If you’re fatigued with the Magnificent Seven and their eye-watering valuations, maybe it’s time to look at some smaller market caps. Pieter Slegers, founder of Compounding Quality, is back to discuss his new investing service, Tiny Titans. By focusing on small caps, an investor can outperform the market by about 4% a year. But by combining this with some of Slegers’ “Compounding Quality” characteristics, such as positive free cash flow and high insider ownership, that outperformance can increase to 6.5%. Pieter’s goal is to achieve a yearly return of 15%, which would double your money every five years—perfect for long-term investors. Tune in to hear about the importance of a stock checklist, what he looks for in a Tiny Titan, and to get a sneak peek at a stock on his watchlist.

In 2023, you’d be hard-pressed to find a Wall Street analyst who wasn’t in love with Lululemon. The stock was a classic example of a long-term, buy-and-hold winner, with a strong brand, enviable profit margins, and plenty of expansion opportunities. However, coming into 2025, the company’s façade started to crack, with revenue growth slowing to single digits and comparable in-store sales falling. It appears the American market may be reaching saturation, with competition hot on Lulu’s heels. On top of that, tariffs are taking a healthy bite out of the bottom line, leaving its EBITDA “on the floor.” The stock is now the worst-performing name on the S&P 500 in 2025. That said, international markets—particularly in China—remain vibrant, and Lulu hopes to reinvigorate domestic sales through R&D innovation. Is the market’s pricing an overreaction, or a reasonable adjustment for a brand transitioning from growth to value? Mike also touches on Microsoft’s agreement with recent IPO Nebius, which sent the stock soaring.

This week, we bring you a debate every investor has had over the last year: Is Tesla still a buy? Mike starts off by breaking down the brand’s difficulties in Europe, with sales sliding across markets—particularly in the Nordics, Germany, and France. Some of this can be attributed to Musk’s political antics, but Mike argues that a bigger concern is the automaker’s inability to maintain its moat. Tesla faces more competition in the EV space than ever, especially from cheaper manufacturers in China, and has failed to provide either a more economical model or significant upgrades to existing tech to attract new buyers. There’s also the argument that Musk’s attention is divided between his many companies—not to mention his Twitter usage—which may have caused him to take his eye off the Tesla ball. However, Emmet takes the counterpoint and explores the importance of Tesla’s speculative tech. The brand has just begun testing its robotaxis in Texas, and if successful, it could become the cheapest autonomous provider, as it isn’t reliant on LiDAR sensors. Additionally, Musk has promised that humanoid Optimus robots will eventually account for 80% of the company’s value—but it remains very unclear when they will come to market. As any long-term Tesla investor knows, Musk has a tendency to overpromise, especially when it comes to timelines. We leave the question with you: Would you pick up Tesla shares today for the long term?

Mike and Emmet are back from Investicon with two phenomenal stock picks shared by the event’s expert panel. Mike breaks down Chapters Group (ETR: CHG), a vertical market software acquirer modeled after Constellation Software. With ~98% customer retention, ~90% gross margins, and disciplined capital allocation, the business is scaling rapidly. Though not cheap, Compounding Quality’s Pieter Slegers believes its leadership and growth outlook make it compelling. Later, Emmet covers a pick from AI investing expert Eric Bleeker: Ouster (OUST), a provider of lidar sensors essential for autonomous driving and robotics. It’s an intriguing pick-and-shovel play for the future of automation. While risky—since it could be disrupted by emerging technologies and some manufacturers (e.g., Tesla) have opted to move forward without it—lidar is still likely to enjoy a few decades of solid growth. If you’d like to get a complete list of the stocks and ideas pitched at Investicon, new Horizon subscribers get a exclusive summary when they sign-up.

Novo Nordisk faced another tough earnings season, with the stock falling 30% after it revised its growth guidance due to increased competition from Eli Lilly and the (now-illegal) compounders. This has brought the stock down to a tantalizing 12x earnings. Is this a great time to pick up shares, or are investors risking catching a falling knife? Novo is attempting to fend off the competition by launching its own direct-to-consumer Wegovy service in the United States, which will sell its drugs for $499 a month—less than half the previous cash price. Combined with a new management team, Novo has a lot of irons in the fire. Perhaps these efforts will bolster its long-term outlook. Later, Emmet discusses the impact of AI investment on the broader economy. Emerging in the midst of the 2023 market downturn, the AI race has spurred an extreme infrastructure spending boom from tech companies, especially the Magnificent Seven. They’ve pumped $151 billion into the economy so far. Is it a bubble, or the new normal in tech? Mike and Emmet also touch on Elon Musk's $30 billion pay day. Is this infamous CEO still worth the premium? Five lucky listeners can claim a complimentary ticket to Investicon when they sign up for Horizon.

This week, Mike sits down with Emma Farrelly, a Qualified Financial Adviser (QFA) and Retirement Planning Adviser (RPA) from Future Financial Planning in Dublin. Emma walks through what every twenty-something needs to know about saving for success, the risks of relying solely on property as an investment, and what auto-enrolment means for both employees and employers. She also gives her two cents on our sworn enemy — deemed disposal — and the broader Irish wealth landscape. As a newly rich country, Ireland still has a lot to learn about building generational wealth but the tide is definitely turning. If you’re Irish, you won’t want to miss this episode.

