Acadia Healthcare Co. Inc (ACHC)Purchased Nov. 11, 2016 at $46.42 and Nov. 29, 2016 at $37.70

Description: Acadia Healthcare operates a network of multinational behavioral health centers. The company provides psychiatric and chemical dependency services, inpatient psychiatric hospital, residential treatment centers, outpatient clinics, and therapeutic school-based programs. It operates 585 behavioral healthcare facilities with 17,900 beds in 39 States, the United Kingdom, and Puerto Rico.

Investment Thesis

The behavioral healthcare market is highly fragmented, which creates acquisition opportunities. During 2017, Acadia added a facility with 750 new beds. Acadia has also grown organically. For example, it has averaged same-facility revenue growth of 6.3% over the past ten quarters. This increased growth allows for economies of scale and integrated marketing.

Roughly 18% of American adults have a diagnosable mental illness with 4% of American adults having a serious mental illness. The mental abuse treatment market is projected to increase to $42.1B in 2020, up from $24.3B in 2009. Also, the inpatient treatment market is estimated to grow to $36B by 2023.

The market opportunities available to Acadia show significant potential, but we have doubts about Acadia’s ability to capture this market. Their growth metrics have slowed substantially over the past few years. We currently believe that Acadia can return to their prior growth.

Investment ThesisBojangles’ has seen substantial organic growth in recent years. It has the capacity for 1,400 stores in their existing footprint, with the capability to grow to 3,500 nationally. It is a market leader with Average Unit Volume (AUV) of over 1.8M, compared to the market average of 1.7M. Additionally, Bojangles’ has seen 4.55% growth in same stores sales since 2012.

Its strong return on minimal cash investment leads to less than 1 year payback, on average, for company operated restaurants. Bojangles’ operates with a build-to-suit strategy which allows less upfront cash investment in PPE. This minimum cash investment allows Bojangles’ to speed up organic growth. Bojangles’ is constantly adding new products to diversify their customer offerings. We see high growth potential in new and same store sales.

In 2019, Bojangles' Inc. stockholders voted to adopt a merger agreement and since the end of the year, have been purchased by Durational Capital Management LP and The Jordan Company L.P. for $593.7 million. Under the terms of the agreement, the companies paid Bojangles’, Inc. shareholders $16.10 per share, in cash, which represents a 39 percent premium to the closing share price of February 12—a day prior to initial speculation regarding a potential transaction.

Description: Bojangles’ Famous Chicken & Biscuits is a fast casual restaurant chain that operates under the franchisee business model. Originally founded in 1977, Bojangles’ currently has 700 restaurants with the opportunity to double in size with growth from additional franchisees. Headquartered in North Carolina, Bojangles’ has restaurants in 12 states.

Booking Holdings Inc. (BKNG)Purchased April 26, 2018 at $2108.96

Description: Booking Holdings Inc. operates as an online travel company. The Company offers a platform that allows customers to make travel reservations with providers of travel services. Booking began as Priceline.com, but has since added companies such as booking.com, Agoda, KAYAK, RentalCars, and OpenTable to their portfolio, providing an all-around online travel booking destination for customers.

Investment Thesis

The online travel booking industry is only 45% penetrated as of 2018. With a variety of online accommodations companies under their umbrella, Booking is poised to be the one-stop shop for customers and all of their travel needs.

Booking has invested $2B in Ctrip, a Chinese travel company. With an expected increase from 100M middle class Chinese households today, to 300M middle-class households by 2030, Booking Holdings will be prepared to capture and capitalize on this growth in upward mobility.

Booking has experienced consolidated gross bookings of 12% year-over-year in U.S. dollars and has recently begun ramping up their brand advertising mainly on digital channels. As of Sept. 30th , Booking.com has received a 21% increase in reported listings year-over-year with 5.7 million reported.

We believe Booking Holdings is undervalued and will continue to see increased revenue growth, better operating margins, and beneficial acquisitions in the Chinese markets.

Specialize in pharmacy benefits management, distribution of pharmaceuticals via mail order, retail, and specialty pharmacies, retail clinics and disease management programs.

