Michael Burry’s Latest Portfolio Brings the FAANGS Out

On Monday, May 16, Michael Burry filed his company’s holdings report with the SEC. Relative to the previous quarter, there was significant reshuffling. While it’s rare to get an explanation of his thinking beyond an occasional tweet of warning or tweet of frustration, his quarterly positions report is worth reviewing. It lends a rare clue as to what the celebrated hedge fund manager is expecting.

Michael Burry’s thinking, reflected in Scion Asset Management’s 13F holdings (a/o March 31), are shown below. Following the holdings we offer company descriptions and some thinking related to a few of the holdings.

Why it Matters

The positions in Scions portfolio are usually few, quite deliberate, and not the result of herd thinking. During the prior quarter (Q4 2021), among the scant positions were two public prison stocks ($GEO and $CXW). While many pundits and YouTube “gurus” hazarded a guess as to what Burry may have expected to occur with crime, the positions may have had nothing to do with an expected need for jail cells. Following the stock tickers links above to the Channelchek reports discloses that public policy on for-profit prisons is in flux. The positions may have just been a play on policy direction.

Burry’s investment universe is broader than the average self-directed investor and even deeper than the average hedge fund manager. The positions report reflect just those required to be disclosed in an SEC 13F filing. With this in mind, out of the entire universe of public securities Scion could hold, there are only a dozen that Burry’s portfolio felt were worthy at the end of the first quarter. One is a Put position which effectively makes him short the stock and possibly expecting more red than green, but not necessarily.

 

 

Holdings Breakdown

Scion has a Put on Apple (AAPL) with contracts to control 206,000 shares. The portfolio is also long shares of two other megacap high-tech stocks adding to a similar notional amount. Of the three, based on price earnings ratio, Apple is by far the most expensive. Apple’s P/E is at 23.7 earnings, while Google/Alphabet (GOOGL) is trading at a much lower PE of 20.7x, and Facebook/Meta (FB) is even lower yet at 15.1x price to earnings. This AAPL Put may not be a bet against Apple as much as it is a play that FAANG stocks should trade with multiples more in-line with each other. If this is the case, he’s not looking to hit a home run, but instead looking for movement either down by Apple, or up by the two other FAANG stocks to net incremental capital gains.

Since the 4Q of 2021, he has held Bristol Myers Squibb (BMY).  Year-to-date 2022 the biopharmaceutical company is up 19% vs the S&P 500 which is down 9.8%. Discover Network C shares (DISCK) is his fourth largest by market value. The C shares of Discovery allow no voting rights. Discovery’s A shares allow one vote per share, and B shares 10 votes per share.

Moving down the list shows a very diversified portfolio of long positions including Cigna (CI) a health care insurer, Ovintiv (OVV) a Canadian based fossil fuel company trading at 8x earnings, and Nexstar Media (NXST) which is a media company that owns television broadcast networks not unlike DISCK.

Stellantis NV (STLA) is a Dutch automaker trading on the NYSE and London exchanges. It owns the Chrysler and Jeep brands as well as Alpha Romeo, Peugeot, and Maserati. STLA pays above-average annual dividends. It declared a dividend on February 25, with an ex-dividend date of April 19. The period covered in Scion’s 13F is through March 31. 

In the consumer discretionary category Scion’s portfolio held two companies month-end that stand to benefit as consumers fill their need to travel and play outdoors. Bookings.com (BKNG) which is a huge online travel website and retailer Sportsman’s Warehouse (SPWH) which is a small-cap value stock trading at only 3.75x earnings.

The last is a payment tech company called Global Payments (GPN). The company’s product line runs the full gamut of electronic merchant payment products.

 Take-Away

Dr. Michael J. Burry has an excellent record of spotting investment opportunities before the rest of the market. His picks are as disparate as the mortgage market in 2008 and GameStop (GME) in 2020.

The portfolio reported by the SEC on May 16, reflecting March 31 quarter-end holdings does not have a strong theme. The most talked-about position has been the Puts on Apple. As mentioned, that play may be more complicated and be a hedge involving other long holdings.

First quarter results reflect higher prices. Revenues in the 2022 first quarter were $14.0m versus $6.9m and our $13.4m projection. Higher revenues reflect a 15% increase in production and a 48% increase in prices ($10.03/mcf). As a result of higher prices, operating netbacks rose to $53.94/boe from $28.52/boe. This is one of the best netbacks in the industry. 

