In this episode of the Planet MicroCap Podcast, I’m joined by Luis Sanchez, Founder of LVS Advisory, to discuss his firm’s differentiated event-driven and global growth strategies, and why he sees compelling opportunities emerging outside the crowded large-cap tech trade. Luis walks us through his high-conviction “Power Thesis,” which identifies a massive structural shortage in U.S. electricity driven by AI and data center demand, and highlights key beneficiaries across nuclear, LNG, and energy infrastructure.
We also explore why LVS is optimistic about merger arbitrage and corporate restructurings in 2026, how he’s positioning around global dislocations and misunderstood compounders, and why today’s concentrated market environment may be creating one of the most attractive opportunity sets for disciplined, catalyst-driven investors. We mention a number of companies and sectors during this conversation, and I’m not a shareholder in any of them.