Investment ThesisA majority of sectors in the healthcare industry are fragmented. CVS believes that by vertically integrating and controlling the process from the first to the last step, they can minimize patient costs and streamline the process. Over the past years, CVS has slowly positioned themselves into being a “one-stop-shop” for all needs healthcare. With the acquisition of Aetna $AET, they are hoping to transform CVS-Aetna into an industry titan with an insurmountable competitive advantage.

At its core, CVS is a fundamentally healthy company. Over the past 10 years they have consistently opened and acquired new retail stores, averaging over 162 annually. In addition, CVS has demonstrated consistent growth in EPS, revenue, net income, as well as their customer loyalty program. We believe CVS is slated to maintain their organic growth for the foreseeable future. Assuming the integration of CVS-Aetna is a smooth process with little obtrusion, results should be seen starting in two years (source: investor presentation). In it’s current position, CVS boasts a great value opportunity with a large margin of safety.

Investment ThesisEQM acquired RMP in July 2018 with the intention of the geographic fit between the two companies providing an opportunity to integrate and optimize systems. The acquisition of RMP also resulted in EQM picking up a water business, though EQM is reporting a much lower margin than RMP used to report on a per gallon basis for the same business.

The long term benefits of the acquisition remain to be seen. The new water business is expected to generate $100 million of EBITDA in 2019. The benefits of the synergies between the two companies are just beginning to be realized, but we do expect a decrease in operational expenses as processes become streamlined.

EQM stock price has been negatively impacted by delays and increasing costs of their Mountain Valley Pipeline (MVP) project, which has now cost the company $4.6 billion, and has been pushed back until 4Q of 2019. A pending lawsuit by the Virginia Attorney General on the pipeline alleging that the company violated environmental regulations over 300 times adds to the growing concern about the project. In its current position, EQM is a sell due to the uncertainty of the MVP project, which is a multi –billion dollar property that defines the future of the company.

Description: EQM Midstream Partners is a fee-based, growth-oriented limited partnership formed by Rice Energy Inc. to own, operate, develop, and acquire midstream assets in the Appalachian Basin. Their initial assets consist of gathering, compression and dehydration assets that service high quality producers in the rapidly developing dry gas core of the Marcellus Shale.

Investment ThesisSince its IPO in 2012, Facebook’s revenue has increased 1100%, and free cash flow has increased from .4B to $19B. As a percent of revenue, U.S. and Canada have remained roughly steady at 50%. Instagram revenues have made up 18% of mobile ad revenue in 2018. We expect this to expand and to push 24-26% in 2020.

Facebook has spent a significant amount of money expanding into other areas of social media. In April of 2012, before the company even reached their IPO, they bought Instagram for $1B. In 2014 it bought WhatsApp for $19B to improve their messaging service. It bought Oculus the same year, hoping to get ahead of expansion in the virtual reality market.

The market has been skeptical of future growth opportunities for Facebook. Given that the company earns nearly all revenue from advertising, the announcement that ad revenue was likely to level off was not met with optimism. But we believe that Facebook’s revenue deceleration is manageable as core Facebook’s user base is strong and Instagram revenue is growing fast ($8 to $14 YoY). During 3Q18 results, FB guided its GAAP expenses to grow 40%-50% in 2019—down from 50%-55% growth in 2018—but still quite heavy. Facebook’s expenses will grow but will be better aligned with revenue.

Description: Facebook Inc. is a technology company with a strong focus on social media and communication. Facebook Inc. owns Facebook, Instagram, Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, and Oculus. The company receives nearly all their revenue through selling advertising placements to third parties. This is similar to other companies in this field (Alphabet Inc., Yahoo! Inc, etc.). Facebook is one of several companies that make up the large social media and search conglomerates, and as such, remain in competition with these companies.

Investment Thesis

Farmer Brothers is a national coffee roaster, wholesaler and distributor of coffee, tea, and culinary products. Itsprimary brands include Farmer Bros. Superior, Metropolitan, Cain's, McGarvey and China Mist. The company continuesto launch new products within the coffee and tea markets, while further penetrating the growing cold brew coffee market.

