"The thesis for $MELI $UBER $SE etc is more about what management is doing to to maintain and increase dominance. Is management focused on long-term value Are they willing to accept short-term pain for long-term gain Everybody is focused on the shiny new competitors.

"I think $MELI's multiple compression is just a transitionary dislocation. Market hates that they are aggressively building a bank and logistics network simultaneously. My read on the suppression 👇 Hidden margin crush is largely accounting. When you grow a credit book XX% YoY you have to book expected losses upfront while revenue comes later. It looks like margin degradation but it's actually just aggressive book building. CapEx shock is also spiking in fulfillment costs (5-6 new centers) & lower shipping thresholds is strategic. It hurts margins today but protects from competition on both"

If regulators block the $83B WBD deal Netflix owes a $5.8B Breakup Fee. That is XX% of their projected 2025 Free Cash Flow. If the deal dies in DC the stock takes a massive cash hit.

They are opening new centers fast (the capex is for GROWTH and NOT for maintenance). They're spending to lock in delivery speeds competitors can't match.

Theyre eating credit losses to capture the merchant. As long as NIMAL holds XX% the math works out. This strategy is fully focused on long-term value by withholding short-term profit.

"$NU: The Efficiency Monopoly While the governance is ironclad (as covered) the real story is a unit economic structure that makes legacy banking obsolete. Here is my operational thesis for Nu Holdings: X. The Structural Cost Moat ($0.90 vs. The World) Most fintechs are just shiny front-ends with the same back-end costs. Nu is different. Fact: Nus Cost to Serve Per Active Customer is stuck at $0.90/month. Legacy incumbents in Brazil are at $5.00$15.00. Signal: This isn't an efficiency edge but a structural arbitrage. Nu can service a low-income client profitably where incumbents lose money."

"Spot on regarding the valuation mismatch. The margin compression is partially just the upfront cost of buying future revenue . However to fully trust the FCF we need to ensure those loan loss reserves are actually funding new growth cohorts and not just plugging holes in deteriorating vintages. As long as NPLs remain stable that margin compression is actually a competitive moat in disguise 🔥"