Cash flow is soaring. Funds from operations rose to $10.9m versus $4.8m. The company has been active with its cash flow increasing its capital expenditures, paying down debt, and raising the dividend. Working capital less debt switched over to a positive position a few quarters ago and is now $7.3 million. With debt levels soon to be eliminated, the stakeholder focus will soon shift to equity shareholders. We expect additional dividend increases in upcoming quarters and would not be surprised to see the company initiate a share repurchase program in 2023….

A New Credit Facility….Friday, CoreCivic reported it had entered into a New Credit Agreement effectively replacing the Company’s existing senior secured credit facilities. As of March 31st, CoreCivic had $167.5 million due April 2023 under its Term Loan A and $124 million due December 2024 under its Term Loan B outstanding under the old facility. Management indicated the possibility of repaying the Term Loan A out of existing cash once a new facility was in place.

…Equals Time for a Stock Buyback. Management has stated on numerous occasions that once a new credit facility was in place, authorization for a stock buyback program would be submitted to the Board. Given where the stock is currently trading and the strong, stable cash flow generation of the business, we believe the Board will grant such request. We believe a program in the $100 million range, or about 7.5% of the current market cap, would send a strong signal to the market….

Non deal road show highlights. This report provides highlights of a non deal road show hosted by Arthur Smith, CEO, to investors in St. Louis last week. Mr. Smith outlined the company’s dual-path of organic growth and a roll-up acquisition strategy. After completing six acquisitions in under 5 years, the company is on a path to achieve a revenue run-rate of $50 million in the medium term. 

Solid business metrics. Mr. Smith indicated a goal to achieve an organic growth rate between 5% and 10% on top of the acquisition-fueled growth. Given the low churn rate of the company’s recent acquisition targets, the overall churn rate is likely to be around a favorable 0.7% in the near term, well below larger peers that lack Digerati’s high-touch customer service. Attracting high-margin recurring revenue streams on multi-year contracts is a competitive advantage for the company….

Q1 meets expectations. The company reported Q1 revenue of $4.26 million, in line with our estimate of $4.29 million. Adj. EBITDA of $0.68 million was roughly in line with our estimate of $0.63 million. Management credited an increase in clients, as well as higher usage per client, as the catalysts for revenue growth in the quarter. Notably, the quarter reflected a significant improvement in gross margins, which were 47.5% and above our expectations of 46.5%. Management indicated that gross margins should approach 50% by year end.

A big win. During the quarter, the company signed a large Canadian bank. Revenue from the deal is not reflected in the quarter, but the revenue ramp from the new client will occur in 2022.

Outstanding Casper drill results. Garibaldi Resources released results from exploratory drill holes testing multiple mineralized veins and volcanic rocks at the Casper Quartz Vein System. Five diamond drill holes followed the first four holes for which results were released in February 2021. Eight of the nine holes have intersected significant gold mineralization, with increasing gold grades toward the southeast.

Promising Nickel Mountain target. Building on the company’s 2021 Z-Axis Tipper Electromagnetic (ZTEM) survey that encompassed Garibaldi’s 180-square kilometer Nickel Mountain – Palm Springs Project claim groups, three-dimensional processing identified several new low-resistivity ZTEM responses 5 kilometers northeast of the E&L nickel-copper-cobalt massive sulphide zone, including a new anomaly at the B1 target which has not been drill tested. The B1 target exhibited a consistent ZTEM low resistivity zone coincident with a near surface VTEM conductive anomaly. The ZTEM low resistivity zone extends to depth like the low resistivity zone beneath E&L….

NEW YORK, May 16, 2022 /CNW/ – Voyager Digital Ltd. (“Voyager” or the “Company”) (TSX: VOYG) (OTCQX: VYGVF) (FRA: UCD2) one of the fastest-growing, publicly traded cryptocurrency platforms in the United States, today announced revenue and user metrics for the fiscal 2022 third quarter ended March 31, 2022.

“With the announcement of the private placement of approximately USD$60 million, the Company has over $225 million of net liquidity, comprised of over $175 million in cash, and approximately $50 million in crypto. With the recent changes to our rewards model and actively addressing our cost structure to ensure an efficient use of capital, we are working toward a goal of returning to positive operating income, after adding back stock-based compensation, in early calendar 2023.  Ehrlich continued, “Additionally, in the quarter we successfully launched our extremely popular moon mode and on-boarded customers to the beta programs for both our debit card and desktop app. The debit card is on target and expected to be deployed to the remainder of the waitlist throughout the quarter and the desktop app is set to be expanded to a wide group of customers.”

