Andrew Walker — Host, Yet Another Value Blog

Summary

Judd Arnold of Lake Cornelia Capital joins Andrew Walker for a wide-ranging conversation on inflection investing, liquidity, risk sizing, and event-driven trades. The main idea is TOI, a small-cap oncology-services model with a capitated, MSO-led approach and sub-1x revenue valuation. They also discuss Nebius, Sable Offshore, Warner Bros. Discovery/Netflix deal dynamics, and power/nuclear AI-demand themes, with emphasis on liquidity and bounded downside.

Judd explains his shift from deep valuation to inflection/liquidity-focused investing.
TOI detailed long thesis: oncology drug dispensing, capitated contracts, Florida expansion, margin ramp.
Nebius cited as a liquid AI data-center inflection with strong Nvidia ties.
Sable Offshore framed as an option-like permitting recovery after re-entry.
Warner Bros. Discovery discussed as an event-driven/risk-arb long amid bidding war.
Netflix seen as a merger-overhang watch item.
Power/nuclear names mentioned as AI-demand re-rating beneficiaries, though Judd missed the move.
Risk management: position sizing depends on liquidity and downside optionality.

Ideas

Best data center/Nvidia story, liquid

Nebius is an inflection and liquidity play: it has cash/startup sum-of-parts support, high-quality data center assets, an elite Nvidia relationship, and enough liquidity that investors will care. Judd sees a large right-tail optionality with multi-year duration.

Favor healthcare services growers with execution

Judd likes healthcare services because when a company is right, investors will care. He favors 20% growers with fixed capital structures, large multi-year TAMs, and high-quality execution, while acknowledging investors need to get granular by name.

Nuclear megawatts benefit from AI demand

Talen Energy is an inflection play: it owns a large nuclear plant in PJM, and rising AI/data-center power demand can make its megawatts highly valuable even if trailing financials do not show it. The host frames it as the kind of story where the financials mean little and the asset's right-tail optionality drives the stock.

Oncology model scalable and undervalued

TOI is a scalable oncology-services model that uses capitated contracts and an MSO structure to undercut fee-for-service/hospital drug pricing. It has no typical MLR risk because drug costs dominate, the new CEO has turned around the business, Florida expansion can lift margins as fee-for-service transitions to capitated contracts, and it trades under 1x revenue with line of sight to $15-30/share and a likely PE/drug-distributor exit.

Permitting optionality, re-entered for upside

Sable Offshore is an option-like asymmetric bet on California permitting/coastal-commission resolution. If it can produce, the equity/warrants have massive right-tail upside; duration and option value bounded downside when he re-entered, and liquidity lets him exit if the thesis breaks.

Event-driven long below cash bid

Judd owns a big Warner Bros. position as an event-driven/risk-arb trade: the stock has traded below a cash bid during a hostile/topping-bid battle, near-term antitrust action is unlikely, and three-way merger dynamics can create mispriced spreads. The risk is merger purgatory/regulatory delay.

Merger overhang; needs clean resolution

Netflix is a watch item because its free cash flow has inflected but the Warner Bros. bid creates merger overhang/purgatory. A long needs Paramount to top at $34 or a clean completion on existing terms; a debt-funded deal after weak earnings is the worst case.
