TIP807: Portfolio Review: Analyzing Holdings and Watchlist Companies for 2026 w/ Daniel Mahncke, Shawn O'Malley, & Kyle Grieve
The Investor's Podcast (We Study Billionaires) - The Investor’s Podcast Network
TransDigm: Aerospace Aftermarket Monopoly
Discussion of TransDigm's acquisition strategy, certified part monopolies, pricing power, and aftermarket profitability.
Daniel Mahncke, Shawn O'Malley, and Kyle Grieve take a closer look at the Intrinsic Value Portfolio and some of the high-priority watchlist companies. The episode covers high-conviction portfolio holdings such as Airbnb, Universal Music Group, Reddit, and Exor, as well as watchlist companies like FICO, Trade Desk, and Nintendo. They also cover companies that might need to leave the portfolio today. Candidates are TransDigm and Copart.
For each, the question is the same: what are the key points of the investment thesis, has the thesis held up, and does the current valuation still make sense?