Tune in to hear his breakdown of why the U.K. stock market has fallen behind but is still a great place to find compounding stocks. Later, Clem discusses the opportunity he sees in Intel.

The IPO market has been a barren wasteland since the carefree days of 2020. But this week, we bring you an IPO that might actually be worth a look. Figma has released its hotly anticipated S-1, revealing a business firing on all cylinders—with double-digit revenue growth, a 132% net dollar retention rate, and, most notably, profitability. The company now hopes to extend its land-and-expand sales model beyond the UI/UX space, though that will introduce new competition. It’s also betting big on AI, while trying to not alienate the designers who have championed the brand, a delicate balancing act that a strong management team may just pull off. Later, Emmet explores the impact of Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ on Airbnb hosts. Thanks to new tax write-offs, becoming a short-term landlord just got a whole lot easier—and cheaper.

Anne Marie and Mike are back and they are here to pitch two big name stocks trading on the cheap. First up: Novo Nordisk. The Ozempic darling soared in 2024, but tough competition from Eli Lilly and a tumultuous relationship with Hims & Hers has left this pharmaceutical in the bin. Mike goes over its latest troubles but reminds us that it’s a market leader in a rapidly expanding market. Should you pick up this discounted giant? Tune in to hear the full pitch. Later, Anne Marie breaks down Nike. Her favorite stock for 2025, Nike is in the middle of a significant brand realignment resulting in some short-term pain. However, suffering may be coming to an end according to its latest quarterly report, and the market is beginning to warm back up to the long-suffering swoosh.

Bragging may be unbecoming, but Mike and Emmet are here to do just that. As of this week, our international portfolio, Nexus II, is outperforming the S&P 500 by 20%. While macroeconomic uncertainty reigns in the U.S., international stocks are having a strong year. To celebrate, Mike walks you through the latest addition to Nexus II: Vitec Software Group. It’s Swedish, growing rapidly, and resembles a young Constellation Software. What’s not to like? The team has also prepared a research paper on why capital is moving abroad, whether this signals the end of American exceptionalism, and how it could shape your portfolio. It’ll be hitting your inbox in this week’s Stock Club newsletter—or you can request a copy here: https://mywallst.com/the-sell-america-thesis Later, Emmet unpacks three major biotech stories from around the world, including a powerful example of CRISPR technology in action.

The stock market is buzzing with developer and product conferences, and Emmet is here to break down his favorite release. A long-standing member of the Horizon portfolio, Airbnb has announced a revival of its Experiences and Services segments. These updates target luxury consumers and aim to keep more travel transactions within the Airbnb platform. With its 15% take rate, this could strengthen Airbnb’s earnings during a period of slowing bookings caused by socioeconomic uncertainty. Later, Mike discusses CrowdStrike CEO George Kurtz. Though Kurtz has led CrowdStrike for more than a decade, he has recently been selling his stock, substantially reducing both his ownership stake and voting power. Mike explores whether this founding CEO might be planning an exit and what that could mean for CrowdStrike’s future.

Feeling investment whiplash? So are we. The market has rebounded following Trump's revised tariffs, and we're here to unpack it. While this administration has shown it doesn't mind creating chaos, it clearly keeps a close eye on the stock market. Speaking of déjà vu, Emmet analyzes the emergence of Haemanthus, a diagnostic startup from Billy Evans—partner of Elizabeth Holmes. While Holmes is the infamous, incarcerated founder of Theranos, Evans is determined to distance himself from the "Theranos 2.0" label. Later, Mike examines Google's 9% stock drop following news of declining Safari searches. With the original search engine now trading at an attractive price-to-earnings ratio, should investors consider adding it to their portfolios? Finally, Emmet explores CATL's forthcoming Hong Kong market debut. As a leading provider of lithium batteries for electric vehicles, CATL offers an intriguing entry point into the EV sector.

Piggybacking off last week’s episode, this week we bring a treat to all our Irish investors (and any investor looking for inexpensive diversification): stocks that act like ETFs. Due to deemed disposal rules and a 41% exit tax, ETFs can be frustrating for Irish investors to access so these stocks offer an easy alternative. Let’s index without indexing. Anne Marie pitches Markel Group, also known as the "Baby Berkshire", an insurance company that holds a diversified investment portfolio of large public companies, along with a venture wing focused on small- to medium-sized acquisitions. Mike pitches JAM, a JPMorgan investment trust that is treated as an individual stock in Ireland, as well as Mitsubishi Corp and Investor AB. Mitsubishi is Japan’s largest trading company, with eight distinct business divisions, while Investor AB is a Swedish holding company with a stellar investing track record and a seasoned board. Later on, Emmet delivers an excellent soliloquy on the nature of growth investing—and why he loves picking individual stocks. During the episode we reference our previous episode “Stocks to Buy During Market Volatility” which features a breakdown of Berkshire.
