Ryman Hospitality: Grande Lakes Deepens A Scarce Convention Resort Moat
Ryman Hospitality Properties earns a Buy rating for its unique, defensible group-focused resort portfolio and strategic Grande Lakes Orlando acquisition. RHP leverages network effects and limited new supply to drive higher RevPAR, non-room revenues, and per-share earnings even in a mixed hotel industry environment. The $1.38B Grande Lakes deal is expected to be accretive to adjusted FFO by 2027, funded conservatively with equity, cash, and debt to preserve flexibility.

Sylvamo Corporation: Near-Cycle-Low FCF Creates An Attractive Recovery Opportunity
Sylvamo is facing temporary headwinds from European weakness, lost capacity, operational issues, and elevated capex, pushing earnings and FCF near cyclical lows. North American supply cuts and tariffs could strengthen pricing, while Eastover's upgrade and operational improvements should support higher margins and EBITDA. A cyclical recovery in Europe and Latin America, combined with normalized capex, could eventually restore SLVM to more than $300 million of annual FCF.

Meituan: Still Bullish After Q2 Turnaround
I maintain a "Buy" rating on Meituan, citing a strong 2Q26 beat and a return to profitability. MPNGY's Core Local Commerce division delivered 10% YoY growth and a CNY5.67 billion operating profit, driven by high-AOV bookings and subsidy reductions.

IREN Limited: The Market Is Too Pessimistic
IREN's AI transition is moving faster than I expected, with AI cloud revenue already above mining revenue and around $4B of contracted ARR. The biggest positive for me is the contract economics: pricing per MW is rising while customers increasingly help fund the required infrastructure upfront. The $25B-$30B FY 2027 CapEx plan looks extreme, but IREN is relying much less on equity (previous overhang) than the headline number suggests.