The company is working towards 100% production of Boyds Brands, which increased revenues FY2018 by 14%. Farmer Brothers expect to increase inventories in order to compensate for the slowdown that will take place when this production switch occurs.

The company is looking for new opportunities in the specialty coffee market to appeal to the younger generation, a market that is up 12.5% in the past year.

The first half of 2019 is expected to remain sluggish with the loss of a major customer and continued softness of two others major customers. The second half of the year being better than the first as it completes integration of Boyd’s Brands. We hope to see Boyd’s contribution to the increase in revenues be transferred to the bottom line as integration continues to move into the later stages.

Description: Farmer Brothers Company originated on the west coast and operates as a coffee foodservice company. The company roasts, packages and distributes coffee, tea and roughly 300 other foodservice products to restaurants, hotels, hospitals, convenience stores, and fast food outlets.

Investment ThesisThe goods transportation market is consistently growing as eCommerce and door delivery ramp up year over year. During the next 12 months, will invest $5.9 billion into modernizing and acquiring a new generation of aircraft for superior national and international delivery compared to rivals (DHL, UPS). FedEx has also grown organically, they saw 7% revenue growth in 2017 due to increased package volume.

FedEX has aligned with Walmart and anticipates adding 500 FEDEX Office locations by May 2020.

The TNT Express acquisition is still streamlining into the business, but will work with FedEx over the coming years to grow in international markets.

FedEx has a diversified payer base with 4 primary services. Also, Fedex has low marginal cost and will take great advantage of increasing volume year over year.

2018 had a disappointing financial result due to the NotPetyacyberattack and an increased fuel expense of 21%. However, FedEX expects revenues to increase due to higher international volumes and U.S. domestic yields. FedEX has also focused on enhancing their safety protocols to limit chances of another cyberattack in the future.

With increasing facility growth, international expansion, operating margin growth, and acquisitions, we believe that FedEx was undervalued at year end, relative to our estimate of value.

Investment Thesis: While Five Below uses a business model similar to Dollar General, etc., it is uniquely focused on the teen and tween demographic. This allows them to more effectively market, as well as giving them a smaller set of trends to follow. That said, the trends that they follow are more quick to change, which gives them a strong edge if they’re able to keep up. While the business models are similar, the target demographic and marketing strategies are different enough that there is little crossover.

Five Below has been expanding quickly, but at a far slower rate than comparable low-cost retailers in order to ensure that forecasting and logistics are able to keep up. They have moved steadily westward, but still have the West Coast open before them.

Five Below grew with very little debt, and currently has no outstanding debt. More importantly, they continue to hit their own projections for sales, even in an extremely seasonal and economically sensitive market. Their internal accuracy speaks to both their ability to read trends and to manage their supply chain, even with 4,000+ SKUs.

Description: Five Below is a rapidly growing specialty value retailer offering a broad range of trend-right, high-quality merchandise targeted at the teen and pre-teen customer. It offers an assortment of products, all priced at $5 and below, including select brands and licensed merchandise. It seeks to transform the shopping experience of its target demographic with a unique merchandising strategy and high-energy retail concept that appeals to teens and pre-teens.

Investment ThesisGrand Canyon Education managed to disentangle itself from its peers in the for-profit education sector. In the same period that Grand Canyon Education’s competitors’ enrollment was cut in half, GCU saw its enrollment double.

The company’s stock performance has been bolstered by the election of Donald Trump, which marked the beginning of a deregulation sentiment factoring into the market, allowing the company to improve its already advantageous position in the industry.

On January 22, 2019, Grand Canyon Education, Inc. announced that it had completed the acquisition of Orbis Education Services, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Orbis Education”). Orbis Education is an education services company that supports healthcare education programs for 17 universities across the United States. As a result of the Merger, Orbis Education became a wholly owned subsidiary of Grand Canyon Education, Inc.

Investment Thesis

Through non-U.S. acquisitions, Hanesbrands has expanded their sales growth into international sales. Since the last two quarters Hanesbrands has grown 23% in their international sales by business segment. They have recently acquired the company Alternate Apparel and are looking to expand their athletic line.

