TotalEnergies - 10% Owner and Director at (link)

TotalEnergies made a killing during the COVID crash by buying a TON of Sunpower Corp (SPWR) between February and April of 2020. This is now their first purchase since April 2020 and they are buying another energy company.

Rating

Rating: 8

Why: It checks nearly all of the boxes. They have a killer win rate and returns, the stock is down over 20% in the last year, and the purchase is sizable. The only things holding this back from being a 9/10 are that it’s not an abnormally large purchase for them (it’s pretty average) and almost all of their returns come from just buying a ton of Sunpower Energy during the COVID crash.

Joshua James - Founder and CEO at (link)

This is only his third-ever purchase of the stock, but it is very large and his previous two have worked out very well (at least for the 90-day and 1-year returns).

Previous Purchases

• $10.2M on 2019-09-10 (+135% 1-year returns)

• $2.1M on 2018-07-03 (+35% 1-year returns)

Returns and Win Rate

Overall: -6% returns with a 0% win rate (0/2 trades)

1-year: 67% returns with a 100% win rate (2/2 trades)

90-day: 12% returns with a 100% win rate (2/2 trades)

Purchase Data (this week)

Total Amount Purchased: $6,065,740

Purchase Price: $14.11

Current Price: $14.61 (+3.5%)

Rating

Rating: 7

Why: The stock is down almost 85% since the end of 2021 and Josh is finally buying the dip. It’s a very sizable purchase (and his second largest) and the last two have worked out very well over the next year, so this looks promising.

Value Capital Partners - 10% Owner and Director at (link)
