.22 on sales of $4.86B. There have been 11 EPS upward revisions in the last 90 days, but nine downward ones. The stock is down 4% in the last month.
Will be nice to hear some positive development around the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz
