TIVP067: Portfolio Review: Thoughts on Airbnb, Reddit, Adobe, and co. w/ Daniel Mahncke, Shawn O'Malley, & Kyle Grieve
The Intrinsic Value Podcast - The Investor’s Podcast Network
Universal Music Group as a royalty business
Shawn and Daniel explain UMG's catalog ownership, royalty streams, publishing, and high cash conversion advantages.
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.
