If we assume the R2 VIN #5 story is true, we can also assume they made a handful of production R2 at this point. If pressed to make a comment that "customer deliveries have begun", they probably would have to use the below photo to show which customers got their R2.
You for damn sure RJ got VIN #1.
Reading through $BN's 2015 shareholder letter now.
They say the public entities ( $BIP, $BEP ) are a retail-version of their private funds.
Owners of high quality assets with stable and inflation-linked cash flows that increase in value over time.
$BAM Fee Related Earnings are accelerating - which is exactly what they said would happen.
Margins are at all time highs, and they expect the acceleration to continue in 2026.
Solid.
Question about $BAM:
It's reported that its annualized carried interest is now $1.2B.
This assumes that its targets are met on existing funds.
Should you add this value to current earnings to get a better view of how the business is being valued?
@Hilbe@KevinMelnuk I could see them going either way. Greater profit margin with performance or getting it out to the masses with the dual. I think the dual will appeal to the mass market. Either way I’m excited to see the configurations.
@Fiat_iceberg I’m zooming out. It was only last fall when we saw these prices. We haven’t seen the effects on earnings yet. The discounts could get a lot deeper. I’ll nibble now but wait before fully committing
@Hilbe If they can’t get production numbers higher, probably the scout. With the number of pre-orders, I think they have to find a way to ramp production relatively quickly or risk losing potential customers. The 1 shift comment was a surprise to me.
