Pitch Summary:
ODDITY is a fast-growing seller of beauty care products that the company sells on its proprietary technology platform under different brand names. Using its company-developed algorithms, ODDITY acquires customers online and on a variety of social media platforms. The company has been rapidly expanding its customer base and has seen exceptional customer retention rates as well as expanded annual spending per customer. We expect the company to grow its top and bottom line through the introduction of both new brands on its platform and growth of its existing brands with both new and existing customers.
BSD Analysis:
Oddity is blowing up the beauty industry by replacing shelf-space dominance with algorithmic, data-driven personalization. IL Makiage and SpoiledChild have demonstrated that performance marketing + predictive analytics can outperform legacy CPG brand-building. Gross margins are elite, recurring customer behavior is strengthening, and the company reinvests efficiently into new product lines. Oddity is not a beauty brand — it’s a data and algorithm company masquerading as one. If execution continues, this is a multi-year digital-native compounder.
Pitch Summary:
Sterling Infrastructure engages in large scale site preparation and construction work for a range of infrastructure projects including roads, bridges, airports, ports, wastewater, data centers, warehouses, and other non-residential and residential projects.

Pitch Summary:
Sterling Infrastructure engages in large scale site preparation and construction work for a range of infrastructure projects including roads, bridges, airports, ports, wastewater, data centers, warehouses, and other non-residential and residential projects. We expect market share gains, cyclical growth as infrastructure is developed to support U.S. onshoring and margin improvement. These factors should lead to sustained earnings growth for Sterling in the coming years.
BSD Analysis:
Sterling is rapidly transforming from a traditional contractor into a high-margin e-infrastructure and advanced manufacturing specialist. Data centers, EV facilities, and industrial megaprojects now drive the growth story — and these are multi-year tailwinds. Legacy heavy civil provides stability, while the newer segments provide torque. Backlog is strong, execution is tight, and the company’s mix is shifting toward structurally higher-margin work. Sterling remains one of the best-run small-cap infrastructure names in the U.S.
Pitch Summary:
The most significant drag on performance was consumer discretionary. Our largest detractor in the industry was Life Time Group Holdings, Inc., an upscale chain of fitness centers. Life Time has many years of unit growth ahead including company-specific initiatives to boost revenue per fitness center, impressive customer retention rates, and waiting lists for access to new and existing fitness centers. The company reported higher sa...
Pitch Summary:
The most significant drag on performance was consumer discretionary. Our largest detractor in the industry was Life Time Group Holdings, Inc., an upscale chain of fitness centers. Life Time has many years of unit growth ahead including company-specific initiatives to boost revenue per fitness center, impressive customer retention rates, and waiting lists for access to new and existing fitness centers. The company reported higher sales and earnings, increased consumer engagement at its centers, and progress on new openings. However, it also reported a slowdown in the growth of sign-ups at unopened locations under construction, which sparked investor fears that demand at new centers may not be as healthy as initially anticipated. During the quarter, the market was particularly wary about everything related to discretionary spending, so these concerns negatively impacted the stock price. We have confidence in the management team and their business model and think that there is ample consumer demand for the company to meet its new unit growth targets.
BSD Analysis:
Life Time is the luxury fitness chain that survived the pandemic and came out swinging. Membership growth is strong, price increases are sticking, and its premium club strategy insulates it from budget-gym competition. The company is pushing occupancy higher across new and existing centers, and the shift toward recurring, high-income members is paying off in margin expansion. Leverage is real, but cash flow trajectory is improving. Life Time is a play on the high-end consumer that’s still spending and still prioritizing wellness as a lifestyle.

