ASR

I don't see this happening, but if you think that's where things are going you look at airports (OMAB, ASR, PAC etc), you look at rails (Groupo Mexico w/their stake in Ferromex, CP), you buy Wal Mart de Mexico SAB, you look at industrial REITs in Mexico (FIBRA Prologis, etc.) Again, I don't see this happening (at least to a signifcant degree), but if you really thought this was going to happen to a signficant degree, logistics is certainly an area I'd be looking at.

Among other news: "SharpLink Gaming(SBET), a Nasdaq-listed company that is pursuing an ether ETH treasury strategy, tumbled 70% on Thursday in after-hours trading following a fresh filing to theU.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The company submitted an S-3ASR registration statement, enabling the resale of up to 58,699,760 shares related to its private investment in public equity (PIPE) financing. The Thursday filing allows more than 100 shareholders in the PIPE round to sell their shares, effectively flooding the market and triggering a post-close sell-off,Charles Allen, CEO ofBTCS(BTCS), a publicly-traded firm that's pursuing crypto reserve strategy, explained in an X post and an interview with CoinDesk. The company raised$450 millionearlier this month through a PIPE round from a wide range of investors, including ConsenSys, Galaxy, and Pantera Capital, to acquire ETH for its treasury. Ethereum co-founder and ConsenSys CEOJoseph Lubinalso joined the firm as board chairman. However, there may be a larger strategy behind the latest move. Allen said in an X post that he thinks the company may have quietly raised up to$1 billionto buy more ETH using an at-the-market (ATM) offering that was previously announced in aMay 30SECfiling. "If they played cards right, they would expect a surprise PR tomorrow with$1Bof ETH purchases, which could light the match to reignite the stock," he said. ETH is down 4.1% over the past 24 hours at around$2,650as bitcoin and the broader crypto markets slid."

I'm partial to airports, OMAB (I own), PAC, and ASR are the Mexican names. CAAP is mostly South America. There are a few others. Absolutely great businesses, with large moats and lots of recurring revenue. Aerospace is another great niche, it sort of gets lumped in with defense since many companies do both.

Israel wouldn't do this without US support. They don't have the hardware to do it themselves with all the tankers, jamming and other ASR assets required for a strike like this.

•My wife was at a music festival she usually goes to year after year. She noticed this year the restaurant was empty and people were eating picnic lunches. •I take decorative plastering classes every summer that usually fill up months in Advance, within 24-48hrs, there are still slots open for courses in six weeks. •some really good deals on vintage Hifi these days, but that is more of a macro trend. All the owners are dying and the kids buy those little ASR incel headphone DACs from Jyna and call it a day.

Not sure if my comment will add any value seeing as this is a relatively old post, but hear me out: Been working in IR for over 3 years across 2 major companies, all with publicly listed subsidiaries as well. In that time, I had been tasked to clean up those shitty ass websites and let me tell you: it is a completely insane thing to manage that no one person should do (which happens to be the norm idk). The biggest pain is when the company itself handles all IR-website related stuff instead of 3rd party vendor, because then all documents will have to be collated and accounted for by an already overworked team. The point person handling the website will have to coordinate with all departments, especially Legal, to find out what the SEC requirements for disclosures are. Then youd have to constantly keep updating the website, which means having to rely on the company’s IT personnel for help in updating it (like some sites need to be whitelisted before any updates can be made etc) and most of the time this gets reprioritized at the very last minute. And these updates can oftentimes be subjected to what is legally supposed to show a company to make sure you’re compliant with regulations. And you do these every single quarter. Then there’s the issue of making sure your website is on brand with the company. IR handles the ASR and more often than not, that means that materials and any related visuals must be updated to show the company’s latest reports. And this happens every year, but collation of data for the annual and sustainability reports starts at the last quarter of the year. So if you had been updating the website before then, youre gonna have to update it again in the next few months — so what happens is companies just give up and dump all those filings wherever the minimum SEC requirements deem them appropriate. It’s shitty and I hope IR culture changes because as stewards of the public’s capital, it should be able to make these documents easily accessible.

