Another round of company write-ups from Substack within the last week or so.
Not my work - sourced from Giles Capital's weekly compilation: [https://gilescapital.substack.com/](https://gilescapital.substack.com/)
**Americas**
[**CapexAndChill**]() on [**Brookfield Corporation**](https://capexandchill.substack.com/p/brookfields-nuclear-pivot) (🇨🇦 BN - US$70 billion)
Brookfield’s pivot to nuclear energy is a masterclass in time arbitrage. Anchored by an $80 billion US government partnership, the deal’s asymmetric structure provides a cheap insurance policy against political risk.
[**LongTermValue Research**](https://open.substack.com/pub/ltvresearch) on [**Veeva Systems**](https://ltvresearch.substack.com/p/veeva-systems-opportunistic-compounder) (🇺🇸 VEEV US - US$37 billion)
Healthcare software compounder down 25% on overblown Salesforce migration fears that affect only 20% of revenue. The real story is 50 compliance applications that pharma companies cannot easily replace, plus AI tools for clinical trials.
[**Valuations**]() on [**AST SpaceMobile**](https://valuations.substack.com/p/asts-suckers-at-the-table) \- SHORT (🇺🇸 ASTS US - US$31 billion)
At $31B valuation with only 2% of satellites deployed, the maths doesn’t work. Author sees 80-90% downside from unrealistic revenue assumptions and stiff competition from Starlink’s 650+ satellite head start.
[**Unemployed Value Degen**]() on [**Ziff Davis**](https://unemployedvaluedegen.substack.com/p/the-burning-question-ziff-davis-zd) (🇺🇸 ZD US - US$1.4 billion)
Ziff Davis is a classic case of management capitulating at the bottom. With intrinsic value pegged at 2-5x the current price, the market is ignoring the imminent catalyst of forced value realization.
[**Crack The Market**](https://open.substack.com/pub/crackthemarket) on [**Custom Truck One Source and Alta Equipment Group**](https://crackthemarket.substack.com/p/from-grid-and-reshoring-supercycle) (🇺🇸 CTOS, ALTG US - US$1.3 billion, $145 million)
Two equipment plays benefiting from infrastructure spending. CTOS offers grid exposure at 0.70x sales with CFO buying stock. ALTG trades at just 0.08x sales due to temporary tariff uncertainty, with founder-CEO owning 18%.
[**Multibagger Ideas**]() on [**Acorn Energy**](https://multibaggerideas.substack.com/p/acorn-energy-acfn-thesis-update) (🇺🇸 ACFN US - US$50 million)
In Acorn Energy, investors find a defensive business with 95% subscription margins and 17% CEO ownership. A recent partnership creates significant optionality for a potential multibagger return.
**Europe, Middle East & Africa**
[**Garp&Chill**]() on [**3i Group**](https://garpandchill.substack.com/p/3i-group-ready-action) (🇬🇧 III LN - £32 billion)
The thesis for 3i Group is remarkably clean: it’s a public wrapper for Action, Europe’s most exceptional discount retailer. With Action valued conservatively at 18.5x EBITDA, investors get a structural winner.
[**P14 Capital**]() on [**Klarna**](https://p14capital.substack.com/p/long-klar-klarna-the-bnpl-winner) (🇸🇪 KLAR US - US$20 billion)
Klarna is at a clear inflection point, with trailing GMV up 14.5% to $118B. Market skepticism on margins creates the opportunity before its transition to a global commerce network is priced in.
[**Compound with René**](https://open.substack.com/pub/renesellmann) on [**InPost**](https://www.compoundwithrene.com/p/inpost-more-than-lockers-the-rails) (🇳🇱 INPST NA - €8 billion)
Podcast exploring European parcel locker leader InPost as more than just lockers. Dominant Poland market share with UK and France operations approaching profitability as the company builds the infrastructure layer for e-commerce.
[**High Yield Landlord**](https://open.substack.com/pub/jussiaskola) on [**Helios Towers**](https://www.high-yield-landlord.com/p/helios-towers-the-best-reit-in-africa) (🇬🇧 HTWS LN - US$2.3 billion)
The best way to own African real estate through public markets. Cell towers across 9 countries with 70%+ of profits in dollars and euros from telecom giants like MTN and Vodafone. Over $5B in contracted future revenues versus $2.3B market cap.
[**HatedMoats**](https://open.substack.com/pub/hatedmoats) on [**Mo-Bruk**](https://hatedmoats.substack.com/p/mo-bruk-deep-dive-analysis) (🇵🇱 MBR WA - PLN 1.1 billion)
Mo-Bruk is a wide-moat market leader in waste management trading at an undemanding valuation. A guided 50% adjusted EBITDA margin for 2025 offers a compelling blend of value and quality.
[**DuckPond Value Research**]() on [**Foraco International**](https://www.duckpondvr.com/p/foraco-long-before-the-metal) (🇫🇷 FAR TO - C$250 million) **TOP PICK**
At 8x normalized earnings, Foraco represents one of the most compelling opportunities in mining services. Third-largest driller globally, positioned at cyclical trough as gold exploration budgets finally turn up. Family owns 30%+ with $240M in new contracts.
[**Saesch**]() on [**SpaceandPeople, Spectra Systems, SRT Marine, Staffline and Strix**](https://increasingodds.substack.com/p/aim-a-z-part-31) (🇬🇧 SAL, SPSC, SRT, STAF, KETL LN - £5-50 million)
Ongoing AIM A-Z series covering UK micro-caps across advertising, banknote security, maritime tracking, staffing, and appliance components. Notable: Strix selling Australian subsidiary for £110M after paying £38M.
**Asia-Pacific**
[**The Few Bets That Matter**]() on [**Alibaba**](https://www.wealthyreadings.com/p/alibaba-and-china-thesis-update) (🇨🇳 BABA US - US$200 billion)
Beneath the surface is a misunderstood growth story. Excluding divestitures, Alibaba grows around 15% annually, yet markets apply a discount. As a favored AI and cloud leader, the setup is compelling as perception shifts.
[**StockOpine**]() on [**Grab Holdings**](https://www.stockopine.com/p/southeast-asias-on-demand-economy) (🇸🇬 GRAB US - US$16 billion)
Southeast Asia’s dominant super-app controlling 54% of food delivery. The regional internet economy should nearly double to $555B by 2030. Vietnam struggles offset by 60%+ market share in Singapore, Malaysia, and Philippines.
[**Acid Investments**](https://open.substack.com/pub/acidinvestments) on [**Shriro Holdings**](https://acidinvestments.substack.com/p/new-special-sit-idea-from-down-under) (🇦🇺 SHM AU - A$56 million)
The setup in Shriro is brutally simple: an illiquid stock at 4x operating profits with a clean balance sheet. A new activist investor and a plan to buy back a third of shares create a compelling catalyst.
[**Deep-Value Stocks**](https://open.substack.com/pub/mrdeepvalue) on [**Care Service**](https://www.mrdeepvalue.com/p/care-service-analysis) (🇯🇵 2425 JP - ¥3 billion) **TOP PICK**
What seems clear is that Care Service at 1.1x book value and 3x free cash flow represents genuine deep value. Revenue growing and dividends compounding at 23% annually, yet priced for decline. Japan’s aging population provides structural tailwind.
