The company has engineered a remarkable turnaround over the last 5 years, transitioning from an overlevered business losing market share to an appropriately levered company now growing market share substantially. Basic-Fit is the dominant low-cost gym operator in Western Europe and represents the largest position. The company built a highly standardized, low-cost gym model delivering attractive price-to-value for members and high incremental returns on capital. 2026 is expected to be the inflection year as clubs opened since 2023 have reverted to pre-pandemic performance. Willis Lease Finance is a niche leader in commercial aircraft engine leasing, specializing in midlife engines. The aerospace backdrop is exceptionally strong with supply chain bottlenecks, engine reliability issues, and record order backlogs driving years of elevated demand. New engine production is effectively sold out for years. Dave is a high-growth, profitable neobank offering mobile digital banking services and small-dollar advances to customers often ignored by traditional banks. The company's Extracash product drives majority of revenues and represents a better option than payday loans or bank overdraft fees for consumers. Liquidia recently pre-announced very strong results and is expected to generate around $600-700m in sales this year and $1bn next year. The main issue continues to be lack of resolution around the patent infringement court case with competitor United Therapeutics, but the position is fully hedged. Priority Tech Holdings is exceptionally well-positioned within the financial services and payments industry, benefiting from high profitability, strong free cash flow returns, and a predictable business model. Over 90% of the company's business is either recurring or reoccurring, providing high predictability. | LQDA DAVE IWG LN LNW PRTH WLFC |
