It’s hard to believe it’s already been half a year since we started our search for exceptional businesses & investment opportunities for The Intrinsic Value Portfolio. Over the past months, we’ve analyzed 25 companies, breaking them down weekly in the newsletter & on the podcast.

Time flies — and over these past months, we’ve analyzed 25 companies, breaking them down week by week in the newsletter and on the podcast. We’ve come across plenty of impressive businesses, but only eight have made it into our portfolio so far.

Today, we’re revisiting our current holdings, briefly walking through the theses and updating you on what’s changed since we first made the investment.

Join Daniel and Shawn in today's episode as they step back for a mid-year review of the Intrinsic Value Portfolio, revisiting each holding to test the strength of their original theses and weigh what’s changed.

From ride-hailing to beauty retail, this episode covers the full lineup: why Uber’s cross-sell flywheel and Waymo partnership reinforce its moat; how Alphabet’s latest earnings measure up against the growing threat of AI-native search; and why Reddit may succeed where Snapchat struggled, turning engagement into monetisation.

Today, we’re departing from the familiar territory of scalable SaaS companies and brand-centric consumer products, like Airbnb, Alphabet, Reddit, Nike, and Mercedes-Benz, and stepping into a realm that many investors will find more distasteful: fi****ms manufacturing via Smith & Wesson (ticker: SWBI).

As such, we ask that you set your views on the issue aside, as we will try to do so, too, and simply look at the company through an investment lens, as we would with any other. This is a name that, if the thesis plays out, could be a 3-6 bagger.

On today's episode of The Intrinsic Value Podcast, Shawn O’Malley and Daniel Mahncke break down Smith & Wesson (ticker: SWBI), an iconic fi****ms manufacturer with 170+ years of history.

Smith & Wesson is no compounder, though. It’s an okay business, at best, but Shawn and Daniel want to determine whether this often-overlooked stock is cheaply priced.

In this episode, you’ll learn how Smith & Wesson has navigated the volatile sales cycle in fi****ms, what factors can drive the biggest swings in fi****ms sales, whether Smith & Wesson’s juicy dividend is sustainable, the biggest political and legal risks facing this company, what famous investor owns the stock, how Smith & Wesson shares can help an investor hedge societal disruptions, and whether Smith & Wesson is attractively valued on a normalized earnings basis plus so much more!

The Rainwater Equity ETF just launched on June 18th, 2025, under the ticker RW, and its objective is to compound capital at an above-average rate by investing in publicly listed recurring revenue businesses.

The fund Joseph managed at his previous firm compounded at 16.7% since 2015, versus the S&P 500’s 13.1% over that same time period. It was also the top-performing fund out of 343 in its US Large Cap Core Equity category by Nasdaq eVestment.

“Taiwan Semiconductor is one of the best-managed and most important companies in the world. And I think you’ll be able to say the same thing 5, 10, or 20 years from now.”

This is what Buffett said about TSMC in his 2023 shareholder meeting. However, he added, “I don’t like its location.”

That one comment may explain why Buffett exited his $5 billion position in TSMC just a few months after initiating it, despite praising the business itself in the strongest terms.

Since then, the stock has more than doubled. But the geopolitical noise surrounding Taiwan hasn’t quieted down. So today, let’s take a closer look at TSMC and whether the quality of its business can outweigh the risk of owning it.