You own any (PAC, ASR, OMAB)? Haven't come across too many people who do. Definitely a niche area of investing.

aside from 'healthcare', one of the things that UAHC purports to be into, is 'rubber from dandelions'... "American Sustainable Rubber Company (ASR) is passionately pursuing large-scale domestic production of natural rubber through genetically modified dandelions to help satisfy America's massive demand. ASR is currently modifying the T.K. Dandelion to support commercial growth and harvesting. Ultimate success in this venture will reduce America's dependence on foreign rubber suppliers, through which the U.S. is exposed to geopolitical risks as well as environmental factors. ASR relishes the prospect of creating a profitable, useful, and environmentally-conscious business model that fills an economic and social need."

Boards only meet so often and the share repurchase authorization at the end of the quarter had fallen to a level that wouldn’t allow management to fully capitalize on a pullback in share price. Authorization is not the same thing as announcing an ASR or the intent to repurchase shares over a specific period of time. Markets are forward looking and investors are tweaking their models to consider slowing growth rates and managements ability to retain margin as they grow the top line. The smaller beat this quarter is not a real issue. The sell side arrived at a more accurate consensus than prior quarters and that isn’t a bad thing.

PAC coming into support around $145 looks really enticing. I'm always torn because I think PAC has better airports, but ASR seems to have a better balance sheet. Have you looked into CAAP by any chance?

Really nice long form write up and valuation of Nubank (NU), found [here](https://open.substack.com/pub/wolfofharcourtstreet/p/nu-holdings-investment-thesis?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android&r=23ti9i). I recently opened a position on the Mexican election selloff. I continue to think Latin America offers a really amazing growth story. They have some of the best demographics in the world, and a long road towards modernization. Of course, the airport stocks...CAAP for more South America exposure is incredibly cheap (though has emerging market risk) and ASR/OMAB/PAC for a Mexican focus. Of course, the gem of indexes lately has been the NASDAQ (or XLE since the covid lows). Here is a [nice](https://www.thornburg.com/article/2024-outlook-emerging-markets-misunderstood-and-mispriced/#:~:text=Contrary%20to%20recent%20experience%2C%20over,behind%20emerging%20markets%20at%207.83%25.) breakdown of emerging markets vs US equities.

Cisco sucks. It’ll continue to trade in the same range it has for the past 20 years. Go to r/networking and read the opinions. Nobody’s first choice is Cisco. They’ve completely stopped innovating and have stagnated compared to their peers. Cisco completely lost the firewall market to Palo Alto and Fortinet. Every acquisition they make underperforms, ie: Meraki’s cloud managed offerings getting smoked by Juniper Mist, Webex (lol) getting smoked by Teams and Zoom, Duo getting smoked by Azure MFA. I guess OP’s post was about them benefiting from infrastructure spending, but I doubt Cisco is anyone’s top choice in default-free zone internet routing either. Usually you see Arista, Nokia, Juniper mentioned more than Cisco’s ASR line. Cisco is a good investment if you want to sell it in 10 years for the same price you bought it for. To be fair, I guess that means it’s better than what 99% of us are buying instead. So fuck it, buy boring ass Cisco.

stock buyback does not mean they are obligated to fulfill it, rather they can if they want to. they can choose to execute 0 share buybacks if they want to and just let the authorization expire this is different from an ASR- accelerated share repurchase where the company announces they recently spent X billion to acquire shares- an already done deal.

creemeeseason

OMAB, PAC, ASR....most Mexican airports are operated by publicly traded companies.

