Pinned straw:
I agree @ballermania
Aaryn was very modest, and really leaned into the risks and challenges. And clearly (for me at least) has the right attitude towards capital allocation. I also liked what he was saying about developing the right shareholder base and not pandering to some of the pressures from investors
But...contract wins are hard. And they seem to be the smallest player in a concentrated market.
The existential threat from the reliance on GM is a major concern too. Maybe it's a small risk, but if GM walk it's a problem. And even if they don't, the threat of that gives GM a huge amount of negotiating power.
It really is better suited as a private company imo.
I wouldn't bet against them, and a few good wins could really make a big difference. But happy to watch from the sidelines for now.
