Barfresh's Juice is Worth the Squeeze

Barfresh Food Group, Inc., together with its subsidiaries, manufactures and distributes ready-to-drink and ready-to-blend frozen beverages in the United States. It offers smoothies, shakes and frappes in various formats comprising ready-to-drink smoothie, easy pour, juice concentrates, and single serve.

Ticker: BRFH | Price: $3.26 | Price Target: $30 (+820%)
Market Cap: $44.6M | Timeframe: 2026

🧃 Ready-to-drink Beverages | 📈 Bullish Idea

Barfresh ($BRFH), a company selling USDA-approved ready-to-drink smoothies and juice concentrates to schools, has captured 10% market share and is disrupting the school meals industry through its collaboration with the USDA. Despite guiding for record revenues and profitability in 2024, and a roadmap to $20M+ EBITDA in 3-5 years, the stock trades at historical lows, presenting a potential $30 price by 2026. Barfresh faces no direct competition in the education channel, with high barriers to entry, and has opportunities for expansion through new markets, products, and channels like QSR and retail. While operational execution and dilution remain risks, the company's strong management and shareholder alignment, coupled with multiple catalysts for re-rating, make it an attractive long-term investment opportunity.

FUND LETTER - Arar Fund

Arar Fund: Gravity ($GRVY)

Gravity Co., Ltd. develops and publishes online and mobile games worldwide. It offers a massively multiplayer online role-playing game, including Ragnarok Online, Dragonica, Ragnarok Online II, and Ragnarok Landverse.

Ticker: GRVY | Price: $82.86 | Price Target: N/A
Market Cap: $579M | Timeframe: N/A

🕹️ Video Games | 📈 Bullish Idea

Gravity Co Ltd (GRVY), a Korean online game developer, has grown earnings threefold in five years while trading at a P/E under 5. The company owns the popular Ragnarok IP, which drives revenue through in-game purchases and has expanded to new markets and games. Despite the risks of dependence on a single franchise and potential fraud, Gravity's cash pile exceeds its market cap, and its parent company, GungHo, may acquire it or force a dividend. With a 20% earnings yield and a net cash position, Gravity presents an extremely cheap investment opportunity with high upside potential, as long as it can convince investors it is not a 'wolf in sheep's clothing.'

American Salars Lithium - $USLI.CN

American Salars Lithium Inc. engages in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties.

Ticker: USLI.CN | Price: CAD 0.31 | Price Target: N/A
Market Cap: CAD 6.73M | Timeframe: N/A

🔋 Lithium | 📈 Bullish Idea

* This is a low market-cap, low liquidity stock. Only trade it if you know what you are doing. I recommend using Interactive Brokers (link) to trade international and OTC stocks if you can’t trade them in your current brokerage

American Salars Lithium (USLI.CN), up 60% year-to-date, holds a strategic position in the lucrative lithium market, with only 16 million shares outstanding. Located in the Incahuasi Salar region, USLI boasts a 93.2% lithium extraction efficiency and adheres to NI 43-101 standards, with a resource estimate of 457,000 tonnes of lithium carbonate valued at around $20,000 per ton. A recent acquisition doubled its portfolio to over 900,000 tonnes LCE, increasing its in-situ value to $12.5 billion USD. Surrounded by industry giants like Ganfeng and Rio Tinto, and with new board member Christopher Cooper from Alpha Lithium, USLI is well-positioned to capitalize on the growing demand for lithium driven by the EV and renewable energy markets

VALUE INVESTORS CLUB - chewy

Equity Commonwealth - $EQC

Equity Commonwealth (NYSE: EQC) is a Chicago based, internally managed and self-advised real estate investment trust (REIT) with commercial office properties in the United States. EQC's portfolio is comprised of four properties totaling 1.5 million square feet.

Ticker: EQC | Price: $19.39 | Price Target: $22.01 (+14%)
Market Cap: $2B | Timeframe: Early Fall

🏠 REIT | 🚨 Special Situation | 📈 Bullish Idea

Equity Commonwealth (EQC), a US-listed REIT trading slightly below its net cash balance of $19.17 per share, is being pressured by activist investor Land & Buildings to liquidate its assets, which management expects to address with a wind-down plan by year-end. The company's $22.01 per share target price is based on a $357 million valuation for its four Class A office properties at a 9.6% cap rate (~$230/sqft). With downside protected by cash and the potential for an uncorrelated return, shareholders are encouraged to support the liquidation by emailing director Peter Linneman. A cash return is expected upon a successful dissolution vote in early fall.
