Interesting idea 👇

I’ve decided to allocate ~40% of my stock portfolio into a €6 million nano-cap!

The company is Talkpool AG $TALK.ST and I wrote a post about it on my substack a few months ago, so check out the original thesis if you're interested.

Here’s a short explanation on recent changes:

Currently, Talkpool is trading at just 4× EBIT. It has just finished its cost-cutting program, which was executed close to perfection, and is now fully focused on growth. Management plans to achieve a 17% CAGR through 2030, and thanks to their asset-light model they should be able to grow with minimal CapEx while generating significant free cash flow. The CEO, who owns over 20% of the company, has made it clear that excess FCF will be returned to shareholders. They’re expected to pay their first dividend next year.

So now the question any investor should ask when they spot a great opportunity is : Why does it exist?

In this case, many of the company’s conference calls and presentations are delivered in Swedish, putting them out of reach for many international investors. For example, management has talked about paying dividends next year and growing without significant CapEx, thanks to a new business segment—whereas previously they had to invest heavily to expand. This information isn't available in English.

Obviously, with a market cap of just €6 million, Talkpool is too small to attract most institutions, and until very recently its lack of profitability kept it off conventional screens.

I wrote in a more detail about Talkpool in my latest post on substack where I walk through my entire portfolio, the major changes I’ve made recently, and my reasoning behind each move. - SpruceHill Capital

RT @equitybaron: In Aug 2023 Roland from Value-Holdings International pitched $ACT AlzChem for @capitalemployed newsletter.

It was 20 euros per share at the time.

The share price is now 120 euros 😲

$PONY.AI signed an MoU with Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority to roll out robotaxis in the city. Supervised trials begin in 2025, with full driverless ops in 2026. It’s part of Dubai’s plan to make 25% of all trips autonomous by 2030. Mass production of its 7th-gen robotaxi starts later this year.
