$FICO (+2,41 %)

Hello dear Getquin Community,

This year's IAA Mobility in Munich showed that the automotive industry is on the verge of a turning point. With over 30 percent more exhibitors than in 2023 and numerous premieres from Audi, $BMW (+0,65 %) BMW, $MBG (+0,9 %) Mercedes, $VOW3 (+1,22 %) VW, Opel and Chinese challengers such as BYD and $1211 (-0,43 %) BYD and $9868 (+1,94 %) XPeng, it became clear that electromobility has now become the standard. However, behind these new platforms and concepts lies an even bigger topic, namely autonomous driving and the robotaxis of the future.

In order to present this field in a clear and transparent way for investors, I have broken down the entire value chain into individual sectors. These include automotive and suppliers, semiconductors and technology, communication and infrastructure, software and algorithms, logistics and transportation, insurance and finance, energy and infrastructure, battery and propulsion, maps and mapping, and safety and cybersecurity. Within each sector, I have analyzed the big players, the hidden champions and the blade manufacturers and highlighted my favorites in each case with a brief explanation. @Multibagger 😎

My aim was to develop as comprehensive a picture as possible that shows where the opportunities lie in this new industry and how investors can position themselves at an early stage. Perhaps the IAA 2025 was not just a car show, but actually the starting signal for the next big investment ecosystem around robotaxis and autonomous driving. If I have overlooked any important aspects or if a categorization was not quite precise, I look forward to your comments @BamBamInvest
@Epi
😎 and exciting additions @All-in-or-nothing 😎 Together we can understand this topic even better and learn from each other. @Tenbagger2024 😎

Feel free to leave a 👍. I wish you every success with your investments 🚀

$$FICO (+2,41 %)

I can't find anything, what's going on?

$FICO (+2,41 %)

My dears, politicians are once again dictating the price of a share.

Is this a buying opportunity for you, or rather a reason to flee the stock?

@Simpson

The share price of the rating company Fair Isaac has plummeted. The trigger should also make the rest of the US real estate sector sit up and take notice.

In simple terms, the rating company Fair Isaac (Fico) is the Schufa of the American real estate market. If Americans want a home loan from their bank, their Fico rating determines whether they get it. This prominent position was Fair Isaac's undoing on Wednesday: the company's share price plummeted by 15.74 percent. The worst daily performance in the broad S&P 500 index. What happened?

Owning your own home is an integral part of the American dream, which is why US politicians are keeping an eagle eye on the real estate market. According to the US Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA), demand for loans slumped by 5.1 percent last week compared to the previous week. Chief economist Mike Fratantoni blamed this on the high interest rates on home loans.

For Bill Pulte, Director of the US Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), the development must have struck a nerve. The head of the agency first vented his anger at an MBA event and then on Platform X: "After the hard work of many great senators, including Senator Tim Scott, I am extremely disappointed with Fico's cost increases for American consumers." Fair Isaac's share price subsequently plummeted.

According to reports, Pulte was particularly upset by the credit rating agency's decision in November. At that time, Fair Isaac had raised the fee for granting mortgage loans from 3.50 dollars to 4.95 dollars. An increase of more than 40 percent.

The head of the authority also indicated that he wants to resume the FHFA's efforts to change the regulation of credit ratings. Since 2022, the authority has been planning to adjust the rules for homebuilders so that they only have to provide two credit ratings instead of three. This plan is viewed critically in the real estate industry as it is considered less meaningful. For Fair Isaac, on the other hand, it could mean a cut in fee revenue.

But why are investors so sensitive to the statements of a head of authority? One reason could be that this is not the first time that politicians have explicitly blamed Fico for the situation on the US real estate market. In a letter to the US Department of Justice in June last year, Republican Senator Josh Hawley accused Fico of using his dominant market position to drive up prices and called for the antitrust authorities to intervene.

All companies except Danaher, which is still undergoing restructuring, delivered solid quarterly results. I was particularly impressed by $TYL (-0,68 %)
$FICO (+2,41 %)
$HEI (-0,26 %)
$PH (+0,64 %) and $TDG (+0,22 %) particularly liked. The dear @Tenbagger2024 also shared a great article on Transdigm, which you can find in the comments. $CSU (+1,42 %) and $TPL (+0,09 %) are expected to show stronger growth towards the end of Q3, which is related to the acquisition speed, especially I hope the $TPL (+0,09 %) acquires new flats.

If you are interested in a detailed earnings review on $TPL (+0,09 %) 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.

• 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.

• Disciplined managementManagement has diversified the business model through water and infrastructure services and remains lean and efficient. Future focus on data centers (the Permian Basin is considered the ultimate hotspot for data centers in the US)

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.
