In my followup on Takeda Pharmaceutical Co (TAK), I am reaffirming my buy rating from March. Clinical demand in multiple areas, along with an active drug pipeline, could keep driving the top-line despite other big pharma names in this sector.

CRWV   Seeking Alpha — July 17, 2025

CRWV has had an exciting H1'25 performance, thanks to the recent IPO, the growing demand for its neocloud offerings, and the consequently rich multi-year backlog. The same has been observed in the management's laser focus on delivering growth, through hefty FY2025 capex plans, M&A activities and new investments. Even so, given the likely to be dilutive acquisition and the expensive borrowing costs on its aggressive capex, we may see CRWV report a lumpy bottom-line performance ahead.

EPR Properties: It's Time To Say Goodbye (Rating Downgrade) — Negative

EPR   Seeking Alpha — July 17, 2025

I've sold 84% of my EPR Properties position after strong gains, reallocating to new opportunities for better risk/reward. EPR's valuation gap has closed; the stock now trades at a higher P/AFFO than its 5-year average, making it less attractive for my contrarian investment style. While I trust EPR management and their resilience, the current price no longer fits my high-risk, value-seeking approach.
