    Pershing Square Challenge 2026 winners on DoorDash $DASH

    The winners of the Pershing Square Challenge 2026 discuss their Doordash pitch, including why the growth story still has room to run (and the 90 primary research calls they made to back up that call). We get into durable US restaurant growth, why new verticals and international could inflect to profitability earlier than the street models, the underappreciated opex leverage, their proprietary Wolt case study, the Tony Xu bet, and why they think the Citrini AI-agent thesis on DoorDash is overblown.

    Why $PSUS deserves a premium to NAV and $PS deserves a premium multiple | Marlton's James Elbaor

    James Elbaor of Marlton makes the case that $PSUS will trade at a premium to NAV instead of the typical closed-end fund discount and that $PS will ultimately trade at a premium multiple to peers like Blackstone, KKR, Apollo and Carlyle given its lean team and advantaged fee structure. We push on every part of that, including whether Ackman's portfolio is just an expensive S&P hug, why London still doesn't fully credit him, and whether Spark gives Pershing a real path into Universal Music Group.

    $DRVN Cruising through the Driven Brands thesis | Kyle Mowery GrizzlyRock Capital

    Driven Brands ($DRVN) puked on a February accounting restatement. Kyle Mowery (GrizzlyRock Capital) walks through why Take 5 remains a crown jewel and could be worth the entire EV of the company (making the franchise and autoglass businesses a free option). We also dig into how the April and May 8-Ks took the scary left-tail risks off the table, why Roark Capital (65% owner) might run a sale process later this year, and the bear case (corporate cost bloat, weakness in the non-Take-5 brands). disclaimer: Andrew is long DRVN Kyle's late 2024 DRVN podcast: https://www.yetanothervalueblog.com/p/grizzlyrock-capitals-kyle-mowery?utm_source=publication-search [00:00:00] Intro and disclosures [00:03:23] What is Driven Brands today [00:05:14] Why the car wash divestiture sold so cheap [00:09:19] Why Take 5 is the crown jewel [00:11:15] EV risk and the US ICE car park [00:13:21] Franchisee demand and unit growth [00:15:31] Take 5 vs. Valvoline[00:18:13] The addbacks problem [00:20:57] Inside the accounting restatement [00:23:22] The cash adjustment [00:28:50] The ATI revenue recognition issue [00:30:12] Reading the April and May 8-Ks [00:32:40] Debating adjusted EBITDA [00:34:55] Corporate cost bloat [00:37:54] Is this fraud?

    $STVN: are oral GLP-1s really a death blow? | Aurelian Research's Leo Trudel

    Stevanato (STVN) makes the glass vials and pre-filled syringes that GLP-1 drugs ship in. The stock has sold off on fears that oral GLP-1s replace injectables, but Aurelian Research's Leo Trudel argues that's a misread: biologics demand keeps growing, the mix is shifting toward higher-margin "high-value solutions," and switching costs in regulated drug delivery are real. We dig into the bull case, the oral-vs-injectable debate, capacity and oversupply risk, capital allocation, regulatory lock-in, and what would change Leo's view.
