Company. Airbnb: Becoming a Verb

In this Company episode of The Synopsis we draw on our 108-page research report on Airbnb; the company that pioneered the sharing economy and become a Silicon Valley poster child for what a succesful start-up can become.  Having started as a means to pay rent, Airbnb quickly turned into one of the world's largest accommodations provider. In a matter of just a decade, Airbnb was able to host more guests than Hilton could in 100 years. However, despite their large impact in how tens of millions of people traveled and millions more monetized  their unused properties, they struggled for years to turn a profit. That is until founder Brian Chesky decided to do something drastic and reshape the business—in the midst of Covid no less. In the matter of just a few years he took the business from losing $4bn a year to generating $3bn annually in free cash flow. With Airbnb having a firm grasp on the Alternative Accommodations segment, they are preparing to enter into new businesses and new verticals. Tune in for all of this and more!  Learn more about our 108-page report here.  For full access to all of our in-depth research reports, become a Speedwell Member here.  If you need help getting Speedwell Research to become an approved research vendor, so you can expense your subscription, please email info@speedwellresearch.com  *~*~*~* Mentioned Speedwell Memos:  Minimum Viable Products versus Maximum Possible Products Introducing the Piton Network Concept -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- Show Notes (0:00) — Airbnb Intro Section 1: Business History (5:33) — From RISD to SF (19:05) — Cereal Boxes, Y Combinator (34:12) — Early Airbnb Experience, Competitors, International (43:10) — First Disaster (47:21) — Toshi Hotels, Regulation  (52:50) — Covid, Pulling the IPO (1:01:50) — IPO *~*~* Section 2: Industry and TAM (1:05:27) — Business, How do they Make Money?

Interview with Ian Cockerill, CEO of Endeavour Mining PLCOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/endeavour-mining-tsxedv-expanding-margins-and-quality-growth-4531Recording date: 7th May 2025Endeavour Mining, one of West Africa's premier gold producers, is reporting exceptional performance under CEO Ian Cockerill, who took the helm in January 2024. The company generated $411 million in free cash flow in Q1 2025, marking its fifth consecutive quarter of improved results.Cockerill has implemented a streamlined "4E" strategy—Employees, Excellence, Exploration, and Expansion—focusing on operational efficiency and disciplined cost management. Despite industry-wide inflation, Endeavour has maintained stable costs over six quarters through initiatives like centralized procurement.The company offers investors a rare combination of high yield and substantial growth potential. With a dividend yield of approximately 6% and planned production growth of 30-35% by 2030, Endeavour appeals to both income-focused and growth-oriented investors. In 2024, the company returned $277 million to shareholders and has already guaranteed a $225 million dividend for 2025, with additional share buybacks expected.Driving Endeavour's growth strategy is the Assafou project in Côte d'Ivoire, described as "the best discovery in West Africa over the last decade." This tier-one asset holds 4.3 million ounces in reserves with a 15-year mine life and is expected to produce over 350,000 ounces annually at an all-in sustaining cost below $1,000 per ounce.Exploration remains central to the company's approach, having discovered nearly 20 million ounces in the past eight years at under $25 per ounce. Current production stands at approximately 1.2 million ounces annually from five mines across three West African jurisdictions, with plans to reach 1.5 million ounces per year by 2030.While acknowledging perceived risks in West Africa, Cockerill emphasizes Endeavour's long-standing local relationships and operational stability. The company's valuation gap has been narrowing since Q4 2024 as market confidence grows in both its current performance and future prospects.View Endeavour Mining's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/endeavour-miningSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Endeavour Mining PLC (LSE:EDV, TSX:EDV, OTCQX:EDVMF) vice president of Investor Relations Jack Garman talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's robust first-quarter performance and the outlook for its organic growth pipeline. Garman highlighted that Endeavour Mining delivered approximately 30% of its full-year gold production guidance in Q1 2025 alone, supported by lower-than-expected sustaining costs. This, alongside a buoyant gold price, allowed the company to generate record free cash flow of $409 million, equivalent to around $1,200 per ounce. He confirmed that Endeavour Mining is prioritising free cash flow generation, particularly after completing its recent growth phase. “Our view fundamentally, is (that) the best way to maximise free cash flow generation is by keeping our costs down,” Garman noted. The company also reduced net debt by $354 million in the quarter, bringing leverage down to 0.22x net debt to adjusted EBITDA. Shareholder returns have increased, with $40 million in share buybacks and a $225 million minimum dividend commitment in 2025. Garman provided updates on the Assafou project, calling it a “tier one project” with a defined 4.5 million ounce resource and a projected annual output of 330,000 ounces at below $900/oz sustaining cost for the first ten years. A definitive feasibility study is expected by early 2026, with construction potentially starting in H2 2026 and first production by H2 2028. He added that Endeavour Mining sees no immediate need for mergers or acquisitions, as its pipeline provides enough visibility to grow production by 35% to over 1.5 million ounces annually by decade's end.

