New habit: listening to earnings calls at the gym. Thanks Borsa Finance. Excited for following earnings over the next week or two and their respective macro+internal ops reasons. Below is a top-level one-liner on each but can dive deeper into each company and their long-term competitive advantages.

  1. TransDigm Group Inc. (strong cap investment conscious mgmt team, pricing power, supplier network)
  2. Brookfield Asset Management (strong cap investment conscious mgmt team, but complex corporate structure)
  3. PagSeguro PagBank (fintech in South America; fintech adoption is easier for relatively weaker financial system)
  4. Stone (fintech in South America)
  5. Home Depot (proxy for construction spending and more importantly, Americans holding their housing assets longer = lower turnover rate = more demand for housing improvement long-term given the depreciative nature of asset)
  6. Wix.com (indirect proxy for Shopify; one of the few I believe can direct take on Amazon.com over the next 10+ years if you study their few years of strategies…software company acquiring warehouse+build supply chain for their SMBs…to protect their brand dilution/erosion from Amazon private labels…same macro strategy since early 1900’s if you look at Sears in 1930s)
  7. Ross Stores, Inc. (proxy for growth wealth disparity in our country in both ends)
  8. Nordstrom (same as #7)
