I’ve recently been thinking about how one can make a big return on their investment and where that return can come from. I was watching the amazing Focused Compounding Podcast on Youtube specifically their video on where a return can come from:
Growth of the Earnings/Business
Dividend/Buybacks - Return capital to shareholders
Multiple Expansion
I typically want my investments to have all three of these drivers of price but I will take two or even one if the scenario is extreme enough. To that end I think I may have found a business that is so undervalued that just one of the value drivers above can change for one to make a huge MOIC (Multiple on Invested Capital).

Chinese Stocks
AI/GLP-1 disrupted businesses
Bankruptcies
Rate Sensitive Businesses (REITs etc.)
The following stock is pulled from one of the categories above.
