Burberry ::UPDATE:: ADD

We added to our Burberry position (LSE:BRBY). Burberry is down roughly 45% since our initiation report in February, with today marking a 16% drawdown on the news that the CEO is stepping down on the heels of another bad quarter (same store comps were down 20% yoy and the dividend was cut). When Akeroyd came to Burberry, the strategy was to go upscale to take advantage of the brand heat generated by the new creative director Daniel Lee. The strategy proved aggressive- their core customer was squeezed by both deteriorating financial conditions and higher priced items. Under the new CEO Joshua Schulman...

(NAS:XMTR) Xometry: The Future Digital Manufacturing Leviathan

Xometry (NAS:XMTR) is the leading disruptor in digital manufacturing, connecting businesses needing custom parts with a global network of manufacturers capable of producing those parts. Their platform reduces high search costs, long lead times, and quoting frictions typically associated with hiring smaller (non-contract) manufacturers. Like most class of ’21 IPOs, Xometry came to market too early and at too high a price, which has contributed to a near 85% sell-off since highs. Sentiment has soured, and the market is being overly punitive regarding Xometry’s business fluctuations and even mischaracterizing its...

As I write, RELY is trading at $15.35, marking a new 52-week low. Some analysts have pointed out a slight/tiny revenue miss, but all metrics were within the range management had anticipated.

(LSE:CARD) Card Factory: Unwrapping the Potential

Card Factory, a leading UK-based, vertically integrated retailer of greeting cards and a significant seller of celebration essentials and gifts (balloons, party supplies, picture frames, stuffed toys, etc.), has cultivated a strong brand identity by excelling in value, quality, and selection. Despite competitors possibly matching them on two of these dimensions, it's highly unlikely any can surpass Card Factory across all three. Card Factory is in a position to earn high returns on capital for many years to come. Volumes of the greeting card market are set to remain flat or be in slight decline, and the market is viewing Card Factory as a ...

Doc Martens ::UPDATE:: ADD

One of our core positions, Doc Martens (LSE:DOCS), dropped 34% today before slightly recovering a few percentage points to close down 29% on the day. The market responded to two significant announcements: 1. DOCS issued a trading update forecasting a challenging year ahead for wholesale revenue in FY 2025, continuing the difficulties faced in FY 2024. The market had anticipated better news on the wholesale front. Additionally, the company has experienced single-digit inflation in its cost base, which will not be passed on to consumers in the form of higher prices.

META ::UPDATE:: TRIM

We have trimmed META (NAS:META). It is up 175% since our initiation report in March 2022 (report here). We added to our position in November 2022 as a myriad of fears drove META down 50% from initiation (here). META is a compelling reminder of how inefficient markets can be. In the span of a little over a year, narratives have reversed for META in almost all domains: Contrary to earlier apprehensions, META has weathered the Apple Ad Tracking Transparency storm and now has record engagement and ad revenues; TikTok fears have diminished as the platform has increasingly become a focal point of geopolitical tension;

(LSE:DOCS) Dr. Martens: Timeless Appeal

Doc Martens (DOCS) is a UK-based boot brand that has sold off 80% from its overpriced IPO in January, 2021. The brand has experienced a recent revenue decline driven by several short-term operational and inventory mishaps along with general cyclical challenges in the footwear category. The operational and inventory challenges are now fixed, and it is more likely than not that the footwear category will improve within the next 12 to 24 months. The market is attributing this revenue decline as a possible impairment to the Doc Martens brand but we think this couldn’t be further from the truth. DOCS is a strong...

(NYSE:NRP) Natural Resource Partners: Royalties With Protected Downside

Natural Resource Partners is an MLP that owns the mineral rights to roughly 13mm acres in the Appalachia Basin and Wyoming. Currently, their primary natural resources are thermal and metallurgical coal. Given the low-cost business of collecting royalties with a protected downside, an ownership stake in a low-cost producer of soda ash, and potential upside in carbon capture, we believe NRP is undervalued by at least 30%. Although coal is a dying industry, there are pockets of resilience that should prove durable for the near term, namely metallurgical coal production...

Instances where such brands trade at a significant discount to their intrinsic value are rare. This occurs when the brand has some design mishaps or is undergoing some controversy. Fortunately, luxury heritage brands are very durable and can survive mismanagement.

(NYSE:REX) Rex American: An Ethanol Producer Poised for Growth

AOUT has seen an uplift in expenses driven by increased freight costs, standalone expenses, and an expanded distribution footprint. This amount added up to roughly an extra $10mm/ year in costs; an estimated $25mm in earnings became $15mm. The lesson learned here is to be especially cautious about forecasting expenses on…
