I’m happy to finally become a shareholder of this company. I’ve been following Adyen for a while, and payments was a sector I didn’t really cover directly in my portfolio.

The market seems worried about softer volumes, possible take-rate pressure and the CFO departure, but at this share price, I personally see it as an opportunity.

Hey Getquin community, would love to get some feedback on my current portfolio 😃 Long term investment horizon and currently considering cutting my $1211 (-1,9%) and $DUOL position. I am also looking to add $NU (-0,24%) and maybe $OUST 👀

New month, and a few new trades.

First, I should note that most of my activity happened in the first half of the month. After that, I tweaked my approach and now have a significantly stricter framework in place when it comes to replacing one holding with another.

As I’m 100% invested right now, the focus is clear: avoid overtrading and don’t switch one high-quality long-term compounder for another just because of a recent dip.

The month itself was largely driven by the Iran war and the effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz. But in my own portfolio, I didn’t try to predict the next tweet from Donald Trump. Instead, I focused on picking up high-quality companies at a discount.

On March 2, I mainly added to the e-commerce side of my portfolio, increasing positions in MercadoLibre and Sea Limited after both stocks sold off quite significantly.

Sea reported a strong quarter on the top line and continues to take market share, but profitability remains a concern. For me, however, market penetration is the key objective at this stage. Margins are a nice-to-have for now. MercadoLibre dropped below $1,700, largely driven by geopolitical noise rather than anything business-related.

After that, things stayed relatively quiet until mid-month, when I made a few bigger moves. I sold my Netflix position, along with some fintech exposure, and redeployed that capital into broader asset managers that were caught up in the private credit selloff without being directly exposed: Brookfield and BlackRock.

I’ve already gone into detail on both buys and the Netflix sale in previous posts.

Around the same time, I also rotated my Visa position into Adyen. There are a few reasons behind that move which I’ll break down separately, but at its core it was a choice between “a bit more safety” and “safety plus stronger growth with European exposure.”

Into the second half of the month, the strategy became even clearer: double down on the most compelling opportunities. Risk/reward setups I’d almost call no-brainers.

I honestly didn’t expect to get another chance to buy Meta below $550 or Microsoft below $370. But when the opportunity presented itself, I took it. Both were already my largest positions going into the month, and they’ve only grown further.

The final addition, which I had been waiting on for a while and stayed disciplined for, was Airbus. I explained my reasoning a few weeks ago, but to sum it up, this was a classic case of short-term geopolitical noise overshadowing long-term quality. Airbus is a high-quality business with a backlog stretching years into the future and only one real competitor, which has its own well-documented issues.

Overall, I’m very happy with how the portfolio is positioned. The Iran war didn’t help performance, but I expect those pressures to ease sooner rather than later.

Hello everyone,

Hope you’re all doing well!

After doing some research and reviewing my portfolio, I’ve decided to close a few small positions and open a new position in $ADYEN (+0,65%)

For those who might not be familiar, Adyen is a Dutch payment technology company that provides a unified platform for businesses to accept payments online, in-app, and in physical stores. The technology handles everything from payment processing and risk management to acquiring and reporting, all through one integrated system — which makes it attractive for both large global brands and fast-growing platforms.

What really appealed to me is the calibre of companies that rely on Adyen’s platform. Some prominent global customers include $UBER (+1,09%) , $SPOT (+0,69%) , $MSFT (+0,42%) , $EBAY (+0,8%) and $HM B (+0,79%) — all using $ADYEN (+0,65%) to streamline their payments infrastructure across markets.

Over the past few years, the stock price has been quite the rollercoaster, with significant volatility reflecting broader market trends as well as shifts in the payments landscape. That said, I believe the long-term growth opportunities remain strong. As digital payments continue to expand globally and more merchants look to unified payment solutions, Adyen appears well-positioned to benefit from this trend.

Given the company’s fundamentals and growth potential, I think there’s a nice run ahead toward €1,700, and I’d really like to be along for that journey.

Curious to hear your thoughts — what do you think about Adyen as an investment? Do you believe the company is well positioned for future growth, or are there other players in the market that you think might outperform it?

Looking forward to your insights!

Cheers! 🚀
