Daniel Pronk: Stock Analyses & Picks

The YouTuber is buying Mastercard (MA) because it is trading at its lowest price multiples since 2016, despite continued business growth. He addresses concerns about national payment rails (like Pix and UPI) by arguing that credit cards remain essential for international transactions, building credit, and accessing benefits like rewards. He also emphasizes Mastercard's successful pivot to value-added services, which now constitute over 40% of revenue and are growing faster than the core payment network, diversifying its business model.

“Mastercard stock continues to sell off down to its lowest price multiples since 2016. So, Mastercard is now trading for a lower multiple than it was during the COVID crash, during the 2022 sell-off, and literally for a decade low price ratio.” — ▶ 29:50

The YouTuber is increasingly interested in buying Mastercard, viewing its recent underperformance as an opportunity. He highlights its strong fundamentals, including 60% operating margins, 175 billion transactions annually, and consistent growth in cash flows and revenue. The stock is trading at its lowest forward P/E since 2018, making it an attractive value proposition while the market focuses on other sectors.

“And funny enough for myself, I'm actually getting more interested in Mastercard because it has been underperforming while the underlying business is continuing to grow and compound away.” — ▶ 34:00

The YouTuber has rotated a significant portion of capital from Brookfield Corporation into Brookfield Asset Management. He argues that BAM has a better, more consistent track record, stronger execution, and offers more value. BAM is on track to meet or beat its targets, is less complex, pays a higher dividend, and is growing faster, making it a more attractive investment with higher return potential, especially given its current valuation below historical averages.

“Brookfield Asset Management has a better, more consistent track record, stronger execution, and I believe is offering more value.” — ▶ 00:01:40

The YouTuber is actively buying Brookfield Asset Management, citing the CEO's strong guidance for over 20% growth in 2026, driven by accelerating fundraising and demand for infrastructure assets. The company's focus on real assets like energy infrastructure positions it as an 'AI winner' as energy becomes a bottleneck, and its current valuation is below historical averages.

“So for me, I think that Brookfield Asset Management is going to continue seeing tailwinds for years to come. And I think that this business is eventually going to become clear in the market that they are an AI winner, an AI beneficiary, and their assets are going to increase in value as energy bottlenecks continue.” — ▶ Watch clip

The YouTuber is adding to Brookfield Asset Management (BAM) due to its current valuation, which he believes offers more value than BN. He highlights BAM's historically higher P/E multiple due to its clean business model, high fee-related earnings margin, and strong dividend growth prospects. Recent earnings reports and analyst targets suggest accelerated earnings growth, making his DCF analysis potentially conservative.

“So, I have trimmed down my BN position and rotated that capital into BAM. And now, let me explain why I have done so.” — ▶ 2:40

The YouTuber continues to buy MercadoLibre (MELI), asserting it's one of the cheapest stocks in the market. He points to its dominant e-commerce market share in Mexico and Latin America with significant growth, accelerating high-margin advertising revenue (73% YoY growth, 80% operating margin), and a massive fintech platform comparable in size to Nubank. He argues a sum-of-the-parts valuation suggests the current $82 billion market cap is significantly undervalued, especially considering its long growth runway and analyst expectations for revenue to more than double in three years.

“I truly think that Marcato Libre is one of the cheapest stocks in the entire market right now. And I don't necessarily agree with the reasons why the market is trading it so low.” — ▶ 17:00

The YouTuber identifies MercadoLibre as a potential buying opportunity, believing it to be one of many stocks with strong fundamentals that have been 'left behind' by the market's focus on AI and semiconductors. He suggests that despite the S&P 500 being at all-time highs, there is significant value in such overlooked companies.

“Just take a look at Skyward. Take a look at BAM. Take a look at Mastercard Visa Microsoft even Nvidia. Arguably, Marcato, Libre, New Bank, Meta, Brookfield Corporation, KKR, Apollo.” — ▶ 40:40

The YouTuber views MercadoLibre as significantly undervalued after a post-earnings drop, despite its dominant e-commerce and fintech positions in Latin America and explosive growth in its advertising business. While short-term margin compression due to aggressive investment is a market concern, the YouTuber believes the long-term growth and potential for margin expansion make it a 'ridiculously cheap' stock.

