After my first post on humanoid robots received a lot of positive feedback, I went into more detail. I have subsequently added my favorites in each sector.

Extended analysis of the value chain including shovel manufacturers and potential hidden champions

New categorySecondary key sectors (sales, marketing, financing)

In additionTop 25 companies worldwide, as well as Top 10 Europe and Top 10 Asia

I have also added a video link for beginners. This will give you an idea of how far the development of humanoid robotics has already progressed.

I took a closer look at Parker Hannifin shares over the last few hours and found almost no good reasons to sell. Except of course for the ubiquitous overvaluation of US stocks...

I started with this share because it is the smallest position in my portfolio and therefore doesn't make sense simply because of its size.

In the chart, my smallest stock positions in ascending order of position size:

Now I have found out the following:

The stock is currently trading at around $723.

As of Q1, Parker has $9,370 million in debt and about $408 million in cash and cash equivalents.

If you now subtract the have from the should and divide it by the number of shares, around 128.44 million, I arrive at a net debt per share of around $69.8.

Worse than in the previous year.

In combination with the high valuation, I think I should take my approx. 13% quick book profit and reallocate.

First purchase and additional savings plan started with €100.

All companies except Danaher, which is still undergoing restructuring, delivered solid quarterly results. I was particularly impressed by $TYL (+0,29 %)
$FICO (+0,31 %)
$HEI (+0,29 %)
$PH (+0,23 %) and $TDG (+0,34 %) particularly liked. The dear @Tenbagger2024 also shared a great article on Transdigm, which you can find in the comments. $CSU (+0,11 %) and $TPL (+0,65 %) are expected to show stronger growth towards the end of Q3, which is related to the acquisition speed, especially I hope the $TPL (+0,65 %) acquires new flats.

If you are interested in a detailed earnings review on $TPL (+0,65 %) just write a comment.

Enjoy the nice weather <3

Disclaimer: the portfolio here is only for visualization on Getquin, after the hint of @Epi
I decided to create the whole thing as a wikifolio. Since I am planning to invest in the whole thing myself, I am of course happy about every reservation <3.

Wikifolio: https://www.wikifolio.com/de/de/w/wf000natxc

First of all, this is a short presentation of the companies, I will post more detailed articles in the coming days/weeks, otherwise this would go beyond the scope of this article. I look forward to your questions :)

I hope the formatting is ok so far.

The portfolio focuses on:

• Companies with strong economic moats (market leadership, high switching costs, unique assets and mission-critical products).
• Scalable business models with high/stable margins and strong free cash flow that can be efficiently reinvested (without innovation).
• Management teams with proven capital allocation skills and long-term incentives.
• long-term shareholder value

The Holdings:

Founded in 1888 from the bankruptcy of the Texas and Pacific Railway, TPL generates revenue from oil and gas royalties, water rights, land leases and infrastructure services without being directly involved in exploration or production.

• Passive, high-margin modelTPL earns royalties from oil and gas production, land leases (solar, wind, pipelines, data centers, Bitcoin mining and many others) and water management (sales and purification), often with operating margins of over 70% as there are virtually no operating costs.
• Scalable growthIncreasing energy production in the Permian Basin drives royalty income without major reinvestment; water rights and infrastructure provide additional prime sources of growth.

• Historical performanceTPL has achieved annualized returns of ~20% over the last 10 years, driven by increasing energy demand and diversification.
• Unique "Moat": Owning non-replicable land in the Permian Basin creates an unassailable competitive advantage.

The portfolio achieves the broadest possible diversification with targeted exposure to first-class compounders. Through acquisition strategies, the companies increasingly cover more and more niches within a sector, which simultaneously promotes diversification and growth.

I know that there are a few companies that would also fit in here, but I particularly wanted to include some that are less well known and not represented in most portfolios. For example, most people here already have Berkshire, Mastercard, Visa or other tech companies in their portfolios anyway.

The portfolio is not a standalone, or rather I see it as an addition to specifically bring compounders (which are also partly uninteresting for "beginners" due to the high share price) into the portfolio and thus directly overweight them, since as far as I know they are also underweighted in every ETF and therefore cannot provide any real added value.

If you want to invest in the Wikifolio, a share should have a weighting of >30% and will be rebalanced.

I am curious about the new ETF from @lawinvest let's see if we have a chance against the Ultimate Homer @Simpson have a chance against the Ultimate Homer.
