Their picks, scored

Across their last 20 scored bets: 20% hit rate, -0.28% mean alpha, trader score -0.54. Their last-14d mentions, direction-adjusted, have moved +3.6% since posting (mean over 484 mentions with price data).

Bullish value software, bearish AI capex and macro risk

InvestiBrew is concentrated in long ADBE and DPZ, with repeated adds and high-conviction language around software recovery, enterprise IP safety, ROIC, buybacks, and value mean reversion. The distinctive read is a strong relative-value rotation: DPZ and ADBE over AI infrastructure names whose earnings quality, capex ROI, and price-war economics he questions. Late in the window he also disclosed buying MSFT and BABA, despite repeatedly criticizing the broader AI trade.

Direction this week

Conviction is concentrated in ADBE and DPZ, with multiple explicit ADBE adds and DPZ framed as a long-duration compounder that can beat AI names. The author remains broadly bearish on AI capex ROI, hyperscaler earnings quality, SPY/QQQ risk, and liquidity conditions, while also surfacing bullish platform optionality in UBER, HOOD, and ROKU. There is a notable tension late week: he disclosed buying MSFT and BABA even as his AI-price-war and capex-ROI framework stayed negative on MSFT and related mega-cap AI exposure.

Grade is our human read-worthiness rating; trader score is a rolling 20-bet hit-rate/alpha composite — different things, often disagreeing. “Since then” is direction-unaware in the table; the summary line above adjusts for which way they leaned.