“So over the longer term, if Marcato Libre can continue to see such strong revenue growth, maintain their marketleading positions across Latin America, expand their advertising business, and just continue growing overall, then eventually when they do expand their margins, the profits this business will see will be explosive.” — ▶ Watch clip

The YouTuber believes MercadoLibre is significantly undervalued, trading at approximately 12 times its underlying free cash flow potential if it were to cease aggressive growth investments. He argues that current margin compression is a strategic choice to capture long-term market share and that the company's investments are clearly paying off, leading to accelerating revenue growth and a strengthening competitive moat. He emphasizes that this is a long-term investment with decades of growth ahead, not suitable for short-term traders.

“I believe that Marcato Libre stock is very undervalued in the market today. If their investments can pay off and if long-term that free cash flow can be realized. That's really the investment thesis.” — ▶ 30:00

The YouTuber continues to buy Meta (META) due to its perceived undervaluation and new monetization opportunities. He highlights the rollout of Meta Business Agents, an AI-powered tool for businesses on WhatsApp, Messenger, and Instagram, which is expected to become a significant, high-margin, recurring revenue stream. He argues that Meta's massive user base and distribution position it to win in the AI world, and even with conservative DCF assumptions (15% operating cash flow growth, 13x price to operating cash flow), the stock shows strong upside potential.

“I have continued to buy more shares of Meta on a consistent basis in the market because I think that this stock is also truly undervalued in the market today.” — ▶ 37:50

The YouTuber is buying Meta shares, believing the stock is undervalued. He highlights Meta's new subscription plans for Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp, which could generate billions in annual recurring revenue and diversify its business beyond advertising. He also notes the strong growth in business AI conversations and the potential for multiple expansion as Meta's internal capex spend yields high ROI, making its advertising business more efficient.

“And ultimately I think that the stock is undervalued and looking cheap today. So those are the new updates that I have to share on Meta after their subscription announcement and after their AGM and also why I am continuing to buy Meta actively in the market and I even purchased some more shares today.” — ▶ Watch clip

The YouTuber identifies Meta as a potential buying opportunity, believing it to be one of many stocks with strong fundamentals that have been 'left behind' by the market's focus on AI and semiconductors. He suggests that despite the S&P 500 being at all-time highs, there is significant value in such overlooked companies.

“Just take a look at Skyward. Take a look at BAM. Take a look at Mastercard Visa Microsoft even Nvidia. Arguably, Marcato, Libre, New Bank, Meta, Brookfield Corporation, KKR, Apollo.” — ▶ 40:40

The YouTuber believes Meta is undervalued after its Q1 earnings sell-off, arguing the market is overreacting to increased capex and short-term margin compression. Meta is showing strong top-line acceleration and gaining market share in digital advertising, suggesting its investments are paying off. The stock is trading below its historical average forward P/E and price-to-operating cash flow, making it an attractive long-term buy.

“In my opinion, Meta is one of the highest quality businesses in the entire world and it's now trading for below a 20 forward price to earnings ratio at the same time as the top line is projected to continue growing by over 20% annually.” — ▶ Watch clip

The YouTuber is buying Meta shares due to strong Q1 2026 earnings, including 33% revenue growth and 30% operating income growth, despite increased capex and a one-time tax benefit. He believes the core advertising business is accelerating, taking market share, and is undervalued based on his conservative discounted cash flow (DCF) analysis, which projects a 17% compounded annual growth rate.

“I think that it is a very highquality business that's accelerating and offering a discount in the market today. So yes, I have nibbled on some more shares and increased my position to Meta while the stock is down.” — ▶ 20:00

The YouTuber significantly increased his Amazon position after strong Q1 earnings, citing accelerating revenue growth across multiple segments including AWS, advertising, and third-party services. He highlights the massive and rapidly growing chips business within Amazon, which he believes is undervalued by the market. Despite being at all-time highs, the stock's price-to-operating cash flow multiple is below its historical average, and DCF analysis suggests it is still undervalued, especially given its history of free cash flow exploding after capex cycles.

“I think that Amazon is surprisingly one of the ways to still get access and exposure to the chips industry and all of the demand that the chips industry is seeing at a very fair price.” — ▶ 17:00

The YouTuber is adding to Amazon (AMZN) despite it trading near all-time highs, believing it is still undervalued relative to its fundamentals and future outlook. He points to Amazon's significant investment in Anthropic, the massive AWS capacity commitment from Anthropic, and the potential for Amazon's Graviton CPU chips to benefit from an industry-wide CPU shortage, especially with the rise of Agentic AI. His DCF analysis, even with conservative growth estimates, suggests undervaluation.

