Fat pitch of the day opus

IT Gartner

Priced for near-zero growth; buybacks plus a durable brand likely beat that, though AI clouds the moat.

Owner-earnings value$231.17
Price$185.73
Margin of safety +24.5%

Gartner sells annual subscriptions to its research and advisory service to IT, finance, HR and other executives; this segment is about 80% of revenue and renews at high rates. It also runs paid-attendance and exhibitor conferences and a smaller consulting arm. The model is capital-light: clients pay upfront, so working capital is negative and free cash flow runs well above net income.

LULU HOLD

Lululemon Athletica · apparel

wonderful · 95 ▟ narrow moat
Value$141.64
Price$100.58
MoS +40.8%

Great economics and a fading-fashion risk; the price assumes decline, so modest growth still clears the bar.

MPC HOLD

Marathon Petroleum · energy

good · 75 ▟ narrow moat
Value$462.26
Price$389.44
MoS +18.7%

Best-run refiner in a shrinking commodity industry; buybacks beat the -3% implied, but no forever moat.

RMD HOLD

ResMed| · healthcare

wonderful · 93 ▟ wide moat
Value$245.99
Price$222.10
MoS +10.8%

Wide-moat sleep-apnea duopolist priced for 6% growth; underdiagnosis supports ~7-8% even after the GLP-1 overhang.

EXPE HOLD

Expedia Group · retail

wonderful · 86 ▟ narrow moat
Value$280.22
Price$264.23
MoS +6.1%

Cash-gushing, shrinking share count, but a second-place player; 6% barely beats the 5% already priced.

UPS HOLD

United Parcel Service · industrial

good · 72 ▟ narrow moat
Value$87.99
Price$94.25
MoS -6.6%

Irreplaceable network, but a shrinking, union-heavy, Amazon-pressured duopolist; the price needs more growth than it delivers.
