Recent investor letters have been unusually rich in Asian stock ideas.
Q2'26 had a bit of everything: compounders, holdcos, AI supply-chain plays, and niche market leaders.
Here are the pitches that stood out most 🧵
Just read the new Mauboussin paper.
~60 pages on public vs private equity with a ton of data.
Best part for me was the PE math, higher entry multiples, less leverage, tougher exits.
Could have some pretty interesting implications for M&A from here.
Worth a read.
Been digging through Q2 2026 investor letters.
Cash-rich duopolies, overlooked breakups and turnarounds with multibagger potential.
Here are my top 10 picks🧵
$DCBO odd-lot worked out much better than I expected.
Offer has now been bumped to $25/share. I exited earlier, but whoever held for the overbid made almost $600.
Still some loose change left on the table, with ~$60 upside remaining.

Fancy a 450-page report on UK housebuilders?
Phoenix Asset Management has a massive activist deck on $BTRW.L.
They see 3–5x upside in the stock.

It's that time of the month.
Another Mauboussin article dropped yesterday. Base rates in the context of OpenAI's projected growth by 2029.
History says it's never been achieved. Can OpenAI do it? Highly improbable.
Wherever you stand on this debate, it's a great read.
Peak EU absurdity.
We are preparing to repair a pipeline Russia itself bombed - to restart the flow of Russian oil we claim to be phasing out - for Hungary, which is blocking €90bn for Ukraine that we’re funding - sans Hungary.
If this is not paid from frozen Russian assets - which it should be, morally and legally -, this move is beyond delusional. We’re subsidising the aggressor instead of making them pay for their own destruction.
That’s clinical-grade masochism - collaboration in our own economic suicide and Ukraine's strangulation.
Amid commodity chaos, it’s time to learn more about energy markets.
One of the best educational resources is Palgrave Handbook of International Energy Economics.
Covers everything from replacement value of energy assets to detailed S&D dynamics👇

From the famous Financial Shenanigans book on stretching out depreciable lives of assets.
Pretty sure, @michaeljburry is right to question hyper scalers and their recent accounting changes even if those may sound justified.
Just a prudent thing to do 😅