“I do believe that Amazon's stock is still offering value relative to the company's fundamentals and its future outlook.” — ▶ 14:00

The YouTuber identifies Brookfield Corporation as a potential buying opportunity, believing it to be one of many stocks with strong fundamentals that have been 'left behind' by the market's focus on AI and semiconductors. He suggests that despite the S&P 500 being at all-time highs, there is significant value in such overlooked companies.

“Just take a look at Skyward. Take a look at BAM. Take a look at Mastercard Visa Microsoft even Nvidia. Arguably, Marcato, Libre, New Bank, Meta, Brookfield Corporation, KKR, Apollo.” — ▶ 40:40

The YouTuber has significantly trimmed his position in Brookfield Corporation, reducing overall portfolio exposure from over 20% to 10-11%. He believes the company is on track to miss its 2025 guidance, primarily due to the underwhelming growth of its insurance business, which was expected to be the largest growth driver. This has led him to lower future growth outlooks and, consequently, the future return potential for the stock, despite it trading at a premium to historical valuation averages.

“I have significantly trimmed down my Brookfield Corporation position and rotated a large amount of that capital into Brookfield Asset Management.” — ▶ 00:00:10

The YouTuber trimmed his position in Brookfield Corporation (BN) to reallocate capital into Brookfield Asset Management (BAM). He believes that BAM now offers more value than BN at their respective prices, based on his updated DCF analysis and the cleaner business model of BAM.

“The reason I am trimming down my BN position is to add to BAM. If you are someone who has been following my channel for quite some time, then you know that back in October of 2024, I sold my entire BAM position.” — ▶ 2:00

The YouTuber believes Constellation Software is undervalued, trading at 15 times free cash flow, significantly below its historical median of 25.2, despite compounding revenue and free cash flow by over 20% annually. He argues the market's AI disruption fears are unfounded for vertical market software companies like Constellation, which are deeply embedded in customer workflows and are actually benefiting from AI, allowing them to acquire more companies at attractive valuations.

“So, personally, I do think that Constellation Software stock is looking undervalued in the market today, and I have been a buyer on the way down.” — ▶ 34:50

The YouTuber believes SpaceX's projected $2 trillion IPO valuation is unjustifiable, trading at 105 times 2025 sales and over 300 times operating cash flow. While acknowledging its innovative nature and long-term potential, he argues the current valuation reflects market euphoria and is detached from its financial performance, which shows significant losses despite revenue growth, with only Starlink being profitable.

“If SpaceX actually IPOs around a $2 trillion valuation, then it would be trading for 105 times sales based on their 2025 numbers and over 300 times operating cash flows. And it would be one of the largest companies in the world. That valuation simply is just unjustifiable to me.” — ▶ 16:00

The YouTuber is buying Limbach (LMB) because he believes the recent 37% stock drop after Q1 2026 earnings was unjustified, as the weak quarter was guided for and due to a one-off healthcare booking slowdown. He highlights the company's successful shift to higher-margin ODR revenue, strong data center growth, reaffirmed full-year guidance, and a valuation (23x forward P/E, 14x FCF) that is significantly below peers and historical averages, suggesting the market is not pricing in its growth potential.

“I have been adding to my own portfolio and I am actively buying it in the stock market right now.” — ▶ 3:00

The YouTuber is interested in buying Nubank (NU) due to its current valuation (18.4x P/E, 12.4x forward P/E) despite over 40% revenue and net income growth. He highlights its massive customer base, growing average revenue per active account, decreasing cost to serve, and significant untapped market opportunities in Mexico and the US. The recent CFO resignation, which led to a stock sell-off, is viewed as bullish due to the highly experienced new CFO from Visa.

“I have not purchased any shares of this business quite yet but it is one that I am very interested in and I think is looking very undervalued in the market today.” — ▶ 28:50

The YouTuber identifies NuBank as a potential buying opportunity, believing it to be one of many stocks with strong fundamentals that have been 'left behind' by the market's focus on AI and semiconductors. He suggests that despite the S&P 500 being at all-time highs, there is significant value in such overlooked companies.

