After you receive this Alert, we will make the following trades:
-- Buy 1,145 shares of Dutch Bros BROS at or near $29.25. Following the trade, the portfolio will own 3,045 BROS shares, roughly 2.0% of the portfolio.
-- Sell the remaining 5,900 shares of Coty COTY at or near $9.15. This will close out the portfolio’s COTY position, with this last slug returning -16%.
Following our recent downgrade of Coty to a Four rating, we are executing our plan to use market strength to unwind the position. Yesterday’s better-than-expected July PPI report led the market higher and this morning’s largely in-line July CPI report looks to bring some additional lift. While that is good news for rate cuts, the odds of it translating into a rapid improvement in consumer spending are low.
The risks we identified in our Coty downgrade, including the potential for the company’s H2 2024 to underwhelm the market, remain. That is prompting us to use the recent bout of market strength to exit our remaining position.
Meanwhile, shares of the portfolio’s newest holding, Dutch Bros, have traded more or less sideways following the company's recent earnings report. As the last of the pre-earnings report short interest clears out and the prospect for lower rates bodes well for the company’s continued expansion plans, we’re picking up more shares.
