The underlying business has $776M in cash, zero debt, and 70% repeat revenue. If my read is right, this could be the best entry point I&#8217;ve seen in months. I&#8217;ll tell Founding Members exactly what price level would trigger my entry.</p><p>The portfolio is sitting at <strong>43% cash</strong>. That&#8217;s not an accident.

And the ones that do tend to be permanently cheap for a reason.</p><p>But every rule has an exception. And the exception here is a company that built something the rest of the market quietly depends on &#8212; the independent marketplace through which Disney, Netflix, Roku, Paramount, Warner Bros. Discovery, and every other major streaming platform sell their advertising inventory to the world.</p><p>This company is not a middleman.

The debt that buried this company&#8217;s fundamentals for four years is gone.</p><p><strong>&gt;30%</strong> &#8212; Free cash flow growth guided for 2026. Management is not guiding conservatively.

The business sits in a very attractive niche: it helps companies capture and manage government backed innovation incentives (think mission critical compliance and workflow, not a nice to have tool). When this category works, it tends to produce exactly what we want in a multibagger portfolio: sticky workflows, recurring usage, and expanding penetration as customers scale their innovation spend.</p><p>The market has pushed the stock down again, despite solid results. That is frustrating, but it is also where opportunity is created in small caps. Even more important, the management team has continued to buy shares. In our world, that matters.

The buyer is a consortium led by FedEx and Advent International, alongside A&amp;R (the investment vehicle of Rafa&#322; Brzoska) and PPF Group.</p><p><strong>Portfolio action:</strong> We are <strong>removing InPost from our 2026 Portfolio</strong> and <strong>booking the position</strong>.</p><p>And yes emotionally, this one stings.</p><p>Because InPost was exactly the kind of rare European growth asset you want to own for years: a scaled network, improving unit economics, and a runway that could have produced a true public-market compounding story. Instead, it gets &#8220;solved&#8221; via takeout <strong>at a price that&#8217;s still below the IPO reference</strong> (IPO price was <strong>&#8364;16.00</strong> per share).</p><p>So why sell if we think it&#8217;s a great business? Because once a company enters a takeover process, the investment stops being &#8220;quality compounding&#8221; and becomes &#8220;deal math.&#8221;</p><div><hr></div><h2>&#129504; The key point: the return profile changed overnight</h2><p>Before the announcement, our upside case was open-ended:</p><ul><li><p>more lockers, more density,</p></li><li><p>better utilization,</p></li><li><p>stronger network effects,</p></li><li><p>improving profitability,</p></li><li><p>and eventually, a rerating.</p></li></ul><p>After the announcement, the upside is <strong>capped</strong> by the offer price. What matters now is:</p><ul><li><p>the spread to &#8364;15.60,</p></li><li><p>the time to closing,</p></li></ul><p>The press release lays out a long timetable: the offer memorandum is expected in <strong>Q2 2026</strong>, and the transaction is expected to close in <strong>H2 2026</strong>. And importantly, completion is subject to conditions, including a <strong>minimum acceptance level of at least 80%</strong> plus regulatory clearances and other customary conditions.</p><p>That is not our game. Our 2026 Portfolio is built for <strong>mispriced compounding</strong>, not for sitting in a long-dated tender process where your return becomes spread + calendar time.</p><div><hr></div><h2>Why this feels frustrating</h2><p>Let&#8217;s call it what it is: <strong>it&#8217;s disappointing to lose a potential multibagger candidate at a price that doesn&#8217;t feel like &#8220;full value.&#8221;</strong></p><p>Two facts make that feeling completely rational:</p><ol><li><p><strong>The offer is below the IPO price.</strong><br>InPost listed at <strong>&#8364;16.00</strong> in January 2021, and the takeout is <strong>&#8364;15.60</strong>. <br>That doesn&#8217;t automatically mean the offer is &#8220;cheap&#8221; (IPO prices are often set in optimistic regimes), but it does mean the public market never fully rewarded the long-duration thesis.</p></li><li><p><strong>Strategic buyers tend to buy after multiple compression.</strong><br>The consortium is explicitly positioning this as a way to accelerate European out-of-home delivery growth, expand locker footprint, deepen consumer-centric digital solutions, and unlock growth with long-term capital behind it. <br>In plain English: they believe this asset is more valuable <em>under private ownership</em> than the public market was willing to price.</p></li></ol><p>This is the uncomfortable reality in European small caps: sometimes the public-market rerating never comes and the value gets crystallized by a strategic/private buyer instead.</p><div><hr></div><h2>Portfolio impact: </h2><p>As of our latest portfolio snapshot, the position showed:</p><ul><li><p><strong>Allocation:</strong> ~<strong>10.49%</strong></p></li><li><p><strong>Unrealized gain:</strong> <strong>+46.53%</strong> (about <strong>+$410</strong> on a ~$1,291 position value)</p></li></ul><p>That&#8217;s exactly the profile we aim for: we owned the right asset, the market eventually recognized its strategic value, and the outcome is being monetized.</p><div><hr></div><h2>What happens next if you still hold?</h2><p>Mechanically, the press release outlines the pathway:</p><ul><li><p>The consortium intends to launch a public offer with <strong>&#8364;15.60 cash per tendered share</strong>.</p></li><li><p>The offer has a <strong>minimum acceptance of 80%</strong>.</p></li><li><p>If they end up with <strong>80% to &lt;95%</strong>, there&#8217;s a post-closing structure described (demerger/liquidation pathway).</p></li><li><p>If they reach <strong>&#8805;95%</strong>, they can initiate a statutory squeeze-out process.</p></li></ul><p>Your broker will handle the tender mechanics once the offer is live (after the offer memorandum is published). The key is: from here, the stock&#8217;s behavior will be driven far more by deal updates than by quarterly business fundamentals.</p><p>I&#8217;ll be blunt: <strong>I would have preferred to keep InPost public and let it compound.</strong> The network asset is real, the model is strategically valuable, and this kind of infrastructure can mature into extraordinary long-term returns.</p><div><hr></div><h3><strong>Disclaimer:</strong></h3><p>This publication is provided for informational and educational purposes only and reflects the author&#8217;s opinions as of the date of publication.