“Just take a look at Skyward. Take a look at BAM. Take a look at Mastercard Visa Microsoft even Nvidia. Arguably, Marcato, Libre, New Bank, Meta, Brookfield Corporation, KKR, Apollo.” — ▶ 40:40

The YouTuber is close to buying Construction Partners, citing its critical role in maintaining US infrastructure, recurring revenue from road maintenance, and strong acquisition-led growth strategy. The stock trades at 14.9 times trailing 12-month EBITDA, below its historical average of 17, and projects 19% annual EBITDA growth, suggesting significant undervaluation and a 17.5% CAGR over the next five years.

“So, I do think that there is an argument that Roadstock is looking undervalued in the market.” — ▶ 43:00

The YouTuber advises avoiding ASTS due to its extremely high valuation, trading at a 592 price-to-sales ratio and a $50 billion market cap on only $60-80 million in annual revenue. He notes the company is unprofitable, relies on dilution and debt, and its stock price has run far ahead of its business fundamentals, increasing investor risk significantly.

“But for me, it always comes back to, okay, what is actually a fair price to pay for this business? Because a $50 billion market cap for a company doing anywhere between 60 to $80 million in revenue seems just too far out there, man.” — ▶ 20:40

The YouTuber believes Skyward is undervalued, trading at less than 9 times 2026 earnings projections, which is below its historical average. The company's fundamentals are at all-time highs, and it continues to grow at double-digit rates despite headwinds in the broader insurance industry, suggesting it's an outlier not as exposed to cyclicality.

“Skyward is a business that is trading for under 926 earnings which is a very low price multiple in my opinion. It's well below the company's historical averages. Their fundamentals are at an all-time high and the business is continuing to grow at double-digit rates.” — ▶ Watch clip

The YouTuber suggests S&P Global is undervalued, trading at a forward P/E of 21, well below its historical median of 28.6, despite 10% revenue and EPS growth. He argues the market is incorrectly lumping it with software companies vulnerable to AI disruption, believing SPGI's vast proprietary data and embedded customer workflows make it an AI beneficiary with a wide moat.

“So, in my opinion, again, if S&P Global can prove that it's not actually being disrupted by artificial intelligence, and instead if they can actually turn that into a tailwind and continue growing revenue and earnings per share by 10% per year, then the stock is actually looking pretty dang interesting today.” — ▶ 24:50

The YouTuber suggests avoiding Applied Materials, despite its S&P 500 inclusion, due to its high 42 P/E ratio and 35 forward P/E, which he believes is detached from its modest 3.5% annual revenue growth since 2022. He argues that such a high multiple implies an unrealistic expectation for future revenue acceleration.

“But when you're buying this stock at a 40 price multiple, it means that you're expecting this revenue to be basically going vertical very very soon, which could happen. But I think that it's a pretty tall order to ask.” — ▶ 23:50

The YouTuber is avoiding Micron due to its historically cyclical nature, where earnings spike and then decline significantly. He argues that despite the current low forward P/E ratio, this is typical for cyclical businesses at their peak, making the stock appear cheap when it might be expensive in hindsight. He lacks faith that the current earnings growth is sustainable long-term, citing Benjamin Graham and Peter Lynch's views on cyclical stocks.

“So the reason that I am staying out of Micron stock and I'm not looking to enter it here is because I am skeptical that its earnings will be sustained over the longer term.” — ▶ Watch clip

The YouTuber argues Shift 4 is 'ridiculously cheap,' trading at approximately 6.5 times 2026 free cash flow expectations, despite strong double-digit growth and significant share buybacks. The founder's continued open-market purchases further indicate undervaluation, though the YouTuber acknowledges concerns about the business's moat.

“This business is now trading for under seven times 2026 free cash flow expectations while also continuing to grow by doubledigit growth rates.” — ▶ Watch clip

The YouTuber identifies Apollo as a potential buying opportunity, believing it to be one of many stocks with strong fundamentals that have been 'left behind' by the market's focus on AI and semiconductors. He suggests that despite the S&P 500 being at all-time highs, there is significant value in such overlooked companies.

“Just take a look at Skyward. Take a look at BAM. Take a look at Mastercard Visa Microsoft even Nvidia. Arguably, Marcato, Libre, New Bank, Meta, Brookfield Corporation, KKR, Apollo.” — ▶ 40:40

The YouTuber identifies KKR as a potential buying opportunity, believing it to be one of many stocks with strong fundamentals that have been 'left behind' by the market's focus on AI and semiconductors. He suggests that despite the S&P 500 being at all-time highs, there is significant value in such overlooked companies.

