No hedge fund decides certainly the day of earnings to sell a position down 30% unless they are facing immediate redemptions and even then the process is orderly. Most wait to speak to management even if it is a week after the event before making a material investment decision around a position that has moved 20% or more. Retail pods and bucket shops are usually behind these moves. Brad does incredible"

Appliances category is particularly concerning given a very easy comp - naturally investors will look at weakness in consumer electronics then look at PERSISTENT weakness in appliances and conclude that this is not a one-off for weakness in consumer elecrtonics. The question is "Isn't this priced into the stock trading at 11x forward earnings" We don't think so in fact we think $BBY falls into the "Looks"

"From @Heady_Creek year-end letter $RBLX: Roblox (RBLX): Incredible engagement but what if this is another SNAP By that we mean What if this is a platform that everybody uses and most of those that do could not dream of living without it but advertisers cant figure us out" How do you have the engagement levels of Tik-Tok but even after a 40% YTD gain is still valued at 1/10th the Bytedance owned phenomenon Because the average age (and experience) skews older at HCR most of the analysts have kids and lately weve all been saying the same thing: Have you heard of Steal the Brainrot There are"

"@Heady_Creek is recommending clients build a position in $ANF. We missed the blow-off top from $105-125 but after our meetings at #ICR we walk away confident that both brands will normalize at a 4-5% comp and 14-15% margins. We have a more in-depth report which includes an analysis on the exciting opportunity in EMEA for our institutional cleints. https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2011149633712787649 https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2011149633712787649"

"@Heady_Creek met with $ONON management at #ICR. The brand has benefited from the US wholesale channel specifically their presence at $DKS . But despite the significant tailwinds from their partnership with $DKS $ONON pushes a luxury narrative. Most of the meeting was spent discussing the commitment to full-priced sell-through and the in-store (DTC) experience. Management does not seem to be focused on growth instead focusing on full-priced sell-through as this is the defining factor in whether or not a brand is premium. But management does not control pricing in the wholesale channel and"

"$RIVN R1S is spiking in popularity. As one of the few electric cars with a 3rd row it is the modern day soccer mom's new favorite. A lack of dealership and service locations has historically held back this cohort of buyer but this may be changing soon: https://www.reddit.com/r/Rivian/comments/1qbdvu6/vw_dealer_told_me_today_vw_will_service_rivians/ https://www.reddit.com/r/Rivian/comments/1qbdvu6/vw_dealer_told_me_today_vw_will_service_rivians/"

"We sent this out to clients last night $PVH $FIVE: PVH: we recommend investors reduce their long exposure to PVH based on todays print. The companys results were disappointing against low expectations. Valuation is the only positive though we caution investors to consider a potential/material spend in the next 12-24 months to revamp the brand the channel mix and the store count. Specialty and branded apparel has de-rated over the last year with winners and losers emerging during this earnings season. PVHs perception as a loser with only two brands at their disposal will weigh on valuation."

"From @Heady_Creek year-end letter: $HSY The Hershey Company (HSY) is poised for significant margin expansion in [----]. A combination of factors is creating one of the most attractive price-cost dynamics we see across staples: The devaluation of the Swiss Currency (CHF) and tariffs have raised the price of imported chocolate The rise in popularity of Dubai chocolate which actually contains less than 20% of its weight in cocoa is leading to a decline in the price of cocoa and cocoa butter The decline in popularity of Mr. Beast The share shift from Mr. Beast to Dubai chocolate is a net benefit"

"We sold our remaining holdings in $W after a great run. We bought shares earlier this year when we saw the company make a strategic shift in how it markets focusing less on driving organic traffic to their site and app and instead letting social sites like $PINS carry the burden of driving traffic to $W. With more ad load devoted to larger brands like $W and $AMZN through the year we were not surprised to see $Ws contribution margin and leverage on advertising improve this quarter. $CROX is also pulling back on performance marketing spend across both brands specifically #HeyDude and"

The company recently reported earnings that disappointed the street relative to the extent of tariffs and their impact on EPS. We think this reaction was short-sighted and misses the bigger opportunity in the company and the sector: ROST operates in the close-out retail sector. They provide value to customers by purchasing excess inventory from brands and"

"We initiated a position in Maplebear Inc. better know as Instacart $CART. They recently reported a great quarter with growth and profitability ahead of expectations. The stock has since sold off in reaction to $AMZN entering the grocery delivery business. We have been following their developments in the grocery space from the day they acquired Whole Foods to their Amazon Fresh store initiative. While initially disruptive $AMZN has not been successful. https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1956469162491924650 https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1956469162491924650"