In addition to growth through acquisitions, Hanesbrands has effectively created brand loyalty by producing high quality products at a price point that is difficult to be beat by competitors. Their main consumer is Walmart.

The 2017 EPS decreased significantly due to a second quarter earnings miss and Target announcing they will not be renewing an activewear contract when it expires. Hanesbrands still believes to see sales continue to grow despite the lost contract.

We believe that Hanesbrands is undervalued and will continue to see increasing international growth as well as sustained domestic sales through their new acquisition.

Investment ThesisWith the largest portion of revenue coming from the Match Group and ANGI Homeservices business segments, IAC’s focus has been on growing those two segments as well as Video, which has been receiving the largest portion of firm investment.

The company owns controlling interests in MTCH and ANGI. Despite the growth and expectation of future profitability in the Video segment, the market is currently assigning a negative value of over $2 billion to the Video, Applications, and Publishing segment based on the market cap of IAC and the market value of IAC’s shares in MTCH and ANGI.

Starting this quarter, within the Applications segment IAC now provides the revenue split between Mobile & Desktop. Mobile revenue grew 77% Y/Y organically in 3Q, is profitable, & has 2.5M+ subscribers. Next quarter, Dotdash & Vimeo each become stand-alone segments with revenue & profit disclosure.

While the Match Group and Angie’s Homeservices businesses are industry leaders with strong growth opportunity, buying IAC allows us to take advantage of the growth and success of these segments while also gaining exposure to Video business. Meanwhile, this also takes advantage of the overly negative view the market is placing on the three smaller business segments.

Investment ThesisAs data center throughput and mobile content provision continue to grow, demand for memory in devices increases in both memory-per-device and devices-per-customer. As one of the top three producers of both NAND and DRAM, Lam is positioned to profit from ~25% CAGR for DRAM across both segments and ~40% CAGR for NAND in mobile devices. The CAGR for data centers is even higher for NAND.

Recently, the price decrease was due to NAND and DRAM demand cuts across the industry. Demand for semiconductor-production equipment isn't likely to recover soon with weaker-than expected demand for smartphones and PCs, which is causing DRAM and NAND Flash prices to drop. However, as this industry is cyclical and LRCX has continued to have increasing market share in NAND and DRAM, so we maintain our price target. It also has more than 40,000 pieces of equipment installed around the world, and has seen consistent growth since 2011 in Customer Support Business, further cementing market share.

Lam Research Corporation (LRCX)Purchased Nov. 22, 2016 at $107.10 & Nov. 29, 2016 at $107.05

Investment ThesisMolson Coors’ United States segment is MillerCoors. Miller Coors is the second largest brewer in the U.S., with 26% of total brewing industry shipments. During 2015, it acquired 58% economic interest and 50% voting interest in MillerCoors. Molson Coors Brewing Company saw a sales jump of 37% in 2016 largely due to this acquisition. We expect this move to continue to provide both revenue and cost synergies while driving growth and increasing the value of the company. Lastly, the company is improving sales of its high quality and high margin beers in the U.S.. Annually, MCBC produces over 1.2 billion US gallons of beer.

The international brewery market has generally been fragmented with lots of exports, licenses, and partnerships. However, as the brewery market becomes more consolidated with global players, Molson Coors can leverage the scale, depth of product portfolio, and knowledge of the industry to continue to lead the market.

The beer market in the United States declined after 2009 due to unemployment, low consumer confidence, and poor economic conditions. However, we expect the current market to continue to be strong along with the economy.

Molson Coors Brewing Co. (TAP)Purchased Nov. 22, 2016 at $98.66 and Nov. 29, 2016 at $100.41

Description: Molson Coors Brewing Company is one of the world’s largest brewers and have a diverse portfolio of owned and partner brands, including: Carling, Coors Light, Miller Lite, and Molson Canadian, as well as craft and specialty beers such as Blue Moon, Creemore Springs, and Doom Bar. They are committed to producing the highest quality beer and their largest markets are the United States, Canada, and Europe. They have 21 breweries and 3 distribution centers in the U.S., Canada, and MCI.