creemeeseason

Some info about the Mexican airports....heard an interview with Ian Bezek, one of the big airport bulls. There was this exchange: Like you mentioned, there was a sell-off a couple of weeks ago because the government, the full details are now that the government wants to lower tariffs, the fee is about 5% to 8%, which would kind of reverse. In 2020, the airports got higher tariffs to compensate them for COVID, but now it appears that since that has ended, the government wants the rates to go back down. But this was poorly communicated with the market, and so the stocks plunged, and you saw the headlines about socialism and how you can't trust South American markets and all. But I think now that cooler heads have prevailed, they say, oh, well, they kind of did earn more during COVID and it's kind of fair to return to 2019 profit levels. But yeah, I think there's a large opportunity in those names now because they have the lowest valuations aside from March 2020 of the past decade. You get starting in 4% or 5% dividend yields and should be double-digit earnings growth going forward. NB: Right. What was the company there? It's Grupo Aeroporto Del Norte? IB: Yeah, that is, Del Norte (OMAB) is Monterrey and then Pacifico (PAC) is Guadalajara and Tijuana and then Sureste (ASR) is Cancun. NB: And they all sold off if you look at the charts, right. But you think that was overblown and maybe presenting an entry opportunity? IB: Yeah, I would say the government's, what we know publicly that's been reported, I would say that lowered my fair value estimates 10% to 15%, but obviously the stocks dropped quite a bit more than that. So, that's the deal. I'm very interested. My bear case is still still a possible short term travel slowdown, but I'm longer term bullish. Still no position.

Company buybacks are not guaranteed. What companies do is open a share buyback program, which they cap at let's say 10B at 5 years. The company now has the OPTION to buy back 10B of shares during the next 5 years, doesn't mean they necessarily will do it. This is different than an ASR- where a company instantly buys back large blocks of shares. Typically however, when companies announce a program, they will usually execute as otherwise, investors will distrust management

Mexico City airport is the only major airport in the country which is publicly owned rather than private. OMAB does operate a hotel at the Mexico City Airport which is the only available exposure across PAC/OMAB/ASR but it's not a huge component of their results. I came to the airports after owning/researching $KSU (now $CP) whose track runs through the Mexican manufacturing heartland. $OMAB is most concentrated to that area primarily bc of about 50% of Rev coming from Monterrey, the key Northern trade city which imo will be the most important growth center for supporting trade with US/Canada. $PAC has Guadalajara but is also more diversified with eg Tijuana/Cabos (more leisure focused travel). $PAC:$OMAB market cap ratio is currently about 2.25:1 but I own them in a ratio closer to 1.4:1 to overweight the Monterrey exposure.

TheHiveMindSpeaketh

I have owned PAC/OMAB since 2019 and added heavily at the COVID bottom, by far my best picks ever. Outstanding exposure to the regionalization/nearshoring thesis IMO. Careful with ASR tho as it is more exposed to tourism and also gets more % rev outside Mexico (colombia). Happy to discuss in detail at any time.

First, breathe. We want the same thing, an interesting place where novel, interesting, and occasionally funny, things happen. Now, short of going approve-only for all videos, or automatically processing all our content through some super well made classifier, anything that gets posted is moderated by hand after being posted. Since that content is going to be manually actioned if necessary, our existing policy to remove deepfakes that cross the line is in effect the same as what you're proposing. As you mentioned, none of the rules you mentioned apply here. * Political bullshit: This applies when 100% of the content is political and there are no market links. * No pump and dumps: This is when people try to co-ordinate market moving action as a group together. * No bullshitting: This is when people claim something is true, but it isn' * Impersonation: "While we permit satire and parody, we will always take into account the context of any particular content." With all these things in mind, it should be clear that: 1. Deepfakes cannot be stopped prior to submission, nor automatically after submission. They must be reviewed manually. 2. Deepfakes do not violate any existing subreddit or Reddit rules, and adding new rules to prevent their submission would necessarily make it more difficult to post content that people find enjoyable. Now, what do we do to prevent bad content and misinformation? 1. We have 25+ moderators covering all timezones to remove content, both reported and otherwise. 2. We have a highly robust system for people to report and remove content *without moderator intervention*, roughly 100 unique users use this function every day. 3. We have made significant investments in using OCR and ASR to automatically suggest content that should be removed, on top of a robust text matching system. I hope that quells your concerns.

