Episode notes
Investing in Axon
- Axon's high valuation suggests a premium price, but its substantial market opportunity justifies the cost.
- Mitigating valuation risk by gradually building a position in the company over time is wise.
Axon and Flock Safety
- Axon's stock dropped nearly 30% after cutting ties with Flock Safety, an automated license plate reader partner.
- It seems the split is due to renegotiation tactics, and the companies might partner again soon.
TJX Earnings
- TJX Companies, parent of TJ Maxx and Marshalls, saw lukewarm sales and profit growth.
- Their value-focused model, catering to consumer needs, contributes to their success in a challenging retail environment.