Investment ThesisThe Absorbent Products segment has been problematic for Presto for a considerable amount of time. The business is capital intensive, with significant time needed to both install the complex equipment and train employees to use it efficiently. Further, the industry is characterized by high volume and low margin, and product costs are noticeably affected by commodity prices. On January 3, 2017, Presto announced it had sold its Absorbent Products business to DrylockTechnologies Inc. for $71M. This has allowed Presto to focus on its higher margin segments while offloading the barely-profitable segment.

In August 30, 2017, the Army awarded AMTEC, as the sole prime contractor, a five-year 40mm system contract covering FY17-21 requirements. The value is approximately $79,000,000 for FY17, with deliveries scheduled to commence in late 2018. The actual annual and cumulative dollar volume with the Army over the balance of the contract will be dependent upon military requirements and funding.

We believe National Presto provides stable constant growth to the portfolio and is currently undervalued.

Description: National Presto Industries Inc. is a business consisting of three segments: Housewares/Small Appliances, Defense, and (formerly) Absorbent Products. As of December 31, 2015, Housewares/Small Appliances comprised about 29% of net sales, while Defense made up 54% and Absorbent Products took 17%. The Housewares/Small Appliances segment primarily consists of kitchen appliances targeted at consumers. The Defense segment provides ammunition and other essential materials to the government, while the Absorbent Products segment is mainly focused on private label adult incontinence products.

Investment Thesis: Beginning 2018, Newell Brands announced a revised transformation plan after the failed merger with Jarden. This revised plan will emphasize value creation and position Newell Brands so they are able to leverage their advantage in innovation, design, and e-commerce.

This plan consisted of re-structuring a majority of Newell Brands. During 2018 a number of brands were discontinued, including but not limited to Process Solutions, Rubbermaid Commercial Products and MapaBusinesses. In addition, Newell Brands has entered into agreements to sell Josten, Pure Fishing, Goody Products, Rawlings Sporting Goods, and Waddington Group.

Assuming Newell Brands successfully completes their Accelerated Transformation Plan, they will be in a position to succeed with a newly consolidated portfolio of brands and pursue international growth. Newell Brands offers a significant advantage in leadership and expertise compared to competitors. We believe that Newell Brands will be able to take advantage of this and continue to create value.

Investment ThesisOC has positioned itself well to continue growth into the future by harnessing the increased infrastructure growth in the U.S. and around the world. With the recent acquisition of Paroc, the largest insulation manufacturer in Europe, OC has high growth potential outside the U.S..

During the housing market collapse, OC saw their margins in insulation and composites dip negative for the first time in 11 years. As the housing market continues to return to its same level before the collapse, its margins continue to increase. With its new position in Europe, we can expect this more geographically diversified company to be better equipped for any future market corrections.

OC is a financially healthy company with a 1.62 current ratio. OC is able to consistently turn revenue into cash because of their increased margins and diversified consumer base across four continents. Their cash heavy sales cycle and implemented sustainable cost reductions is helpful to continue growth and keep options available for future investments.

Description: Owens Corning produces residential and commercial building materials, glass-fiber reinforcements, and engineered materials for composite systems. The company offers its products globally to various industries. OC makes insulation, roofing, and fiber-glass composites. OC is organized into three business units: composites, insulation, and roofing.

Investment Thesis: Given the secular trend of payments moving from cash to alternatives and a current trend of online payments, PayPal is in a good place to capture a large share in this growing market. They are able to safelytransfer funds within or across currencies to aid in economic advancement, earning recurring revenue streams along the way.

PayPal is able to capture both sides of the market: the merchant and the consumer, with their end-to-end interface. The company offers a robust API, with offerings such as express checkouts, invoicing, marketplace platforms, and instant payouts.

Certain recent acquisitions such as iZettle, HyperWallet, and Simility make the Company stand out as a strong purchase. These companies allow customers to easily set up payment collections for their store or online marketplace – thus creating recurring revenue streams through payment processing. Others were created to give customers the ability to autopay for things like rent, utilities, and more – another source of recurring revenue. As E-commerce increases, PayPal will be able to take advantage with its payments solutions.