Well, just Google. Investopedia is such a great tool. Don't know what a shelf offering is? Google, the first result would be Investopedia (probably). After that, you can pick any company you want on the [SEC EDGAR site](https://www.sec.gov/edgar/searchedgar/companysearch) and search their name or ticker. Once you are there just click on the "View filings" button and search for S-3 (or S-3ASR) which is the form that is submitted for shelf offerings. If you want to see recent companies that filed S-3 or S-3ASR, go to the same link I put in the comment and just click on "Latest Filings" on the left, there just search for S-3 and you will see everyone who filed S-3 or S-3ASR.

Below are some screenshots that will clarify things: [424B5 Prospectus Supplement Common Stock Warrant Form refers to Form S-3ASR corresponding to Automatic Shelf Registration](https://imgur.com/OqrmoDg) [Post Effective Amendment to Automatic Shelf Registration (check out matching file number) Distribution Plan States Underwriter Details Required in Prospectus Supplement](https://imgur.com/z1c81s0) [424B5 Prospectus Supplement Underwriting Section Provides No Underwriter Details For Common Shares](https://imgur.com/FyHBFJJ) There is a provision for cashless exercise of Common Stock Warrants, if Registration Statement specifying underwriting details is not active, as in this [424B5 Prospectus Supplement Common Stock Warrant Form Cashless Exercise Section Screenshot](https://imgur.com/ofgZOed), but as can be seen from the highlighted snippet, in that case the common shares issued will be unregistered shares pursuant to [SEC Rule 144 holding requirements](https://www.sec.gov/reportspubs/investor-publications/investorpubsrule144) of at least 6 months. Also, if such shares are issued the company will have to report them in SEC Form D filings, which hasn't happened, yet. There cannot be such a big omission or typo mistake in the prospectus supplement of unintentionally missing out specifying the underwriter for common shares and so your speculation about that doesn't make any sense. All this conclusively proves that there has been no dilution, so far, since this offering.

Technically $1B notional of meta, if you assume a $200 strike, is 50,000 contracts. Spot notional would be 55,000 contracts. It’s doable. But a company wouldnt do that and cant do that. What most companies will do is enter into an ASR with a bank (accelerated share repurchase) which is actually vol dampening in general.

Flat-Cap9190

read feb filing. to get this 50M they have 2 condition ​ 1. pay down debt 2. authorize buy back the fact (or 90% possibility) the deal goes through is both conditions getting met; they also announce in public BB will be considered. with ASR they don't have to announce to public that they are buying, they just need to report they did. Price will spike and rally out of ideal zone if they announce in public they are buying "today".

Flat-Cap9190

Hi brother or sister, may peace be with you. Here’s my findings last 2 weeks The buyback is not “on” 32 august Same as Pipe deal language. They stated that it is “by” 31 august. There’s also no need for announcement to start doing buybacks. No need for SEC filing to start too. Apparently, There’s also something called ASR accelerated shares repurchase Buyback is most likely to the language of “increase shareholder value” and based on SEC filing in February that JS says the funding is conditional to (a) pay down debts (b) authorise share buyback So the fact the got the money is likely that is happening So there could be a chance buyback had started so they won’t squeeze the price with an announcement (which is needed to shrink the float as much as possible for “increase shareholder value”) At $5-7/share it’s approx 3-4 float to be taken out (with $25M) JS is essentially using 25M to make upwards of 100M+ with his capitalist wisdom Fair market value without squeeze is 27/share based on asset liquidation alone only. $60/share if factor in all the efforts that JS and other insiders management is doing in order for their effort to be worth it, logically. (This assessment is Per citron research’s report on APRN) Above are summary points I gathered hope it helps another beginner like me too!!!

