MYST Advisors

Interesting shift in sentiment at MYST's latest buy-side event as the vast majority of participants felt the market did in fact bottom in June (vs. only a handful 5 weeks ago). The most compelling short ideas presented included:

Pfizer (PFE) - Adverse impact of Inflation Reduction Act not fully appreciated by the Street. TP $33 (30% downside).
Olaplex (OLPX) - Extraordinarily high margins to contract as competition intensifies and growth slows. TP $8 (35% downside).
Rogers Corp (ROG) - Expensive acquisition by DuPont in doubt as China regulatory approval delays persist. TP $170 (35% downside).
Sprout Social (SPT) - Low quality Software Co. trades at absurd valuation despite declining net adds / higher churn. TP $43 (35% downside).
