βœ… $NWG (NatWest) - the company has significantly improved its costs and margin profile recently with double-digit ROE. It has a large cash return programme and has been reducing its share count. The government plans to sell its 31.85% stake later this year, which may be a good entry point.

βœ… $VVV (Valvoline) - car maintenance service with 7-year sales and EBITDA CAGR of 18% and 32%, respectively! Double-digit net earnings margins, not particularly cheap at 13.6x EV/EBIT and 3.5% FCF yield, but with returns and growth profile is quite interesting.

Not a shareholder of $AAPL any more, but still a customer.

Even if each new model is less innovative, the excitement is still there πŸ˜‰

RT @HiddenValueGems: Just finished flipping through the UBS 2024 Global Investment Returns Book - a pretty good read.

Here are the seven points I found the most interesting:

1⃣ The global history of stock market performance highlights two biases: survivorship and success. Investors in some countries lost everything, and β€œif these countries are omitted, there is a danger of overstating worldwide equity returns.”

Does Oracle's FY25/FY26 major ramp imply anything about AI spend longevity or is it just idio for them being the "new" cloud on the block taking some vanilla infra share from the big boys...or maybe a bit of both

ORCL takeaway from call:
- Signed large deals driving material RPO increase
- Increased FY26 target (not explicitly)
- Near-term Q4 numbers not exciting which implies FY25/FY26 major ramp

very bullish call. straight path to $140+ if they just follow the path laid out

$META $NVDA engineering.fb.com/2024/03/1…

Marking a major investment in Meta’s AI future, we are announcing two 24k GPU clusters. We are sharing details on the hardware, network, storage, design, performance, and software that help us extract high throughput and reliability for various AI workloads. We use this cluster design for Llama 3 training.

We are strongly committed to open compute and open source. We built these clusters on top of Grand Teton, OpenRack, and PyTorch and continue to push open innovation across the industry.

This announcement is one step in our ambitious infrastructure roadmap. By the end of 2024, we’re aiming to continue to grow our infrastructure build-out that will include 350,000 NVIDIA H100 GPUs as part of a portfolio that will feature compute power equivalent to nearly 600,000 H100s.

$VAR.NO

Quick thoughts on the latest update and 2030 goals.

➑️ Generally ok, with a few issues like higher opex per barrel ($10/boe vs $8/boe before, blaming inflation).

➑️ Capex still high at $2-2.5B in 2025-26 and $1.5-2B in 2027-28.

➑️ 5yr annual FCF at just $0.9-1.6B ($70-90/boe oil), although should be higher from 2026.

➑️ Div payout confirmed at 30% in 2024 and 20-30% mid-term.

Still a double-digit yield, but risks remain.

Major risks are delay in Balder X launch until Q2 2025 and Capex over runs.

Conf call today at 2pm CET.

Disclosure - long, don’t plan to add post such update.

$VAR.NO is holding its Capital Markets Update tomorrow following Neptune consolidation and with more progress in key growth projects.

The crucial point for me is getting more clarity on future (2025-30) capex vs production outlook. Also tax payments seem too high, hopefully they provide more details on that.
