Memory is not weakening: the ~50% fall from the June peak was a forced seller in a crowded trade, not a change in the business. What changed is the selling: on 28 July the company concluded long-term agreements with around ten customers, normally five years, carrying volume commitments and customer deposits with pricing left flexible. Contracted volume at open prices is a toll, not a commodity. Bear 820,000 / base 1,520,000 / bull 3,110,000 on multiples of pre-tax operating profit. Decisive test: do remaining performance obligations, contract liabilities and customer deposits appear in the accounts within two reporting periods.
FPSO lease-and-operate toll, not an oil bet: $31.1bn backlog to 2050, ~80% lease-and-operate at ~54% margin; the $8bn IFRS net debt is non-recourse project finance (~~Directional $3.2bn, -43% y/y~~ — that was SBM's 31 Mar 2026 figure, Q1-2026 Trading Update, correctly sourced but undated; RE-DATED 2026-09-03 at the primary: Directional **US$3,680m** at 30 Jun 2026, -35% vs FY2025 US$5,651m; IFRS US$5,922m vs US$8,068m; backlog a record **$35.6bn** vs $31.1bn; shares 166,889,767 filed, not the provider's 164.8m); ~5x fwd EV/EBITDA vs plumbers 6-15x and ~7% cash yield with a $2.1bn six-year floor (both as published 2026-07-21; re-derived 2026-09-03 on filed inputs: 5.5x Directional EV/guided FY26 EBITDA, cash return 5.5-6.9% of market cap). Underwritten over three years.
First discount to the S&P since 2008; GLP-1 fear backwards; data-moat option — restated 2026-07-27 as an option on two names (RMD, ABT), not a feature of the basket. Globus Medical (GMED) sold at the 2026-07-28 close on an FDA warning letter still open two years after issue; Medtronic RETAINED.
Almond supply cycle broken; replacement-cost floor A$3.30-3.50; buyback at the trough
41% multiple gap to the S&P closes. NOTE: this is a VALUATION-GAP trade. The savings-rotation flow thesis developed after entry points at ONSHORE A-shares/brokers; KWEB is an offshore wrapper and does not capture it mechanically.
Same as KWEB; broader wrapper. Same caveat: offshore, so the onshore savings-rotation mechanism is not directly held.
Deep-discount holding: net cash + trough ops cover the market cap 2.3x; original four-week thesis dead, scored MISS (F2)
Post-spin forced selling done; index inclusion + margin bridge to Froneri
UK market priced for a HIKE (Bank Rate 3.75%, held 7-2 on 17 Jun with 2 members voting to hike, none to cut; OIS terminal ~4.2% early-27) while the data points to cuts: private wage growth 2.9% (lowest since 2020), services CPI eased to 3.6% (Jun). Long the front end profits if the 2y yield falls. Wrong if services re-accelerates and the BoE hikes.
Uranium deficit; own the commodity at NAV, not the equities
Hormuz war premium via ton-miles; sold when the premium deflated on the US-Iran MOU
Market mispricing the 1973 stagflation map; both tails resolve into cuts
Wrong Map rates leg; mechanism updated in the Right Trade re-underwrite (v5)