Ten years ago, Pilgrim’s Pride was struggling and overwhelmed by debt. Since then, it has totally restructured, hiring a new CEO with longstanding in the industry and experience at Tyson. The company now holds 18% of the market share for chicken, second to only Tyson, and have plans for continued growth.

In 2017, it acquired Moy Park, a company based in the U.K.. This company then contributed 18.2% to net sales. Pilgrim’s Pride plans to continue this international growth, as sales continue to increase in all geographic sectors. Recently, the company has faced volatility in the commodity market amidst tariff fears, including an import ban on chicken between U.S and China. However, the company has looked to expand their portfolio with a move into fresh food and expansion of gluten-free products.

The company also received some scrutiny in early 2019 from the Humane Society of the United States for misleading consumers about the companies’ high standards of care of chickens. The company plans to make a change in advertising to reduce their liability, which should diminish the backlash from consumers.

The company has experienced short term losses due to a difficult pricing environment for commodity chicken in the United States in this past year. However, the expansion of the company’s product portfolio and continued geographic growth should set them up to experience gains in the upcoming years as volatility declines in commodity chicken.

Investment ThesisSmart & Final has 324 stores that are located in western and northern United States. It continues to transform its Smart & Final stores to the Extra! Format.

The format offers a larger, one-stop shopping experience with 16,000 SKUs, 4,000 more than the original store type. During the first three quarters of 2018, the company opened 3 new Extra! Stores, and relocated two legacy stores to the new format. The company plans to expand using both new stores and the conversion of legacy stores into the Extra! format.

Food retailers experienced deflation during the last year, especially in dairy products. We do not believe this deflation is likely to be long-term, and we expect to see inflation help profits recover.

Smart & Final has a unique business model that strives for lower prices than both grocers and large discount competitors. Smart & Final differentiates itself by having no membership fee requirement. Furthermore, Smart & Final focuses on integrated marketing for high quality perishable goods and private label products with higher margins. In 2018, it had a portfolio of 3,100 private labels items, which made up 28% of Smart & Final banner sales.

Investment ThesisUniversal Insurance Holdings takes pride in its strategy for organic growth in originating policies. Many of the company’s main Floridian competitors take on citizen policies. Universal, uniquely, does its own marketing and underwriting, taking on zero policies from citizens since a small transaction in 1998. This allows Universal to be more selective in whom it chooses to cover.

The company has expanded outside of the state of Florida. As of December 31, 2017, these policies outside the state account for 12% of direct premiums written. Through this geographic expansion, the company hopes to decrease its reinsurance costs. Furthermore, Universal acts as its own reinsurance intermediary, allowing the company to restructure its reinsurance program often to accommodate its evolving needs.

Additionally, the company announced on December 12, 2018 that it authorized a $20 million share repurchase program of its common stock through May 31, 2020.

Universal is effectively vertically integrated, avoiding the use of intermediaries or third party adjusters. The company should continue to capitalize on this by retaining fees that would have otherwise been paid to external entities.

Investment ThesisVisa Inc. expects a continuous period of growth due to its displacement of traditional cash payments and adoption of electronic transactions. In a time in which technology is becoming ever more pervasive, Visa has grasped the opportunity to participate in this growing market. The company offers a variety of platforms for secure digital transactions in the form of APIs in order to increase connectivity and accessibility to their products and services. Visa's devotion to broadening its network through technology has played a key role in the growth of the business.

During fiscal year 2018, Visa saw total payments and cash volume grow to $11.2 trillion, averaging to over 500 million transactions a day. This record high transaction frequency resulted in double digit growth for payments volume, cross-border volume, and processed transactions. Visa’s massive presence here boasts their dominance over the payment processing industry as well.

First Quarter 2019 results indicate that Visa EPS experienced a 21% YoY change settling at $1.30. Due to negative foreign currency impact, EPS saw a dip of 1%.

We expect Visa to exhibit double digit topline growth as they continue to set the pace of accelerating change and adoption of digitized modes of payment.
