As a connoisseur of children's programming, I was shocked to learn how many brands and titles these guys own.

 

I'm in WLDBF too, was gonna see if there was a thread and if not start one when I get time.

They own 80% of Peanuts among others and have a really interesting vertical integration from content development through consumer products sales.

 

Yep .. a really compelling monetisation story backed by strong execution (former Marvel executive), solid cash flows, really attractive multiple and lots of great kids content that is in demand by Netflix, DreamWorks and AppleTV+ besides one of the largest presence on YT. And a tight float to boot.

 

I like the runway here for sure. Kids content much better for product sales. Their YouTube channels do insane numbers. I like the CEO's focus on quality over quantity for new content creation.

 

Do you guys know where I can find a write-up or can you start a thread on the company? Always interested in Canadian small-caps. Thanks!

 

Not a writeup, but Andrew Walker's podcast with Joe Boskovich on Wildbrain may be useful: https://yetanothervalueblog.com/podcast

BABA - $255

 

More BABA - $239

 

They are certainly under some scrutiny. Jack Ma's pseudo fall-from-grace, the regulatory probe, Ant's shelved listing, etc.

 

Is the thesis here a generic mean reversion? E.g. Competition is overblown, the underlying business can continue to generate meaningful profits, the regulatory/news-driven "cloud" will one day lift, etc.?

Yeah, good questions.  Basically, you are paying a fair price for a great business with a large moat. Not a cigar butt price, but a

troubled price vs the opportunity.

 

Still growing at a 30%+ clip, with tentacles in so many lines of business and countries in the Far East, let alone China.

You can look at it on PE basis - PEG below 1.

 

Regarding regulations, China, and Jack Ma - this will never be a Berkshire size position for me (20%+) - but 1-5%, I'm ok with.

But you're certainly hitting on why BABA is discounted.

 

If the price continues to fall, I'll keep adding up to 4-5%. It's a great dominant business.

 

The thesis would be the bad news will subside, now that Jack has been slapped around, and the price will eventually reflect the revenue growth rate.
