Airbus

The Vietnamese low-cost airline Vietjet, a popular low-cost airline, has ordered 20 new A330neo aircraft from Hamburg-based aircraft manufacturer Airbus. The airline plans to use these aircraft to expand its fleet and extend its network, particularly in Southeast Asia and towards Europe, according to the Hamburger Abendblatt. MTU, an important supplier for Airbus, is also involved in this deal as they are involved in the development and manufacture of the aircraft engines.

The order for the A330neo aircraft by Vietjet is a significant order for Airbus and underlines the demand for efficient and low-emission aircraft in the low-cost airline market. The A330neo offers greater range and efficiency compared to older models, which will be beneficial for Vietjet as it expands its network. Vietjet's choice of the A330neo also demonstrates confidence in Airbus' technology and reliability, according to the Hamburger Abendblatt.

It would be interesting to know when delivery is planned. I believe that the order books at $AIR are full for the next 10 years.

My investable universe

When I‘m screening markets for my investable universe I look for high-quality compounders with:

Strong and consistent capital returns (ROCE)
High and stable profitability (gross, operating, and FCF margins)
Steady revenue growth over time
Large market capitalization (mature, established companies)

In detail I’m screening for:

Market Cap: at least $ 10B
ROCE 3-Year Avg: ≥ 25%
ROCE 10-Year Avg: ≥ 25%
Gross Margin 3-Year Avg: ≥ 50%
FCF Margin 3-Year Avg: ≥ 20%
Operating Margin 10-Year Avg: ≥ 25%
Revenue per share CAGR 3-Year: ≥ 5%
Revenue per share CAGR 10-Year: ≥ 5%
FCF per share CAGR 3-Year: ≥ 10%
FCF per share CAGR 10-Year: ≥ 10%
Consistency/stability of earnings (from max. 1.0): ≥ 0.8
No more than 75% revenue exposure to one single country/market (eg. USA)

My Portfolio

Today I‘m sharing with you my main portfolio. This doesn’t include any ETF investments and crypto currencies / gold etc. since I want to focus my presence on getquin on stock-picking.

Read my 3-part portfolio strategy posts to get the full picture - here are just the main pillars of what I‘m doing:

Long-term buy and hold (average holding time 5+ years at least)
Focus on high-ROIC compounders riding secular trends (top-tier capital efficiency)
High margins, strong FCF growth, large moats (7 powers strategy)
Holding not more than 20 stocks at a time while mainly focusing on US and EU based companies

I like to divide my holdings into „core holdings“ (forever stocks) and „trend picks“ (2030 stocks) as follows:

My portfolio strategy (part 3)

I use the 7 Powers framework from the book “7 Powers: The Foundations of Business Strategy” by Hamilton Helmer. It’s a killer framework for understanding why some businesses create lasting value and compound returns over time.

Each “Power” is a sustainable strategic advantage that lets a company generate outsized returns for a long time. I ask the 7 questions for each stock I am considering to buy.

1. Counter-Positioning

What it is: A new entrant adopts a superior business model that incumbents can’t copy without damaging their own biz.
Example: Netflix vs. Blockbuster. Blockbuster couldn’t move to streaming without killing its DVD revenue.
Why it matters: Creates asymmetric pressure; the old guard is paralyzed.

2. Scale Economies

What it is: Unit costs drop as volume increases.
Example: Amazon, Costco. Bigger = cheaper = stronger moat.
Why it matters: Hard to compete if you can’t match their cost base.

3. Switching Costs

What it is: Customers stick around because switching is painful.
Example: Adobe Creative Cloud, Microsoft Office, Salesforce.
Why it matters: High retention = stable cash flows = compounding machine.

4. Network Effects

What it is: The product gets better as more people use it.
Example: Meta, Visa, LinkedIn.
Why it matters: Leads to dominance, creates a feedback loop of growth.

5. Branding

What it is: Emotional or symbolic value, not just functional.
Example: L’Oréal, Hermès, Apple.
Why it matters: Lets companies charge premium prices and keeps customers loyal even if alternatives exist.

6. Cornered Resource

What it is: Exclusive access to a critical asset — talent, IP, data, supply.
Example: ASML (EUV tech), Novo Nordisk (Ozempic IP), Ferrari (brand + heritage + team).
Why it matters: If no one else can get it, you win.

7. Process Power

What it is: Unique internal processes that drive efficiency, innovation, or quality — and are hard to copy.
Example: Toyota (lean manufacturing), Amazon (logistics, culture of innovation).
Why it matters: Long-lasting edge baked into the org’s DNA.

If I had to chose one, Network effects would be the most important one for me.

How I invest €20,000 now - My strategy in May 2025

I have decided to reinvest €20,000 and am focusing on a mix of growth and quality stocks with a long-term perspective. Here is my allocation:

5,000 € - Jumia $JMIA (+4.58%)

Africa's leading e-commerce player is currently heavily undervalued. The company has lowered its cost base, operates more efficiently and will benefit from the growing internet and mobile payment market in Africa in the long term. For me, a speculative but promising small cap with a 5-10 year horizon.

7,500 € - AMD $AMD (+2.15%)

AMD continues to impress with its strong product portfolio, particularly in the areas of AI, server CPUs and gaming. The valuation is much more favorable compared to Nvidia, with a high level of innovation at the same time. I see great potential here for the coming years, especially in the data center and AI segment.

2.500 € - PayPal $PYPL (+1.71%)

Despite a weak share price performance in recent years, PayPal remains a strong player in the payment sector. The company is highly profitable, generates strong cash flow and could switch back into growth mode with the right strategic decisions. For me, it is a turnaround candidate with potential.

5,000 € - Airbus $AIR (+0.04%)

Airbus is benefiting from global aviation growth in the long term. The order books are full and the Group is well positioned both technologically and geopolitically. In times of uncertainty and the re-industrialization of Europe, I see this as a solid industrial stock with a stable tailwind.

Conclusion:

I deliberately combine growth stocks (Jumia, AMD) with established quality companies (Airbus, PayPal). The focus is on long-term potential - I accept fluctuations. Time in the market beats timing the market.

What do you think - would you weight differently or do you have a position in one of these stocks yourself?

First of all: I am invested in AMD myself. AMD only has a small moat. The network effects are also limited. The bet is basically that the number 2 in the data center & AI sector will experience similar growth to Nvidia in this wave of AI demand and will achieve significantly higher share price gains due to a smaller market cap. This basically means a kind of value play. Multiple expansion with continued 25%+ growth is the hypothesis. The only concern I would have here is that AMD is also clearly behind Nvidia in robotics, in addition to China's already established players. Perhaps ASML or TSM would be the better play in terms of market technology?
