“This shift has already proven its worth . During our proxy contest at AstroNova, AI tools helped us produce the extensive ISS deck and other materials that would have been vastly more costly to prepare otherwise (i.e., we would have needed to spend an incremental six figures, and/or developed far lower quality work -product). We earned endorsements from both ISS and Glass Lewi s, and the incumbent board requested the CEO's resignation . I believe, though it is of course impossible to verify, that we may well have run the first AI -powered proxy contest in history. Although we are still early in implementing this technology, and further advances (such as GPT -5) are arriving in real time, we are mostly through rebuilding all of our core tools we have relied on for a decade to be AI -first – from our research documents to our watchlist. Some of this is still under construction, which is why we ask for your patience for another month or two before we return to full tear -sheets and portfolio commentary . BSD Analysis: AstroNova is a specialty printer and data-acquisition company tied to aerospace, industrial labeling, and proprietary printing tech. Its aerospace business benefits from high retrofit and replacement demand, and industrial labeling is a sticky, consumables-heavy category. Margins are improving thanks to mix shift, and the company's intellectual property in specialty printing keeps competition thin. It's a slow-burn industrial-tech compounder the market barely watches.” | BULL | Q2 2025 Aug 10, 2025 | View Pitch |