Pitch Summary:
indie Semiconductor Inc is an analog and mixed signal semiconductor design company selling into the automotive market. The company is positioned to capitalize on new product launches for driver assistance and safety features that will commence in the second half of 2025. These launches should substantially boost its top and bottom line and enable the company to achieve and maintain positive cash flow and earnings. We believe indie outperformed during the quarter as investors realized that the inventory correction is over and its new design wins should begin to generate strong revenue growth over the next few quarters.
BSD Analysis:
indie Semi is a pure-play on the semiconductor content explosion inside cars — ADAS, sensors, power, connectivity — you name it. The company is scaling fast with design wins across Tier 1s and OEMs, and automotive silicon is one of the most defensible, long-cycle markets in semis. Margins are improving as scale builds, and the company’s M&A strategy is stitching together a compelling portfolio for next-gen vehicles. indie is still early, still scrappy, but it has real customers, real backlog, and a path to profitability the market is underrating.
Pitch Summary:
Several of our larger semiconductor positions will not only stand to gain from the inventory build back but are also likely to have meaningful growth from new product technology cycles. Silicon Motion Technology Corporation, a leading manufacturer of NAND flash controllers, was one of our top performers. The high-end personal computer market is at the cusp of transitioning to the next generation technology, PCIe Gen 5, and the aver...
Pitch Summary:
Several of our larger semiconductor positions will not only stand to gain from the inventory build back but are also likely to have meaningful growth from new product technology cycles. Silicon Motion Technology Corporation, a leading manufacturer of NAND flash controllers, was one of our top performers. The high-end personal computer market is at the cusp of transitioning to the next generation technology, PCIe Gen 5, and the average controller price should be approximately double what it was in the previous cycle. Silicon Motion is poised to gain considerable market share with the only six-nanometer controllers for Gen 5, and the advantage of eliminating the need for a heat sink. Additionally, Silicon Motion announced its foray into the data center market with a new design win with NVIDIA’s Bluefield DPU, which is expected to grow significantly in 2026 and 2027.
BSD Analysis:
Silicon Motion is riding the early innings of a major NAND and SSD recovery, with controller demand tightening across both client and enterprise markets. The MaxLinear breakup depressed sentiment, but SIMO’s fundamentals are too strong to ignore: tight cost control, improving mix, and a clear runway for margin expansion. Merchant controllers remain a must-have segment as OEMs balance cost and performance. With NAND pricing firming and PCIe transitions accelerating, SIMO has one of the cleanest rebound setups in small-cap semis.
Pitch Summary:
ATI rose 66% after reporting a strong first quarter and increasing its full-year guidance. Management also announced further specialty metal content wins with Airbus, one of its larger customers. ATI continues to gain market share while improving its margins and should benefit from higher industry demand as both widebody and narrowbody aircraft build rates recover.

Pitch Summary:
ATI rose 66% after reporting a strong first quarter and increasing its full-year guidance. Management also announced further specialty metal content wins with Airbus, one of its larger customers. ATI continues to gain market share while improving its margins and should benefit from higher industry demand as both widebody and narrowbody aircraft build rates recover.
BSD Analysis:
ATI is a specialty metals manufacturer positioned perfectly for the aerospace supercycle and the resurgence in advanced materials. Its high-performance alloys are critical for jet engines, defense systems, and semiconductor manufacturing — areas with multi-year growth visibility. After years of restructuring, margins are finally reflecting ATI’s premium mix, and backlog strength confirms demand isn’t slowing. Free cash flow is improving, the balance sheet is clean, and pricing power is real in an industry with few credible competitors. ATI is entering a secular uptrend with real torque.
Pitch Summary:
Pagaya is an artificial intelligence (AI)-driven fintech company that operates as a two-sided platform connecting banks and other traditional lenders with institutional investors to provide retail credit.

Pitch Summary:
Pagaya is an artificial intelligence (AI)-driven fintech company that operates as a two-sided platform connecting banks and other traditional lenders with institutional investors to provide retail credit. The company’s AI models help its institutional lending partners identify creditworthy borrowers who, for various reasons, are unable to obtain credit (mostly personal loans and auto loans) with their primary bank or financial institution. The platform serves all parties involved: banks and traditional lenders refer their customers to Pagaya when they don’t have a lending product available, institutional investors rely on Pagaya’s AI models to approve the near-prime loans, and Pagaya earns a fee from each transaction. Pagaya continued its robust growth while achieving its goal of GAAP net income profitability, which resulted in a revaluation of the company as the stock rose just over 100%.
BSD Analysis:
Pagaya is the AI underwriting engine embedded in banks and fintechs that don’t want to (or can’t) build their own risk models. The company’s network effects are real: more partners → better models → better performance → more originations. Credit normalization is helping performance, and the company is showing real operating discipline after an explosive, messy SPAC debut. If Pagaya continues proving its models work through full cycles, it becomes a must-have risk layer for consumer lenders. High beta? Yes. High upside? Absolutely.