DEUTZ AG Q1 2025: Key TakeawaysPresented by IR Mark SchneiderIn this concise and data-rich quarterly update, Mark Schneider, Head of Investor Relations of DEUTZ AG, presents the key financial highlights and operational performance for Q1 2025, offering insights into how the company maintains momentum amid ongoing macroeconomic volatility.Stable Start to 2025DEUTZ AG, a leading manufacturer of innovative drive systems, commenced 2025 with a robust and stable first quarter, bolstered by the strength of its service business and operational discipline. This positive start sets a promising tone for the rest of the year.Q1 Revenue and Order IntakeThe company posted revenue of €474.3 million, representing a slight decline of 3.8% year-on-year, largely attributable to a normalization in engine demand following an exceptionally strong prior-year period. However, the impact was partially offset by ongoing growth in the service segment, which remains a strategic priority for DEUTZ and continues to deliver attractive margins.Despite the slight dip in new orders, which came in at €465.1 million, DEUTZ remains steadfast in its full-year outlook. The company's healthy order backlog and sustained demand in key regions instil confidence in its ability to weather market fluctuations and maintain its growth trajectory.Free Cash Flow and Operational EfficiencyOne of the quarter's standout achievements is the significant improvement in free cash flow, which rose to €27.3 million, compared to a negative figure in the same quarter last year. This reflects tighter working capital management, optimized inventory levels, and prudent capital expenditures.Profitability and EBIT MarginIn terms of profitability, DEUTZ reported an EBIT margin before exceptional items of 4.8%, slightly below the 5.0% seen in Q1 2024. This was mainly due to shifts in the product mix and volume effects. IR Mark Schneider emphasizes that this is well within expectations and consistent with seasonal trends in the company's order intake and production cycles.Dual Transformation StrategyDEUTZ continues to invest in its dual transformation strategy:Drive diversification, focusing strongly on alternative powertrains, including hydrogen and electric solutions.Service expansion aimed at building a more resilient and margin-rich revenue base.2025 Guidance and Strategic OutlookCFO Schneider reaffirms DEUTZ's commitment to achieving its 2025 guidance, which includes:Stable revenue in the range of €1.8 to €1.9 billionAn EBIT margin of at least 5% before exceptional itemsPositive free cash flow for the full yearHe also highlights that DEUTZ is well-positioned to navigate inflationary pressures and supply chain risks, thanks to its global supplier network and continuous improvement in operational processes.Conclusion: Operational Resilience and Strategic ExecutionIn closing, Mark Schneider reiterates that Q1 2025 performance reflects operational resilience, strategic focus, and a balanced approach to growth and cost control. As DEUTZ continues its transformation journey, it remains on track to deliver sustainable value for shareholders, customers, and employees.▶️ Other videos:Elevator Pitch: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-elevator-pitch/Company Presentation: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-company-presentation/Deep Dive Presentation: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-deep-dive/Financial Results Presentation: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-financial-results/ESG Presentation: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-esg/T&CThis publication is intended solely for informational purposes and does not constitute investment advice.

On this Company episode of The Synopsis we draw on our 75-page research report on Axon Enterprises, a leading law enforcement technology provider, for a very in-depth break down of the company. Founder Rick Smith took a failed concept—the TASER—and not only created a succesful business around it, but made it become a mainstay of policing. Not content to just reinvent how policing worked in the field, Axon pushed into other critical areas of law enforcement like officer video, cloud-based data management, and vertical software. A 1,000x return since going public in 2001, Axon is one of the highest returning stocks of all time.

Free cash flow is a key metric in value investing. It provides a more reliable view of a company's financial health than its earnings, which can be influenced by creative accounting. By focusing on free cash flow, investors can identify financially solid companies with long-term potential and reduce reliance on speculation.

Today we are covering the world of fast fashion. If you don't know the name Inditex, you certainly know Zara, the core business inside Inditex. My guest, Alistair Wittet, recently launched Aecus Partners, an equity boutique specializing in European and global equities, and has followed Inditex for decades.  He gets into how the company pivoted its business over the years from the initial store expansion, the e-commerce evolution, and what has allowed Inditex to succeed where other fast fashion peers have struggled. There are so many interesting themes here: success in no-growth industries, the power of thoughtful vertical integration, decentralized decision-making, and corporate pivots. Please enjoy this Breakdown of Inditex.

