Coverage

Equity research, in progress and shipped.

Single-name pitches and methodology artifacts across semis and AI (Micron, NVDA, AMD), energy (XOM, CVX), and the commodities + macro layer that drives them. Each entry below links to the full work where it exists, or sketches the thesis where it's still being built.

Shipped

IB-grade LBO & M&A Template Live

May 2026 · Methodology artifact · Open page →

17-tab Excel workbook shipped as two worked Micron scorecards (through-cycle + AI-cycle) so methodology disagreement is explicit. Sources & uses, year-by-year debt schedule with covenant tracking, sponsor returns attribution (EBITDA growth / multiple expansion / debt paydown), reverse-LBO take-private analysis, reverse-DCF decomposition, peer-blended comps with percentile bands, accretion/dilution under three financing mixes, full 3-statement projection with balance-sheet plug, sanity-check auto-flags. Python pipeline available on request.

IB-grade DCF Template Live

Apr 2026 · Methodology artifact · Open page →

20-tab Excel workbook with a worked Micron example: two-stage FCFF DCF, peer-blended multiples, three scenarios with cycle-aware paths, reverse-DCF decomposition, sensitivity tables. The Python pipeline that auto-populates this for any ticker is available on request. Built around an IB-grade research methodology, audited end-to-end to sell-side IC standards.

MU — Through-cycle long Live

May 2026 · Memory / semiconductors · Single-name pitch · Open page →

Through-cycle thesis on Micron Technology against a cyclical comparable. HBM contribution to the next cycle peak, mid-cycle EBIT margin normalisation, what today's price implicitly requires via reverse-DCF, and the bear-case kill shot for anyone underweighting the name. Workbook + write-up live.

Forthcoming

Integrated oil — capital-allocation tier list Forthcoming

Target: Q2 2026 · Energy · Cross-section

XOM, CVX, COP, SHEL, BP ranked on through-cycle capital allocation discipline: CapEx versus operating cash flow, buyback cadence, debt paydown, project IRRs against the commodity strip. The thesis: at this point in the cycle, the price/book versus ROCE spread tells you who is still being rewarded for promises and who has actually earned it.

Sector scorecards Ongoing

Internal tooling · Ships with the DCF pipeline

Per-sector sets of through-cycle factors — mid-cycle CapEx %, NWC %, EBIT margin floor and ceiling — calibrated to historical full cycles. Plugs into the DCF pipeline as the default for any ticker in that sector. Memory, energy, and autos are calibrated. Software and industrials are next.

How I work

Every published pitch ships with the workbook that produced it. Every assumption is named; every fallback is transparent. Where the data is absent — a private name, a missing fiscal year, a peer with a non-comparable accounting policy — the model says "N/A" instead of silently filling in a magic number. This is the bar I hold every piece I publish to.