Flat-Cap9190

According to urban myths floating around… I gathered that others have said In feb, JS says; to get my money I want 2 things happen 1. Pay down debt 2. Authorise buyback The fact they got money means they probably already have the authorised somewhere. PR announcement to protect legally still say, “not yet” But there is a chance they have started on ASR last week

Insiders are a pretty limited group of people though and those shares should already locked away from the float. If it’s the case that the shares are from some external holder like institutions, which I’m assuming it would be, then those shares would now be off the table to be used in shorting so it would still contribute to the squeeze in giving shorts less power to contain it. Either way the ASR would have a net positive in the end, it’s just a matter of when and if it’s going to happen lol. Your napkin math would apply with the open market buyback I think but I’m not sure what the terms of that would be or how long it would take…

Forward yield 3.6% Payable March 30; for shareholders of record March 16; ex-div March 15. The board approved a $3.0 billion share repurchase authorization and the Company plans to repurchase at least $1.0 billion in shares in 2022, of which $500 million is expected to be repurchased through open market transactions or an ASR program executed in Q2 2022.

And they could authorize a new ASR. They are targeting 3.0x debt to EBITDA by 2023x so if their EBITDA guidance for next year is $550m (conservative) they would be able to draw the revolver another $450-500mm to continue to buyback shares. They also have plenty of cash on the balance sheet to do this, but assuming that’s needed for net working capital swings throughout the year, it’s good to know they could support a substantial amount of debt drawdown without violating their 3.0x target. That would be the final nail in the coffin for remaining short sellers and would be hugely accretive to EPS assuming they achieve anywhere close to their 2023 EBITDA goals

spicyRengarMain

Accelerated Share Repurchase is where the dealer goes and just borrows a bunch of shares and delivers them to the grantee, then slowly buys up from the real market to avoid jumping the price. It's a way for a company to quickly buy back many shares. Once the ASR is concluded the company gets billed by the dealer. It usually causes the borrow rate to run up, and it doesn't count as a short position hence the SI% not really having gone crazy. There's a potential squeeze play if you can push the price and cause lenders to recall shares, but it's hard to trigger, and directly fucks the company because the ASR will just bill their losses to United Wholesale.

From Google: "The S-3ASR is an automatic shelf registration statement which is immediately effective upon filing for use by well-known seasoned issuers to register unspecified amounts of different specified types of securities. This Registration Statement is for the registration of securities under the Securities Act of 1933." The 43 million shares they announced and sold already were covered under shelf registration.

$DGX short squeeze candidate. Can't believe I'm saying this....short interest tripled in past week. High institutional ownership, low volume. Days to cover is now 8.5! And this is while they are doing a $1.5 billion ASR (accelerated share repurchase). Elite financials....see for yourself.

ASR is a holding company that owns airports around Cancun, so when vacation travel picks back up, they'll make money.

I am not familiar with S-3ASR filing. Is it a filing before an official shelf offering?

Thank you! That actually helps me see your side of the arguement and while I agree the December 8th S-3ASR filing could he a potential concern the subsequent 8-k filing the same day for $100 million was not viewed favorably by shareholders or the board. It is far more likely in my opinion that this filing was an unpopular move by the CFO, and coupled with his inability to shed excess lease obligations from the balance sheet that led to his eventual 'resignation'. Looking at the cited risk factors in their 8-k filing, they dont commit to actually issuing any and simply state that they will use any cash generated as basically working capital and to fund their new ecommerce pivot. Based in Ryan Cohens chewy interviews his ecommerce model is not capital intensive at all and riding the high of the new console cycle and global publicity I feel like they should generate more than enough short term capital to make this transition without needing to issue any of the shelf offing. Ryan Cohen cancelling the offering would also be a huge statement for the company, and would be hugely favored by their enormous retail shareholder base who also happen to be a large part of their customer base as well. In my opinion it just doesnt make sense for them to raise capital right now and fuck over their public image on the brink of an attempted business pivot. I think robinhood basically showed what happens when you fuck over your customers and are probably going to lose out on billions with their ipo here soon.

> So, either the CFO doesn't understand cash management, or he is a genius and he knows they will have so much cash around that the priority is to shrink shares outstanding, no matter the price because the future will be brighter (or not that worse off than it is today)... Or they had already authorized a buyback plan ages ago, did an ASR back in May after the stock tanked and it made sense to both due to the price being lower and financing costs dropping. Acquisitions and strategy changes also take time to pull off and the massive rally in tech also makes anything they purchase in that space more expensive. The bigger question is what they do when the current repurchase program ends.