A Bond Account is a self-directed brokerage account with Public Investing, member FINRA/SIPC. Deposits into this account are used to purchase 10 investment-grade and high-yield bonds. The [6.7%] yield is the average annualized yield to maturity (YTM) across all ten bonds in the Bond Account, before fees, as of [9/05/2024]. A bond's yield is a function of its market price, which can fluctuate; therefore a bond's YTM is “locked in” when the bond is purchased. Your yield at time of purchase may be different from the yield shown here. The “locked in” YTM is not guaranteed; you may receive less than the YTM of the bonds in the Bond Account if you sell any of the bonds before maturity, or if the issuer calls or defaults on the bond. Public Investing charges a markup on each bond trade. See our Fee Schedule. Bond Accounts are not recommendations of individual bonds or default allocations. The bonds in the Bond Account have not been selected based on your needs or risk profile. You should evaluate each bond before investing in a Bond Account. The bonds in your Bond Account will not be rebalanced and allocations will not be updated, except for Corporate Actions. – This episode is brought to you by Ridgeline.

The unique combination of size and grade enables a low-capex, high-margin operation, with initial capex estimated at just $230 million and life-of-mine all-in sustaining costs (AISC) at $807 per ounce.The PEA outlines robust project economics including an average annual production of 124,000 ounces of gold for years 1-5 of a 10 year life of mine. At $2,000 gold, the after-tax IRR is 40.2% with a quick 1.8 year payback. The project boasts a $133 million in average annual free cash flow, or $1.33 billion over the life of mine.While the PEA is already attractive, Amex sees potential to further enhance economics through near-term exploration. The deposit remains open in all directions and Amex plans to ramp up drilling in 2025 to grow the resource, targeting areas within the current resource that have seen limited drilling to date. CEO Victor Cantore believes this offers the best return for shareholders, stating he "would love to put out a new PEA and resource in late 2025" and that he'd "rather spend $6-7 million finding new zones, finding another high grade zone" as that's "how you're enhancing value for shareholders."In parallel, Amex is advancing permitting and environmental baseline work to further de-risk the project. The permitting process in Quebec typically takes 2-3 years, putting Amex on track for a production decision by late 2025.With its high-grade resource, robust economics, exploration upside, and visibility to production, Amex stands out in a market where profitable ounces are increasingly scarce. The Abitibi region's world-class infrastructure, skilled labor, and low-cost renewable power further strengthen the investment case. As gold miners contend with rising costs and grades, Amex is well-positioned to attract investor interest and surface shareholder value.View Amex Exploration's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/amex-explorationSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Today we are breaking down the paint giant Sherwin-Williams. Founded in 1866, Sherwin Williams is a great example of a company where everyday consumers might not appreciate just how great of a business and stock this has been. Over the last 20 years, Sherwin has compounded earnings at 14% per year. And over those 20 years, the stock has returned 26x your investment. And that's compared to the S&P at 5x your investment. This has been an incredible quiet compounder.  My guest today is Todd Bassnight, director of equity research at Aureus Asset Management. We discuss the business's vertically integrated model, the focus on a particular customer base, a management team that's been thoughtful about capital allocation, and some of its big deals historically. Please enjoy this Breakdown on Sherwin-Williams.

5-mal 5% Dividenden – u.a. mit einem der zuverlässigsten Zahler Deutschlands: Die Allianz hat ihre Ausschüttung seit der Finanzkrise nie gesenkt, im Durchschnitt der letzten zehn Jahre sogar zweistellig angehoben und ist nach wie vor günstig bewertet. Dazu drei internationale Dividenden-Dickschiffe: Ein Pharma-Gigant, der mit milliardenschweren Übernahmen den nahenden Patent-Ablauf seiner Blockbuster-Wirkstoffe kompensieren will. Einer der weltgrößten Chemie-Konzerne, der trotz seines hochzyklischen Geschäfts seit zwölf Jahren steigende Dividenden zahlt, die durch Free Cash Flow gedeckt sind. Und ein britischer Vermögensverwalter, dessen Aktionäre von immens teuren Investment-Produkten profitieren. Außerdem die Porsche Automobil Holding, die nach dem anhaltenden Kursdebakel auf Basis der zuletzt gezahlten Dividende nun auf über 6% Rendite kommt – für Tobias Kramer und Christian W.
