🥈 Williams Sonoma (link)

Ticker: $WMS | Current Price: $112.70 | Price Target: N/A

🍳 Cookware | 🛍️ Retail | 📈 Long Idea

The author evaluates the fundamental health of Williams-Sonoma, a consumer retail company that sells kitchenware and home furnishings. The company meets the author's criteria and is considered a leader in high-quality cookware and tools. Williams-Sonoma has a strong digital platform and has invested in technology and supply chain to support e-commerce growth. The company recognizes the importance of physical stores and has put investments in AI, VR, AR, and 3D modeling on hold due to the pandemic. Williams-Sonoma is expanding its manufacturing and fulfillment capability and leveraging its omnichannel network to mitigate shipping constraints. The management, including CEO Laura Alber, is evaluated positively, with effective capital allocation and a sustainable dividend. The bull case for Williams-Sonoma includes aggressive share buybacks and potential long-term growth in the home industry market. However, consumer spending and competition are bearish factors that could impact the company.

🥉 Energy Transfer: The Lake Charles Debacle And Why You Should Buy (link)

Ticker: $ET | Current Price: $12.75 | Price Target: $19.12 (+50%)

🛢️ Oil/Gas | 🚢 Shipping | 🚨 Event Driven | 📈 Long Idea

The Lake Charles project has been a problem for Energy Transfer, with setbacks due to regulatory changes by the US Department of Energy. The project has approval to export natural gas and is seen as valuable for the domestic natural gas market. However, the DOE's decision on the export license is uncertain and may be politically motivated. The timing of the final investment decision is also uncertain. The author argues that the potential upside for Energy Transfer's stock is significant, with a potential increase of over 50% if the project succeeds. The downside risk is considered minimal as the project is not heavily built into the stock price. The author believes that once the project becomes official, the stock price will significantly rise and Energy Transfer will become a global leader in natural gas exports. However, there are risks to this analysis, including the failure of the project and oversaturation of the export market. Overall, the author sees this as a strong buy opportunity with high upside potential.

Yesterday’s Question: The SEC banned this practice after the 2008 financial crisis as it was partly blamed for the downfall of Lehman Brothers and other big banks.

Answer: Naked Short Selling (56% of you got it correct!)

🐻 Bearish v 🐂 Bullish

Company: Unity ($U)

Bullish Reasons:

  1. Dominance in Game Development: Unity is the de facto tool for game development outside of Asia, with over 70% of games built in Unity. This dominance could provide a competitive advantage and potential for growth

  2. End-to-End Platform: Unity believes that its combination with ironSource provides a unique end-to-end platform that solves more of its customers' toughest challenges, enabling it to accelerate its revenue growth, making Unity cash flow positive and add new capabilities and amazing leaders

  3. Pricing and Packaging Change: Unity announced and launched a significant pricing and packaging change within its Unity Pro, Unity Enterprise, and Unity Industrial Collection offerings. The company raised the price between 13% and 25% across these offerings, the first significant price change in three years

Bearish Reasons:

  1. Securities Class Action: Unity, its CEO, CFO, and General Manager of Operate Solutions, as well as Unity shareholders, are facing a securities class action. The complaint alleges that the company and its executives made false or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose issues with the company’s product platform and the likely impact of those issues on the company’s fiscal 2022 guidance

  2. Dependence on Customer Success: Unity's success depends in part on the ability of its customers to market and sell games that are created or operated with its solutions. If its customers’ marketing efforts are unsuccessful or if its customers experience a decrease in demand for their games, sales of Unity's Create Solutions and its Grow Solutions could be reduced

  3. Impact of Macroeconomic Trends: Recent negative macroeconomic factors, such as inflation, corresponding heightened interest rates, limited credit availability, and the strengthening of the U.S. dollar, could have an adverse impact on Unity's business
