Ace River Capital 2025 Q4 (RICK)
Pitch Summary: During the fourth quarter, RCI Hospitality shares declined roughly 25% following the filing of bribery and tax-related charges against the CEO, CFO, and other executives by the New York Attorney General in September 2025. These developments created significant legal and governance uncertainty and drove the stock to what I would describe as crisis […]
New Era Energy & Digital, Inc. (NUAI) – FuzzyPanda
Pitch Summary: FuzzyPanda (@FuzzyPandaShort) is short NUAI and frames the equity as a classic promotion-driven story rather than an investable operating turnaround. The core claim is that management pivoted from a legacy helium/natural-gas concept into an “AI data center” narrative and used extensive paid promotion to levitate the stock. The pitch argues governance is deteriorating, […]

GreenWood Investors 2025 Q4 (UHR SW)
Pitch Summary: Swatch’s anti-fragile balance sheet anchors the valuation while its margins have diminished towards zero.

Pitch Summary: We attended the company’s AGM at their new facility in October and came away very impressed.

Pitch Summary: AAR Corp. is a global aerospace and defense aftermarket services provider that supports commercial airlines and government customers through parts distribution and supply-chain solutions, as well as maintenance, repair, and overhaul services—an area we believe is structurally supported by high aircraft utilization and an aging fleet. During the quarter, shares detracted from performance […]
Massif Capital 2025 Q4 (LAR)
Pitch Summary: Lithium Argentina, as a stand-alone company, is in our view one of the only companies in the lithium sector that is currently investable. We have taken some minor profits on the position this quarter. Given the standstill period expiration on the Argentinian national elections (2026), the standstill will remain in place through 2026.

Pitch Summary: Select Growth exited its position in Venture Global to reallocate capital to higher-conviction businesses that we believe are better positioned to benefit from the rise of AI.

Pitch Summary: UniFirst is controlled by its founding family through a dual-class share structure and has delivered mediocre operating performance over the past several years.
