🏦 Bank | 📈 Bullish Idea

* I recommend using Interactive Brokers link to trade international and OTC stocks if you can’t trade them in your current brokerage

FFB Bancorp (FFBB) is a California-based regional bank with a 20%+ 5-year EPS growth rate, trading at 9x earnings. The company boasts a 23% annual loan growth, 5.2% net interest margin, 47% efficiency ratio, and 25% ROE. FFBB aims to grow assets 6x in three regions over 7-10 years, expand geographically, and develop new tech services. With a 19% CET1 ratio, the bank is well-capitalized and has announced a 5% share buyback. The $160 price target represents a 75% upside, based on a 15x earnings multiple. Key risks include California's economic performance and potential loan losses, while catalysts include new product adoption and M&A opportunities. FFBB's loan portfolio quality is strong, with only 1.6% criticized plus watch list loans and 0.5% non-performing loans. The company's growth is driven by transaction processing, SME lending, and real estate loans, with management targeting a 25% annual growth rate over the next 7-10 years.

ANALYST REPORT - Erin Lash

The Kraft Heinz Company: Even Amid the Macro and Competitive Malaise, We Think Shares Look Tasty

The Kraft Heinz Company, together with its subsidiaries, manufactures and markets food and beverage products in North America and internationally.

Ticker: KHC | Price: $34.78 | Price Target: $57 (+64%)
Market Cap: $42B | Timeframe: N/A

🍔 Food Products | 📈 Bullish Idea

The Kraft Heinz Company (KHC) is currently undervalued, trading 40% below the $57 fair value estimate. Under new management, the company has shifted focus from cost-cutting to strategic brand investments, increasing R&D and marketing spend. This has resulted in improved market share and shelf space gains. Kraft Heinz is expected to achieve low-single-digit organic sales growth and maintain low-20s operating margins. The company benefits from a narrow moat based on brand strength and cost advantages, with a 30% direct operating margin. Risks include ongoing inflation, particularly in coffee, dairy, and meats, as well as potential competition intensification. Kraft Heinz has authorized a $3 billion share buyback program and offers a 4-5% dividend yield. The stock carries a Medium Uncertainty Rating, reflecting the company's ability to counter competitive and macro pressures.

FUND LETTER - Munro Global Growth Fund

Munro Global Growth Fund Portfolio Holding: Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited, together with its subsidiaries, manufactures, packages, tests, and sells integrated circuits and other semiconductor devices in Taiwan, China, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Japan, the United States, and internationally.

Ticker: TSM | Price: $186.65 | Price Target: N/A
Market Cap: $839B | Timeframe: N/A

⚡️ Semiconductors | 📈 Bullish Idea

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (TSM), the world's largest semiconductor foundry with over 60% market share, presents an attractive investment opportunity at 25x forward P/E. The company is well-positioned to benefit from the growing AI market, with AI server revenue expected to grow at a 50% CAGR over the next 5 years, potentially representing over 20% of total revenue by 2028. This target has been revised upwards twice since Q2 2023, indicating rapid market growth. Additionally, the proliferation of AI in consumer and business applications is driving higher semiconductor content in devices, further benefiting TSMC. Despite a slowdown in key end markets like smartphones, IoT, and automotive in 2023, Munro added TSM to their portfolio in December 2023, anticipating a cyclical rebound in 2024 and beyond. The company has a potential path to over $60 in EPS by 2026, making it an attractive long-term investment in the semiconductor industry.