  • Total verified users on the platform stand at 3.5 million, up 9% from 3.2 million at the quarter ended December 31, 2021.
  • Total funded accounts reached 1,190,000 as of March 31, 2022, up 11% from 1,074,000 at the quarter ended December 31, 2021.
  • Total Assets on Platform decreased to $5.8 billion from $6.0 billion at December 31, 2021.

Release – Labrador Gold Announces Early Exercise of Option to Earn 100% of the Kingsway Project



Labrador Gold Announces Early Exercise of Option to Earn 100% of the Kingsway Project

News and Market Data on Labrador Gold Corp

TORONTO, ON, May 16, 2021 – Labrador Gold Corp. (TSX.V : LAB | OTCQX:NKOSF | FNR: 2N6) (“LabGold” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has exercised its option two years early to earn 100% of the three licenses comprising the Kingsway project near Gander, Newfoundland. The Kingsway project is located in the highly prospective central Newfoundland gold belt.

The Kingsway Property is composed of three licenses 027636M and 027637M which were optioned in March 2020 and 023940M optioned in July 2020. Together these three licenses cover approximately 12km of the Appleton Fault Zone along which prospecting and drilling over the past two years by LabGold and New Found Gold has resulted in the discovery of numerous near-surface high grade gold occurrences. Given the prolific nature of this fault zone and the continued success of the Company’s exploration on the property, the Board agreed to accelerate the option payments to acquire the 100% interest.

“It is clear to us that the Kingsway Property will need sustained exploration over the long term to fully understand its potential. The success we have had in just a year and half spent working in the field speaks to the prospectivity of the Appleton Fault Zone and the remainder of the property in general,” said Roger Moss, President and CEO of Labrador Gold. “Acquiring the 100% interest in the property two years earlier than required shows the confidence we have that there is more to come from Kingsway, and we are excited to continue exploring the entire 12km strike length of the Appleton Fault Zone.”

The Company now owns a 100% undivided interest in license 023940M. 
The Company also owns a 100% undivided interest in licenses 027636M and 027637M subject to: 
A 1.0% Net Smelter Returns royalty plus $1 per ounce of gold in the measured and indicated mineral resource categories established in a National Instrument 43-101 technical report for the development of the Property.
Expenditure target payments of $750,000 for each $10 million in exploration expenditures up to $30 million.

Upcoming Webinar

Labrador Gold is also pleased to announce that President and CEO, Roger Moss, will be providing the latest update from the Kingsway project in a live webinar taking place on Monday, May 16th at 1:00PM PT/ 4:00PM ET. To register for the event please click the link below.

Qualified Person
Roger Moss, PhD., P.Geo., President and CEO of LabGold, a Qualified Person in accordance with Canadian regulatory requirements as set out in NI 43-101, has read and approved the scientific and technical information that forms the basis for the disclosure contained in this release.

The Company gratefully acknowledges the Newfoundland and Labrador Ministry of Natural Resources’ Junior Exploration Assistance (JEA) Program for its financial support for exploration of the Kingsway property.

About Labrador Gold

Labrador Gold is a Canadian based mineral exploration company focused on the acquisition and exploration of prospective gold projects in Eastern Canada.

Labrador Gold owns a 100% undivided interest in the Kingsway project in the Gander area of Newfoundland. The three licenses comprising the Kingsway project cover approximately 12km of the Appleton Fault Zone which is associated with gold occurrences in the region, including those of New Found Gold immediately to the south of Kingsway. Infrastructure in the area is excellent located just 18km from the town of Gander with road access to the project, nearby electricity and abundant local water. LabGold is drilling a projected 100,000 metres targeting high-grade epizonal gold mineralization along the Appleton Fault Zone following encouraging results including the discovery of near surface gold mineralization at three of three targets drilled to date. The Company has approximately $25 million in working capital and is well funded to carry out the planned program.  

The Hopedale property covers much of the Florence Lake greenstone belts that stretches over 60 km. The belt is typical of greenstone belts around the world but has been underexplored by comparison. Work to date by Labrador Gold show gold anomalies in rocks, soils and lake sediments over a 3 kilometre section of the northern portion of the Florence Lake greenstone belt in the vicinity of the known Thurber Dog gold showing where grab samples assayed up to 7.8g/t gold. In addition, anomalous gold in soil and lake sediment samples occur over approximately 40 km along the southern section of the greenstone belt (see news release dated January 25th 2018 for more details). Labrador Gold now controls approximately 40km strike length of the Florence Lake Greenstone Belt.

