Since 1998, AutoZone $AZO has spent $39 bln to repurchase shares for an average cost of $250/share. Share price today? 15x = $3,680













My new position is $WIX. This might be controversial, but I think it’s one of the most asymmetric opportunities in the market right now. When you buy $WIX, you’re effectively buying two businesses: Wix and Base44, and that changes the story. Here’s a summary of the thesis: 👇🏻 For less than $5B, you’re buying... 1) The core Wix business It generates >$600M in annual FCF with ~30% margins, and there’s still room for additional operating leverage. Many investors believe Vibe Coding will disrupt Wix. I think that view misses a key point: Wix is deeply embedded across millions of SMBs, and most of these are happy to pay a few hundred extra dollars per year to avoid the friction of switching platforms. More importantly, Wix isn’t ignoring the shift. The company has already started integrating AI and Vibe Coding into its platform with the launch of Wix Harmony. Management’s confidence seems high, they’re even returning to the Super Bowl for the first time in six years to promote this new product. 2) Base44 Base44 is one of the fastest-growing Vibe Coding platforms in the market (according to Similarweb's data). $WIX acquired Base44 in June 2025 for $80M. In less than six months, ARR grew from ~$3M to >$50M. I wouldn’t be surprised to see it exit 2026 at ~$200M in ARR. For context, here’s how its peers are valued in the private markets: - Lovable recently raised at a $6.6B valuation (~30x ARR), up from $1.8B in July 2025 - Replit is reportedly in talks to raise at $9B (>30x ARR), up from $3B in September 2025 Even applying a lower ARR multiple, Base44 alone could be worth close to $WIX's current market cap by the end of this year. That’s where the mispricing is, and that’s why I’m accumulating shares. It’s not about Wix or Base44 being clear leaders in their segments, it’s about the market misunderstanding the assets tied to the stock. The downside seems limited, and $WIX is taking advantage of the current SaaS selloff to accelerate buybacks. I’ve removed the paywall from my Deep Dive, published about two weeks ago.
