Реальная доходность свободного денежного потока (FCF) Adobe составляет >8%, а чистая доходность обратного выкупа акций >5% за 16 лет; 800 млн пользователей freemium-версии генерируют проприетарные поведенческие данные о творческих рабочих процессах, которых нет у моделей ИИ общего назначения. Рынок ошибочно воспринимает freemium как фактор размытия, но в эпоху специализированных ИИ-агентов этот массив данных становится все более глубоким «рвом», обеспечивающим превосходную монетизацию — подобно freemium-модели Anthropic, но с корпоративной дистрибуцией. Рекомендуем длинную позицию по Adobe как по высококачественному инструменту сложного процента, где обратный выкуп акций по текущим ценам математически оправдан, а «ров» из данных недооценен. Размытие из-за freemium-модели оказывает давление на ценовую политику; SEMRush завышает рост выручки; отсутствие покупок акций инсайдерами; текучесть кадров в руководстве может сигнализировать о более глубоких проблемах.

20%+ True FCF yield; 96% revenue correlation to US nominal GDP over the last 5 years. High, stable FCF yield tied to nominal GDP growth suggests the market is mispricing a defensive cash machine. Comcast is a deep‑value play with a wide moat from its NGDP‑integrated revenue base. Fiber competition, Peacock losses, rising debt costs, regulatory changes.

True FCF yield 7%, stock down -46%, top-line growth ~9% with proprietary stock market data. LLMs need structured context – FactSet owns the irreplaceable financial data moat; market punishes the sector indiscriminately. "AI context" play – data monopoly with steady growth, overlooked by the market. Competition from Bloomberg terminal or AI-powered data aggregators; slowdown in financial services spending.

Roper trades at a 6.2% true FCF yield with a shrinking share count, and the author explicitly calls it “a buy.” Two-sided marketplace network effects at DAT protect Roper’s niche software assets and can compound nonlinearly over time. ROP is a high-quality FCF compounder with a durable data-driven culture and marketplace moat. ROP is a roll-up; integration missteps or multiple compression could undermine the FCF yield thesis.

The author holds 18.79% of their portfolio in USFR (floating rate treasuries). Cash equivalents provide explicit optionality and capital preservation for scenarios where the negative equity risk premium resolves violently (a market crash). Hold short-term/floating treasuries as dry powder to deploy after a market correction. Opportunity cost if the market continues to rally and multiples expand further.

Fairfax Financial trades at 1.3x book value while growing book value at 20%+ annually. It acts as a float compounder with opportunistic capital allocation, providing strong downside protection and growth. A superior valuation play in the insurance space compared to peers like HCI. Catastrophe losses impacting float or poor capital allocation decisions.

The author initiated a small starter position in ASML. While the author is bearish on the ROI of AI infrastructure spend, ASML serves as a "price-aware hedge" in case the thesis is wrong about who ultimately wins the AI race. Hold a small position in foundational semiconductor equipment as a hedge against the AI CapEx thesis being incorrect. A broad collapse in AI CapEx would severely impact semiconductor equipment orders.

Snowflake operates in the commodity data-platform layer; SQL warehouses have been re-invented with marginal differentiation each decade. Market has priced infrastructure as the AI “picks and shovels” trade, but switching costs are operational, not epistemic, making SNOW overvalued relative to domain-data peers. Short SNOW as the consensus trade is overextended vs. deeper-moated data companies. Migration pain creates stickiness; AI data pipeline growth could sustain high multiples longer than expected.

Veeva’s FDA-validated clinical trial data structure is irreplaceable and not scrapeable; true FCF yield is attractive. The SaaSpocalypse selloff hit VEEV indiscriminately, ignoring its domain-specific data moat that general AI labs cannot replicate. Long VEEV as a mispriced player in healthcare data that will benefit from AI’s need for structured regulatory content. FDA pushes common data standards; AI licensing deals could erode exclusivity.

Данные CDAO показывают, что у BAH есть один контракт с потолком в $6,4 млрд при обязательствах в $39 млн, а автор указывает рыночную капитализацию около $7,6 млрд, что подразумевает огромный потенциал роста в случае исполнения контракта. Рынок оценивает BAH как устаревшую консалтинговую компанию, находящуюся в упадке, но данные по контракту свидетельствуют о том, что она занимает уровень реализации ИИ для Пентагона. Недавнее приобретение Ultra I&C для граничных вычислений и шифрования напрямую поддерживает выполнение этого контракта на $6,4 млрд. BAH сильно недооценена относительно своего портфеля государственных контрактов в сфере ИИ и недавнего приобретения оборудования; переоценка вероятна, если контракт будет продлен или расширен. Дата окончания контракта — 2025 год, может потребоваться повторный тендер; BAH может потерять статус действующего подрядчика. Сокращение государственного бюджета или замедление внедрения ИИ могут снизить темпы исполнения контракта. Возможны ошибки в данных с USASpending.gov. Никаких дополнительных практических торговых идей прямо не заявлено и не подразумевается. Автор упоминает Palantir как «слишком дорогой», но не рекомендует открывать короткую позицию или избегать его.

9.7% float retired in a single year; 13.4% total shareholder yield; 0.79x tangible book with negligible goodwill. Aggressive buybacks at a discount to tangible book signal management believes the stock is deeply undervalued. Harley‑Davidson offers a rare combination of cheap assets and shareholder‑friendly capital allocation. Aging core demographic, declining motorcycle demand, brand erosion.

Trading below book value; FCF never negative in 17 years; 10.2% total shareholder yield. A steady, never‑negative cash generator available below liquidation value offers a margin of safety. Molson Coors is a boring, resilient value stock with a strong yield. Changing consumer tastes (craft/import share), high leverage, commodity cost inflation.

Author notes MLP energy investments yield 6-10% with “real, tangible money” compared to AI buildout’s theoretical 7.3% ROI. As big tech cash flows fade, capital may rotate to income-generating, asset-backed energy MLPs (midstream infrastructure). Long AMLP as a safer yield alternative to AI-heavy tech, benefiting from stable cash flows and lower risk. Energy prices decline; regulatory changes on MLPs; big tech AI revenue surprises could reverse rotation.

43 big tech companies saw CapEx surge $170B while free cash flow shrank $10B; $820B in off-balance-sheet lease commitments create hidden liabilities. The market is pricing income growth but ignoring cash flow deterioration and lease risk; a re-rating could occur as AI ROI disappoints. Short large-cap tech (Nasdaq 100) as the AI capex cycle peaks and cash flow reality sets in. AI revenue materializes faster than expected; Fed policy supports risk assets; capex cuts could stabilize cash flows.

AXP has 83% correlation of True FCF to NGDP and a 7% True FCF yield, the highest among Dividend Aristocrats; Buffett holds it as his second-largest position. This correlation means AXP’s cash flows reliably grow with nominal GDP, making it a compounding machine in an expanding economy. Long AXP as a high‑quality growth‑at‑reasonable‑price play with proven economic sensitivity and strong free cash flow generation. Recession could temporarily lower transaction volumes; regulatory changes in credit card fees; inflation moderating below NGDP expectations.
