Brazilian delivery star iFood looks like a real gem. Its high rate of growth on larger & larger numbers is wildly impressive to say the least. This is an incredible asset for $TKWY to be sitting on.
Takeaway's stake is almost certain to further appreciate over the next 2 to 3 years. The combination of a lower Takeaway share price against the rising value of iFood creates increasingly important optionality for the company.
This is to say nothing about the rest of Takeaway which even the harshest of critics would have to acknowledge is chock-full of other valuable properties.
I still believe a scaled marketplace + scaled logistics operator combination focused on delivering prepared meals in a given DMA will be a good, defensible business.
I think such operators would probably have the luxury/right to take a wait and see approach on the deliver anything/local commerce/dark store spending cycle that currently looms.

$SFIX...there were some interesting tidbits in here... open.spotify.com/episode/3dm1O5…
"...Stitch Fix has an amazing culture, there's a lot of focus on authenticity, inclusivity, kindness, it's like a pretty deeply vulnerable culture..."
"...how do we maintain the secret sauce of what has been Stitch Fix but really add to it, what we think are the behaviors and the behaviors we want our team's to live for this next phase to accelerate innovation,..."

Hawkshaw Special Situations Research by Kian Ghazi @hawkshawlp does deep dives on select equities often times on so called 'battleground' names. This past week it put out a very interesting piece on $SFIX.
I won't go into the details but the report had some very interesting work around key touch points including CACs, churn, LTVs and how direct buy + previews may improve returns on ad spend.
The company has offered some clues over the years but this report does a great job of tying everything together.

Some more thoughts on $SFIX's evolving consumer proposition and how it's army of stylists may be an increasingly valuable asset.

#StylistsAreTheNewCAC

👚👗👖➡️🎁
Stitch has approximately 6,000 stylists on the payroll which probably costs something like $150 million annually. This is a relatively large expense for the company of this size.
This investment is unique in apparel ecom and I do not believe that it is currently thought of as a strategic differentiator by the investment community.

Some more thoughts on $SFIX and its evolving consumer service - no views on the share price in the short-term.

(1/x)
Stitch Fix's current 'no look' fix business in the U.S. has grown quite large despite addressing a fairly small portion of the overall apparel market.
Not to knock the current product but it is decidedly non-traditional and has had the burden of carrying significant friction when it comes to acquiring customers.

Trying to see around the corner is never easy but the set up for gen 1 food delivery marketplaces in 2021/2022 seems pretty attractive.

The full/partial unwind of virus life behavior may make marketplace’s relative growth rates much more attractive vs the past year.
Re-urbanization and resumption of suburban pre-virus dining patterns may remind investors that marketplaces aren’t quite dead yet.

Over the years, I've been involved in some real battleground names where the debate over the company's prospects was quite intense to say the least.

With some of these companies, I, and other longs, have been opposite some highly reputable, brand name funds.
At one investor meeting many years ago, after going over a favored long at the time, I was hit with 'but so & so are short that name' to which I responded 'so what, we’re both going to be right.'