“Just take a look at Skyward. Take a look at BAM. Take a look at Mastercard Visa Microsoft even Nvidia. Arguably, Marcato, Libre, New Bank, Meta, Brookfield Corporation, KKR, Apollo.” — ▶ 40:40

The YouTuber identifies Nvidia as a potential buying opportunity, believing it to be one of many stocks with strong fundamentals that have been 'left behind' by the market's focus on AI and semiconductors. He suggests that despite the S&P 500 being at all-time highs, there is significant value in such overlooked companies.

“Just take a look at Skyward. Take a look at BAM. Take a look at Mastercard Visa Microsoft even Nvidia. Arguably, Marcato, Libre, New Bank, Meta, Brookfield Corporation, KKR, Apollo.” — ▶ 40:40

The YouTuber identifies Microsoft as a potential buying opportunity, believing it to be one of many stocks with strong fundamentals that have been 'left behind' by the market's focus on AI and semiconductors. He suggests that despite the S&P 500 being at all-time highs, there is significant value in such overlooked companies.

“Just take a look at Skyward. Take a look at BAM. Take a look at Mastercard Visa Microsoft even Nvidia. Arguably, Marcato, Libre, New Bank, Meta, Brookfield Corporation, KKR, Apollo.” — ▶ 40:40

The YouTuber identifies Visa as a potential buying opportunity, believing it to be one of many stocks with strong fundamentals that have been 'left behind' by the market's focus on AI and semiconductors. He suggests that despite the S&P 500 being at all-time highs, there is significant value in such overlooked companies.

“Just take a look at Skyward. Take a look at BAM. Take a look at Mastercard Visa Microsoft even Nvidia. Arguably, Marcato, Libre, New Bank, Meta, Brookfield Corporation, KKR, Apollo.” — ▶ 40:40

The YouTuber recommends avoiding Quanta Services, despite its strong 20% annual revenue growth since 2022 due to data center buildouts. He argues its near 100 P/E and 52 forward P/E are excessive for a construction business, especially given the industry's historical cyclicality, indicating the price multiples are 'getting a little bit ahead of their skis'.

“Like a 52 forward price to earnings ratio for a construction business that's historically been a very cyclical industry. And I have another example with another stock called Argan Inc.” — ▶ 27:00

The YouTuber advises against KLA Corporation, noting its stock has gone 'vertical' and now trades at a 55 P/E and 41 forward P/E. While acknowledging solid 16% annual revenue growth, he believes the share price has become detached from fundamentals, with the price multiple getting too high relative to the business's growth rate.

“But even still, you can see that the revenue is growing, but it's not really seeing that much of an acceleration, whereas the share price has just been going vertical. And I think that this is another example of maybe the share price getting a little bit detached from the underlying fundamentals.” — ▶ 25:30

The YouTuber suggests avoiding Argan Inc., noting its share price has gone 'absolutely vertical' despite historically cyclical revenue that hasn't grown for four to five quarters. He finds its 69 P/E and 60 forward P/E to be an example of construction stocks with even minor data center exposure seeing inflated price multiples and insane buying.

“Once again, you can see that it share price has just gone absolutely vertical. is trading for a 69 price to earnings ratio now a 60 forward PE and if we take a look at its revenue you can see that it's been extremely cyclical historically and it actually hasn't grown for about four to five quarters now.” — ▶ 28:00

The YouTuber is avoiding Snowflake due to its high valuation, trading at approximately 67.5 times free cash flow for the current year, despite strong revenue growth and net revenue retention. While acknowledging its positive earnings report and AI tailwinds, he considers the stock 'very, very expensive' at its current price.

“So, personally, I still think that Snowflake stock is very, very expensive and I'm not necessarily interested in it at this price.” — ▶ Watch clip

The YouTuber acknowledges that Sea Limited is executing well, with strong revenue growth across its e-commerce, fintech, and gaming segments, and trades at a forward P/E of 20.7 despite being down 53% from its highs. However, he prefers MercadoLibre due to its stronger moat and higher growth potential, and does not feel the need to own both.

“So then the question is am I buying C Limited today and the answer is no and it's simply because I own a lot of Marcato Libre and I do think that Marcato Libre is the better business with more modes and actually more growth as well.” — ▶ 10:00
