How I Think

Investment approach

Good investing starts with understanding what the market is already pricing in — not what you believe the story is. I start every analysis by asking: what is the market implying, and why is that wrong?

On NuScale, a reverse DCF revealed the market was pricing 45.2% pipeline conversion — a precise number I could then dispute using stage-gate close rates. On ULTA, Placer.ai traffic showed share gains months before they appeared in same-store sales. The edge is always in finding the data that leads consensus, not mirrors it.
