Taking a company apart

My own equity research: sum-of-the-parts valuations, earnings breakdowns, what you have to believe, where the risks are. Each piece is a standalone page you can flip through, with sources listed at the end.

  1. COSTTwo-engine breakdown + reverse-engineered pricing2026.09.11

    Costco, two engines

    One membership card, two engines that depend on each other: merchandise makes no money so members renew, and the fees are the profit. Placing 45× earnings inside Costco's own twelve-year history to work out which year, and what growth, the market is paying for.

  2. SPCXSum-of-the-parts valuation2026.09.10

    SpaceX, taken apart

    One company, three completely different businesses. Space, Connectivity and AI are valued separately against their own peers and added back together, to see which assumptions a buyer at $151 is paying for.
