One-to-one consultations and institutional-grade research for serious investors — reading corporate value destruction, building activist-style theses, and thinking across markets and geopolitics.
Long-form, institutional-grade research. Every thesis is a proof of work — a position taken, argued, and documented.
Short-form views on markets, macro, and geopolitics as they happen. Not formal theses — just where my head is. Updated whenever something is worth saying.
Transitioning from legacy IoT hardware to edge AI and unmanned systems. Base case $9.20 (+22%), bull case $13.05 (+73%), stretch upside $18.10 (+140%).
Featured · Activist · AI60% of revenue from AI solutions, 13.8% YoY growth. Market still pricing it as a legacy outsourcer. Fair value $37–$44 — at least 22–44% upside.
AI / Vertical SaaSEvolving from legacy restaurant tech to a vertical AI-enabled platform. Base-case $22.50 — 51% upside.
Activist96% permanent capital, scalable fee platform. Re-rate case suggests 25–39% appreciation.
Activist / IndustrialsStrong free cash flow with an accelerating buyback. The market is underpricing the FCF re-rating potential as project backlog converts to earnings.
Global Macro~55% discount to NAV on Tencent-heavy asset base. Ongoing buybacks below NAV mechanically narrow the discount.
CommoditiesNear-term FDN silver cash flow and long-term copper-gold optionality. Hold — disciplined entry below C$20.
AI / Technology~17.6x FY2026 FCF vs Starboard's 31.0x peer median. Multiple paths to upside through FCF/share growth and rerating.
Deep ValueDeep value play at 6.6x annualized Q1 adjusted EBITDA after a weak quarter reset market expectations.
Media / ActivistLive news, sports rights, and affiliate fees are structurally more durable than the market implies. The valuation doesn't reflect platform resilience through streaming disruption.
AI / HoldCoSignificant discount to official NAV excluding Arm's rerating. Base case ADRs toward $19.5, bull $22.1.
Deep Value$830.7M cash vs $358M liabilities. Governance discount and structural complexity masking significant deployable capital.
Deep Value / SOTPDigital asset portfolio continues to trade well below SOTP value. Capital return catalyst or portfolio simplification could narrow the persistent discount.
Activist / HealthcareConservative SOTP ~$166.6/share, portfolio simplification upside to $186. Market treating a breakup candidate as a single complex entity.
Healthcare / SOTPConservative SOTP ~$6.05/share vs market price. Near-term catalysts in HCT Precise MRD and AI-enabled Prolaris launch.
Activist / UKA structured activist framework for capturing persistent NAV discounts — when cheap is not enough and how to push for change.
AI / MacroThe AI buildout is primarily an energy infrastructure story. A power-first investment thesis across three geographies.
EnergyFull activist-style thesis on SM Energy — capital allocation, operational efficiency, and the path to shareholder value realisation.
Infrastructure / ActivistResponsible asset recycling and a persistent NAV discount make Greencoat a compelling activist-oriented infrastructure play.
Deep ValueThe market implies the operating business is worth less than zero. A forensic case for value realisation.
Activist / UKAn activist governance assessment of Hansa Investment Company and what it would take to narrow the persistent discount.
ActivistBuy the platform, sell the stores. A structured playbook for unlocking value through separation and operational simplification.
GeoeconomicsStrong growth prospects must be backed by credible domestic production capacity to sustain investor confidence.
Trade / GeopoliticsPM Modi's push to transform India into a global manufacturing powerhouse. The domestic supply chain is the bottleneck.
Strategic TechnologyAI is no longer a technology question — it is a sovereignty and national security question.
GeoeconomicsINR depreciation signals structural vulnerabilities requiring a coordinated fiscal and monetary response.
Geopolitics / EnergyIndia's Arctic energy policy as part of a larger national project — securing energy resilience, maritime access, and geopolitical positioning.
Trade / GeopoliticsThe India-UK trade deal is an important milestone. The deeper strategic partnership — in technology, defence, and capital — is the real prize.
Energy SecurityReframing India's energy debate from a technical supply question to a strategic sovereignty question.
GeopoliticsA framework for deepening the India-Africa relationship across critical minerals, energy, and defence.
Geopolitics / DefenceBeyond weapons deals — the technology transfers and economic architecture underpinning the India-Israel strategic relationship.
Every consultation is built around method, not tips. You leave able to do the analysis yourself.
Dissect a 10-K, spot revenue-recognition games, and trace where reported earnings diverge from cash. The forensic layer most investors skip.
Turn a hunch into a structured, defensible position — entry logic, catalysts, risk, and the disconfirming evidence you must watch for.
Connect macro, geopolitics, and governance — why a tariff line, a board vote, and a currency move are usually the same story.
Translate conviction into allocation — sizing, hedging, and when being right slowly is indistinguishable from being wrong.
"Most markets are efficient. Most management teams are not. The gap between those two facts is where I do my work."
I started on the sell-side, building the models that justified deals I increasingly didn't believe in. The turning point was a fairness opinion I helped write for a board that was, plainly, protecting itself at shareholders' expense — and the realisation that nobody in the room was paid to say so. I left to do exactly that, independently.
Since then I've published activist-style theses, written two books, and advised investors one-to-one. I don't sell signals or hot tips — I teach method. Every thesis I put out is a position taken in public, argued in full, and left on the record to age well or badly. That's the only credibility worth having in this work.
Today my focus runs across three threads that I don't think can be separated: company-level activism and governance, global macro, and the geopolitics that increasingly drives both. The AI ETF I'm assembling sits at their intersection — and most of how I think about it gets written up here first.
