Waste Management Stock: A Stable Compounder at a Premium Valuation
There’s a certain appeal to simplicity in investing, specifically, in businesses that do not need constant reinvention to stay relevant. Waste Management (WM) is that kind of business. While the market seems fixated on growth-at-all-costs technology, I’ve been spending time on companies where long-term value is driven by wide moats and necessity. WM does not […]
PG Stock Analysis: Buy This Stalwart On Pullbacks
Procter & Gamble (PG) is the quintessential stalwart compounder. It’s a name synonymous with consistency. It’s not flashy, but it’s dependable, delivering low to mid-single-digit revenue growth, expanding margins, and steady free cash flow year after year. So when shares dipped more than 5% after Q3 2025 earnings, I used it as a buying opportunity. […]
Tetra Tech 2025 Outlook: A Look at Valuation & Investment Risks
When I first wrote about Tetra Tech (TTEK) in January 2025 I urged cautious optimism. That caution has proved warranted. Upon taking office, the new administration issued a 90‑day freeze on nearly every USAID task order. As expected, this had a meaningful impact on Tetra as management pulled roughly $400 million of revenue and $0.05‑0.10 […]
Disney Stock Under $85: Value Play or Risky Bet?
Disney (DIS) is trading below $85 per share, nearly 30% off its 52-week high. This level echoes the darkest days of COVID, when the company’s business faced an existential crisis. Today’s sell-off isn’t about collapse. It’s about discomfort. Geopolitical friction, a softening consumer, and years of underperformance have worn down investor confidence. But sometimes the […]
Vertiv Stock: AI Infrastructure Play at a Reasonable Price
As an investor, I gravitate toward quality compounders. These are generally asset light companies with wide economic moats, predictable revenue, high margins and a history of growing earnings and free cash flow. This is underpinned by high returns on invested capital (ROIC). Think Visa’s network effects or Microsoft’s entrenched software ecosystem. Vertiv Holdings Co. (VRT) […]
Magnificent 7: Which Stocks Offer the Best Value Post-Pullback?
The Magnificent 7—Microsoft, Apple, Alphabet, Nvidia, Amazon, Tesla, and Meta—have driven the market higher for years now. These companies aren’t just riding the waves of trends like AI, cloud computing, and electric vehicles; they are shaping them. Their dominance has propelled stock indices to new heights. But it is their quality that has made them […]
Why Costco’s Stock Defies Valuation Logic
Costco Wholesale (COST) has been one of the stock market’s biggest success stories. Over the past five years, its stock has surged nearly 240%, including a 50% gain in the last year alone. Investors are enamored with Costco’s predictable business model, which is built on membership-driven recurring revenue, cost efficiency, and impressive customer loyalty rate. […]
Netflix’s Strengths Shine, but Valuation Warrants Caution
With 278 million paid subscribers globally, Netflix has cemented itself as the leader in streaming. Over the years, Netflix has managed to figure out the economics of streaming, turning a capital-intensive endeavor into a profitable and efficient business. It has grown into the type of business I look for; one with a predictable revenue stream, […]

Three High-Quality Stocks on My Shopping List
Some investors buy stocks at their all-time highs, depending on the market’s confirmation of a company’s performance. Many times, however, those prices come with elevated valuations. I prefer to shop a bit smarter, waiting for high-quality companies to go “on sale”, or at least closer to a reasonable price. Markets often pullback due to an […]
