"What's your best idea right now Could be something entirely unaffected (but sold off) or just something bombed out because of uncertainty Canadian oil sell-off friday (and anything remotely oil) makes me like $matr $ipco & $meg.to - but also $pax (LATAM PE 70% fees in $ )"

"Umicore with a big guidance raise. Almost a double since the lows in April. Imagine if they sell the battery division and start showering shareholders with that prodigious free cash (or will the new CEO fund a new science project I don't think so fwiw. Has been cutting HQ.) I think it's a great setup despite recent bounce. Core business is incredibly cash generative. Reason why stock has sucked ass is due to capital (mis)allocation with a failed bet on EV battery tech which new mngmt is fixing. I think it's a great setup despite recent bounce. Core business is incredibly cash generative."

"Why'd investors lose interest in can manufacturers $ball and $cck paid down lots of debt in recent years utilization is high outlook seems fine lots of cash getting returned (although Ball mngmt sounds pretty dumb re buybacks)"

"@jefke00 Was looking at Smurfit and liked what I saw but I am not sure on industry dynamics. Big players close capacity while smaller benefits Cans seems like the better business and just a bit more expensive - LT growth staggered LT contracts much fewer players"
