JULY 6TH, 2026

THE LONG BOOK IN ONE LINE: The model is positioned for a "Great Rotation" into value and cash flow — the book averages a +105.2 Oddsmaker Score and +216.5 Super Multiple, with 22 of 25 names spanning cheap semis, de-rated quality software, international deep value, digital platforms, value cyclicals, and fintech re-ratings.

1. MU — Micron Technology (IT / Cheap Semis — Near Pass, OM2 88.6)

The leading US maker of DRAM and NAND, a core beneficiary of AI-server HBM demand. Score +105.5, SMP +237, 99th-percentile FRM/RAVG/TRS, 57.3% ROIC, 98.3% Trifecta Ratio, 5.2x fwd EV/EBITDA. Bull case: HBM/DRAM pricing in a structural up-cycle with revisions still climbing; 57% ROIC shows the cycle is translating to real returns. Bear case: memory is famously cyclical — a demand air-pocket compresses estimates and multiple fast (weak OLI of 36). Verdict: highest-conviction long — the cleanest "cheap + accelerating" name in the book.

1. GRND — Grindr (Communication Services / Digital Platforms — Composite, OM2 88.1)

The largest LGBTQ social/dating platform with a high-margin subscription model. Most balanced fingerprint in the book — every factor 80–90 (EQS 88, CAS 90, RAVG 90), 99.3% Trifecta Ratio, 18.8% ROIC. Bull case: uniform 80s+ factors, no weak leg to break; pricing power. Bear case: leverage plus single-app concentration; monetization missteps hit a small float hard. Verdict: quietly the most well-rounded name here — strong buy on breadth, not one hot factor.

1. KYIV — Kyivstar Group (Communication Services / ADR Deep Value — Near Pass, OM2 87.5)

Ukraine's largest mobile/telecom operator, recently US-listed. Score +110, SMP +235, FRM 96, RAVG 93, TRS 89, 5.1x fwd EV/EBITDA for a dominant national carrier. Bull case: 96 FRM on reconstruction/ARPU tailwinds; any de-escalation re-rates a deeply discounted asset. Bear case: existential geopolitical exposure — the discount is the war. Verdict: high-reward asymmetric ADR; size it as the risk-on bet it is.

1. BWMX — Betterware de México (Consumer Discretionary / ADR Deep Value — Strict Pass, OM2 87.0)

A home-goods and beauty direct-sales/catalog business in Mexico. Score +134, SMP +293, RAVG 91, CAS 87, OLI 80 — one of four strict passes clearing every backtested hard gate. 98.1% Trifecta Ratio on a sub-$1B cap. Bull case: highest-confidence tier; 91 revisions + 87 capital allocation. Bear case: FX and Mexican consumer cyclicality; the extreme Net Cash/MC flags data-scaling noise — verify the balance sheet. Verdict: strict-pass conviction, but do the ADR/FX diligence before sizing.

Bull case: 94 capital allocation and 29% ROIC — best-in-class economics. Bear case: dealer-marketing budgets are cyclical; a used-car downturn pressures the core. Verdict: high-quality platform buy; the model is paying for return on capital, not momentum.

1. MNTN — MNTN, Inc. (Communication Services / Digital Platforms — Composite, OM2 82.0)

A performance CTV advertising software platform. OM2 82.0 driven by a 98 FRM plus 26% Net Cash/MC. CTV ad-dollar migration is a secular tailwind. Bull case: 98 forward revenue/margin — one of the fastest accelerators here; net cash funds growth. Bear case: lowest Trifecta Ratio in the top tier (63.2%) and a young, unproven public model. Verdict: growth call — buy the acceleration, but least "quality-proven" of the platforms.

1. PARR — Par Pacific Holdings (Energy / Value Cyclicals — Composite, OM2 81.1)

Hawaii/Rockies refining, retail, and logistics with a growing renewables angle. CAS 94, RAVG 95, FRM 90, 4.0x fwd EV/EBITDA — cheap. Bull case: 95 revisions + 94 capital allocation as crack spreads hold; niche island-market pricing power. Bear case: refining margins are volatile and OLI is weak (39).
