I think that stock splits don't add any value, but they do attract investor attention.
And that is why I am suggesting that as the first stock I'm talking about today.
The growth has slowed, but not to the extent that you would expect a sub-20 forward P to E for sure.
I'm contractually obligated to have at least one Brad Jacobs company, because I got to do my stick.
The one I chose is QXO, the newest one.
Jacobs, for those who don't know yet, is a serial entrepreneur behind United Rentals, United Waste, XPO,
Two of the three biggest winners in the Fortune 500 over the last decade.
QXO is a roll-up of building product distributions.
They just did their second acquisition, Kodiak, a distributor of construction supplies, lumber, windows.
If I'm honest, it's fairly valued for what it is today.
It's a $13 billion or so company.
but their plan is to get to $50 billion in sales in a year to come.
Tons of risk, very much an M&A story, but no one is better at M&A.
I like this as a growth story.
2 for me, Moderna, ticker MRNA.
Everybody wrote this stock off.
This is one stock.
This is the one time that I have been successful in averaging down.
I was a big loser on a small portion that I bought above $200 a share.
