The author presents bullish penny-stock theses on Cricut (CRCT) and VAALCO Energy (EGY), citing hidden cash flow, cash pile, and 2026 production catalysts.
CRCT — LONG The author argues Cricut is mispriced as an ex-growth hardware company, while its high-margin platform business is growing: paid subscribers rose 6% to 3.0 million and platform revenue grew 7% at ~90% margins. He highlights $207M cash and zero debt, framing the company as a cash cow priced like a bankruptcy risk. The stated risks are margin erosion from Southeast Asia tariffs and declining engagement in accessories/materials.
While hardware sales dipped slightly, paid subscribers grew 6% to 3.0 million and platform revenue (which carries \~90% margins) grew 7%.
EGY — LONG The author argues VAALCO is past its heavy capex phase and has major 2026 catalysts: Gabon Phase 3 drilling hit high-quality sands and the Baobab FPSO is expected to restart in Q2 2026. He also notes Egypt receivables fell from $113M to $31M, removing a key fear overhang, and frames EGY as a 2x EBITDA oil play. Stated risks are simultaneous operational delays in Gabon and Ivory Coast, or renewed Egyptian payment delays.
Most importantly, they’ve cleared their Egypt receivables (down from $113M to $31M), which was the massive "fear" anchor on this stock.