The Company has 156,740,526 common shares issued and outstanding and trades on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol LAB.

FDA Program May Help Investors Uncover Breakthrough Medical Technology


Image Credit: US Food and Drug Administration (Flickr)


FDA Breakthrough Devices Program Could Aid Investors to Find Opportunities

The FDA Breakthrough Devices Program may be a starting point for investors exploring the medical space. It’s designed to create a quicker path for medical devices that provide more effective treatment or diagnosis of life-threatening or irreversible conditions. There are significant benefits for the companies granted access to the program. Lists of devices after the companies have been granted a marketing authorization are available on the FDA
website
.

While new pharmaceuticals tend to grab headlines quicker than devices, investors looking for public companies, that may be uncorrelated to the pace of US economic growth or the financial markets, may visit the website and then research the companies on Channelchek.

Benefits of the Breakthrough Devices Program

The purpose of the Breakthrough Devices Program is to provide patients and health care providers with timely access to novel medical devices by speeding up their development, assessment, and review. At the same time, it preserves the statutory standards for premarket approval, 510(k) clearance, and De Novo marketing authorization, consistent with the Agency’s mission to protect and promote public health.

Manufacturers have the opportunity to interact with the FDA’s experts through several different program options to efficiently address issues that present themselves during the FDA premarket review phase. This feedback from the FDA helps shorten the agreement phase. The company can also expect a prioritized review of its submission. This can have the effect of speeding the product to market with less cost and fewer problems.

 

How this Works

Pulling an example from the Channelchek library of
videos
from NobleCon18, we can use Perimeter
Medical Imaging AI
(PYNKF) to understand what a candidate looks like and how it may bring value to the patient, medical provider, and possibly investors.

Perimeter is an early-stage medical device company that expects its flagship product to address unmet cancer treatment needs. Initially, the device is expected to change the way breast cancer is treated and evaluated to improve outcomes and minimize the chance of recurrence or having to reoperate. In order to apply for the FDA designation, Perimeter’s device was indicated for breast cancer. However, the applications are expected to extend well beyond and into other major cancers in the $3.7 billion total market.

This FDA designation makes for a much more clear regulatory pathway. Perimeter meets the first guideline in that its product has unique technology (breakthrough) that is solving problems with a different method on a scalable platform. The procedures are expected to reduce the cost to patients, minimize the need for repeat surgery and be self-funding from the hospitals’ standpoint. This is because about 20 to 25% of cancer patients now need to return for a re-operation that costs approximately $16,000. Hospitals that adopt the Perimeter AI technology could serve patients better and stand to recover their costs while reducing overall patient costs on average.

Take-Away

There are many ways to uncover companies that are “on the move.” Reviewing those the FDA is likely to help along toward a full “go-ahead” is just one of them. For a more detailed look at Perimeter, their unique business model,  and technology, watch the 20-minute video below. For more on understanding the FDA Breakthrough Device Program in order to uncover companies that could change medicine, go to FDA.gov .

Release – Tonix Pharmaceuticals Announces 1-for-32 Reverse Stock Split



Tonix Pharmaceuticals Announces 1-for-32 Reverse Stock Split

Research, News, and Market Data on Tonix Pharmaceuticals

CHATHAM, N.J., May 16, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holding Corp. (Nasdaq: TNXP) (Tonix or the Company), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, today announced that it will effect a 1-for-32 reverse stock split of its outstanding common stock. This will be effective for trading purposes as of the commencement of trading on May 17, 2022.

The reverse stock split was previously approved by the Board of Directors of Tonix in accordance with Nevada law, under which no stockholder approval is required, and is intended to increase the per share trading price of Tonix’s common stock to satisfy the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on The NASDAQ Capital Market (Rule 5550(a)(1)). Tonix’s common stock will continue to trade on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “TNXP” and under a new CUSIP number, 890260862. As a result of the reverse stock split, every thirty-two pre-split shares of common stock outstanding will become one share of common stock. The reverse stock split will also proportionately reduce the number of shares of authorized common stock from 1,600 million to 50 million shares. The reverse split will also apply to common stock issuable upon the exercise of Tonix’s outstanding warrants and stock options.

Tonix’s transfer agent, VStock Transfer LLC, which is also acting as the exchange agent for the reverse split, will provide instructions to shareholders regarding the process for exchanging share certificates. Any fractional shares of common stock resulting from the reverse stock split will be rounded up to the nearest whole post-split share and no shareholders will receive cash in lieu of fractional shares.
