TIVP102 (Video): Hermès and LVMH Stock: Time to Buy Luxury? w/ Daniel Mahncke & Shawn O’Malley
11.10.2026 | 1 Std. 15 Min.Daniel Mahncke and Shawn O'Malley revisit the two luxury houses they passed on last time — Hermès (EPA: RMS), the 189-year-old maker of the Birkin bag, and LVMH (EPA: MC), the 75-brand conglomerate behind Louis Vuitton, Dior, Tiffany, and Hennessy. Both stocks now sit near their lows: Hermès is down more than 50% from its February 2025 peak and trades at 32 times earnings for the first time in a decade, while LVMH has fallen to a five-year low after two straight years of declining sales — something that didn't even happen in 2009. The luxury industry has lost roughly 70 million customers since 2022, the Chinese market that tripled between 2017 and 2021 has been shrinking ever since, and a war in the Gulf emptied the stores on the Champs-Élysées of their best-spending tourists.
But some brands are growing. Daniel and Shawn work out why Richemont can grow 20% in the same quarter LVMH grows 3%, why Hermès still earns a 41% margin while LVMH's fashion and leather division has given back seven points of margin in five years, and why the top 0.1% of luxury clients keep spending while the aspirational buyer walks away. They also cover the Chinese property bust and its five-to-six-year playbook, and how prior luxury downturns in 2009, 2016, and 2020 ended. In the end, Daniel updates both valuation models and decides whether either Hermès or LVMH finally earns a spot in The Intrinsic Value Portfolio.

27.09.2026 | 1 Std. 29 Min.Daniel Mahncke and Shawn O'Malley revisit Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: META), the advertising machine behind Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp that reaches 3.6 billion people every day — over 40% of the world's population — and just grew ad revenue 27% to a nearly $240 billion annual run rate. Yet the stock trades more than 20% below its highs, because the money is going out even faster than it's coming in: operating margins fell from 43% to 31% in a single year, quarterly free cash flow collapsed from $8.5 billion to $784 million, and capex guidance now sits at $130–145 billion this year — with analysts penciling in $200 billion for next.
Daniel and Shawn dig into what all that spending actually buys. Is this Mark Zuckerberg's third failed attempt to turn Meta into a platform — after the FarmVille-era Facebook apps and a $100 billion metaverse — or does AI finally make the vision real, whether through AI glasses, a personal agent, a budding cloud business, or an ad engine where every pixel becomes sellable inventory? They also cover Meta's $17 billion settlement with 47 states over teen safety, the special purpose vehicles keeping tens of billions of data-center debt off Meta's balance sheet, why Apple is quietly taking the opposite side of Meta's bet, and why Wall Street rewards Google for the same capex it punishes Meta for. In the end, Daniel rebuilds his valuation model from scratch and decides whether Meta finally earns a spot in The Intrinsic Value Portfolio.
IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL LEARN:
(00:00:00) Intro
(00:00:45) About Zuckerberg’s Platform Dream
(00:11:30) Why Meta was sued and how it settled
(00:20:53) What the regulatory risk means for Meta’s future
(00:28:33) What Meta’s AI vision looks like
(00:37:30) How AI could revolutionize Meta’s Ads Business
(00:40:47) About the optionality of WhatsApp
(00:48:13) Why AI could make Meta glasses a success
(01:02:20) How Meta is planning to build a Cloud Business
(01:18:40) Meta's valuation discussion
(01:22:47) How much Meta's stock is actually worth
(01:22:57) Whether META will be added to The Intrinsic Value Portfolio

20.09.2026 | 1 Std. 20 Min.In today's episode, Kyle Grieve and Shawn O’Malley revisit Alphabet nearly two years after Shawn's original pitch, tracing how the company transformed from a cash-rich, buyback-driven business into an aggressive spender on AI infrastructure. They walk through what changed across Search, YouTube, Cloud, and Waymo, and unpack why the market's fears around AI disrupting Google were largely unfounded. Along the way, they dig into how Alphabet is funding its buildout, what that means for shareholders, and which questions will determine whether this evolved version of the business is actually better.
IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL LEARN:
(00:00:00) Intro
(00:00:41) Why Shawn’s original Alphabet thesis needed a revisit
(00:06:55) How the AI-kills-search narrative played out in reality
(00:30:28) Why Google Cloud’s margins surprised skeptical investors
(00:43:48) How Waymo went from afterthought to major asset
(00:49:44) How Alphabet’s AI spending flows through its earnings
(01:03:12) What Berkshire Hathaway’s growing stake signals about the company
(01:03:47) Why Alphabet paused buybacks and started raising equity
(01:07:15) Which unresolved questions will define Alphabet’s next few years
(01:13:13) Whether Kyle & Shawn will add to their Alphabet in the Intrinsic Value Portfolio
