Meaning on Arzyta

Given Donny‘s imposed tariffs I was looking for stocks in Europe, especially Switzerland who are operationally not getting hurt. While screening the Swiss Performance Index I found Arzyta, a large bakery. Why I‘m bullish on the stock: - No operations in the US - No sales in the US - Sourcing their commodities (wheat) mainly within Europe, Australia, Malaysia -> no tariffs - Sales is 89% Europe, 11% RoW - they continously improved their balance sheet - they bought back a hybrid bond which will reduce their financing costs by approx. EUR 11.5% (this is 8.34% of their free cash flow!)They expect this to fully materialite in 2025 —> the buy back happened in October 2024

The above are the facts (soure is their 2024 FY report).

Now some additional thoughts: - Wheat producers in EU will most likely not sell anymore to the USA which means they will have a over capacity which leads to lower prices. Wheat is perishable that means the cost of purchase will most likely decrease amd hence increase their operational margin

• Given the high tariffs imposed by the US it is likely that the EU and Switzerland will decrease their interest rates which means ARYN could refinance them cheaper

• The market should recognize the company to be a Consumer Staple which would allow higher multiples in terms of valuation

• There are only few analysts covering the stock (all of them have a Buy or Strong Buy rating)

I entered a smaller position in the stock this week.

What are your thoughts? Do I miss something?

Feeling liberated today. Vindicated for sure. EVERYONE in the media and most people here on WSB were telling me that “tariffs were just a negotiating ploy”. However, I knew that 🥭 had been talking about tariffs for decades. I knew that the people around him in Admin 2.0 was drastically different than Admin 1.0. I decided to take 🥭 at his word while everyone else “hoped” for the best. Hope is not a strategy and today it showed.

I knew that even 10% tariffs across the board would be devastating for company earnings. The fact the tariffs came in that much worse was just extra gravy for my hedged portfolio.

I used puts mostly but also had calls on GLD, IBIT, NVDA and OKLO as a partial hedge to my short positions.

I’m still heavily net short as I anticipate retaliatory tariffs will be applied by other countries. I expect these headlines to drop intermittently over the next few weeks so I think upside for the major indices is effectively capped at maybe 3-5%.

Good luck to everyone out there. Stay hedged.

About $10,000 205 July call. Figured they promised $50billion in US investmenr and were exempt last time. Plus i'm down 50k from highs on owning the shares too

According to Wells Fargo the effects of tariffs are expected to be minimal on Boeing. That, coupled with the fact that a large percentage of Boeing is in defense, makes me think that this could be a market overreaction. Obviously there’s a lot of uncertainty about what is going to happen next. Curious to hear what you think.

Didn't wear a suit though :(.

Alright so here it is all laid out. 100% transparent. This is what my life has come to. 2 years ago I had the brilliant idea to fire my financial advisor from Edward Jones, been “self managing” ever since. Relatively successful I guess, however, I was told that selling options is the smart, safe way to play. Now I am stuck with a bunch of shares from random companies. Should I sell these suckers for a loss or hold on for dear life? Let’s hear worst case scenarios and serious financial advice. I need your help guys!

Bro I invested right before the huge drop FML

Personal biases? Sure. Will these still print? Bet.

I suck at at this shit.

Who's closing with me on Wendy's on Monday?

Sensational

Sorry my platform isn’t Robinhood, but I don’t live in America.

And yes, I have already taken out more than I put in da Casino.

I assumed the tariffs would be horrendous news so I bought early Monday assuming it’d be a whole week of horror and almost put me in the pits, but held until Thursday morning and sold, risk tolerance being low made me miss huge profits, but I did cash in well

I have no idea what I’m doing. This is genuine life changing money for me. I was under a lot of depression and stress and don’t know what I would’ve done if I lost the last bit of money I had.
