Daniel Mahncke and Shawn O'Malley take a deep dive into DLocal (NASDAQ: DLO), the first Uruguayan unicorn and the emerging markets payment provider for companies like Amazon, Uber, Spotify, Netflix, and many more. DLocal is trading at attractive multiples while growing payment volumes at over 70% and printing cash due to high operating leverage and a high-margin business model. That cash is given back to shareholders in the form of dividends and buybacks. Daniel and Shawn discuss whether the high customer concentration and the declining take rate justify the cheap valuation or whether the market is not understanding the full potential of this emerging market jewel. In the end, Daniel values the business and decides whether DLO deserves a spot in The Intrinsic Value Portfolio.

In today's episode, Kyle Grieve and Shawn O'Malley analyze Perimeter Solutions, a niche industrial conglomerate built by Transdigm's legendary founder Nick Howley using the same playbook that turned Transdigm into a multi-decade compounder.

They break down Fairfax's insurance and non-insurance segments, its use of float, and the capital allocation moves, from acquisitions to buybacks, that have driven decades of growth.

But also whether this presents an exceptional buying opportunity at a single-digit earnings multiple and about 60% of the company's market capitalization in cash. Daniel and Shawn also discuss how the Chinese e-commerce market compares to international equivalents and what those differences mean for the profitability of the e-commerce model in general. In the end, Daniel values the business and decides whether PDD deserves a spot in The Intrinsic Value Portfolio.

Daniel Mahncke and Shawn O'Malley take a deep dive into Kaspi.kz (NASDAQ: KSPI), the Kazakhstani super-app that combines payments, e-commerce, and fintech into a single platform that most of the country uses every day. They unpack how the business actually makes its money across its three segments, why its dominance at home has been so hard for competitors to challenge, and how a company this profitable ends up trading at only around seven times earnings. Daniel and Shawn discuss the company's founders and incentive structure, its expansion into Turkey through Hepsiburada, the role of its high dividend in the investment case, and the risks that come with it – from the oil-linked currency to the governance questions raised in the Culper short report. They also walk through how Daniel values the business and whether Kaspi.kz deserves a spot in The Intrinsic Value Portfolio. IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN: (00:00:00) Intro (00:00:36) How Kaspi became Kazakhstan's No.1 superapp (00:15:45) What business units Kaspi operates (00:33:49) What role the fintech business plays (00:36:07) How the marketplace differs from Mercado Libre and Shopee (00:43:34) What the competitive environment in Kazakhstan looks like (00:51:11) What the Turkey expansion means for the business (01:18:26) Valuation discussion of Kaspi (01:21:59) Whether Kaspi is valued attractively (01:25:24) Whether Shawn and Daniel add KSPI to the Intrinsic Value Portfolio Disclaimer: Slight discrepancies in the timestamps may occur due to podcast platform differences.

In this episode, you'll learn how RH was able to reinvent itself as a high-end furniture retailer, using opulent galleries, high-end dining, private yachts, and a membership model based on Amazon Prime and Costco.

Daniel Mahncke and Shawn O'Malley take a deep dive into Auto1 Group (ETR: AG1), the Berlin-based used-car platform. What trips most investors up about Auto1 is that it's two different businesses in one – a capital-light merchant marketplace on one side, a capital-heavy consumer retail bet on the other – and the asset-heavy model that everyone points to as the risk is arguably the same thing that kept Auto1 alive while better-funded competitors went bankrupt. The market tends to fixate on the inventory sitting on Auto1's books and misses that the two halves of the business earn their returns in entirely different ways. Daniel and Shawn walk through how the thin margins on each car turn into something far more attractive once you account for how fast Auto1 cycles its inventory, and why none of it works without the funding structure underneath: a non-recourse ABS architecture that lets Auto1 carry enormous inventory without raising equity to match. That's the piece capital-light rivals skipped, and a large part of why they didn't survive. Daniel and Shawn examine whether Auto1's instant-guaranteed-pricing model is a genuine consumer moat or a balance-sheet liability in disguise, what the economics actually look like in 2026 once you separate the merchant flywheel from the retail build-out, and the more uncomfortable side of the bull case – that net income can read positive while cumulative free cash flow stays deeply negative when new debt is funding operations. They also assess whether Auto1 Group deserves a spot in The Intrinsic Value Portfolio. IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN: (00:00:00) Intro (00:00:31) Why the traditional used-car market doesn't work well (00:07:42) About the size of the used-car market (00:10:32) How Auto1's business model works (00:13:58) Who Auto1's founders are (00:19:43) How Auto1 buys and sells cars (00:32:20) How the unit economics work (00:54:25) Valuation discussion of AG1 (00:58:08) Whether Auto1 is valued attractively (01:00:14) Whether Shawn and Daniel add AG1 to the Intrinsic Value Portfolio Disclaimer: Slight discrepancies in the timestamps may occur due to podcast platform differences.

Daniel Mahncke and Shawn O'Malley take a deep dive into Copa Holdings — the Panama-based hub-and-spoke airline whose investment case now turns on two of the most debated questions in the stock today: whether Copa is a structural exception to the airline curse — protected by a geography no rival can copy and a cost base only a handful of carriers in the world can match — or whether even the best airline in the Americas eventually gets pulled into the same gravity that has destroyed value for nearly every other carrier. Some investors believe Copa is a structural exception the market consistently underprices because it's lumped in with the broader sector, with a Panama hub at the geographic center of the hemisphere that lets it serve 85 destinations using nothing but single-aisle 737s, a sub-6¢ ex-fuel cost base only Ryanair, Wizz Air, and a couple of others can match, a 99.8% completion rate that turns the "missed flight" tax hammering other carriers into one of Copa's structural cost advantages, and a 38-year CEO who has refused to expand into Europe or chase growth at any price. Join Daniel Mahncke and Shawn O'Malley as they work through whether Copa's hub-and-spoke economics are genuinely uncopiable or just holding off the gravity that has eventually captured nearly every other airline, examine what Copa's structural advantages actually look like in 2026 versus the "all airlines destroy capital" narrative the market still anchors to, and assess whether Copa Holdings deserves a spot in The Intrinsic Value Portfolio. IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN: (00:00:00) Intro (00:00:47) Why airlines are such a tough business to be in (00:02:49) What Buffett and other superinvestors think (00:16:05) Why Copa is different than other airlines (00:30:41) How being the best-in-class business can change the investors' outcome (00:36:37) How Copa built its moat (00:55:35) How Copa can defend its moat (01:17:25) Valuation discussion of Copa (01:19:47) Whether Copa is valued attractively (01:22:31) Whether Shawn and Daniel add CPA to the Intrinsic Value Portfolio Disclaimer: Slight discrepancies in the timestamps may occur due to podcast platform differences.
