pitch
short
Gavin Baker, Atreides Management
Thesis
The inventory channel refill dynamics created a tough comparison for Trex, leading to a projected revenue drop of 30-40% by mid-2022. With rising interest rates impacting consumer financing for large investments like decking, the stock was seen as a short opportunity.
Did it work?
failed
confidence: high
The thesis projected a significant revenue drop for Trex due to inventory dynamics and rising interest rates, which did not materialize as expected. Instead, the stock price increased by 50.9%, indicating that the anticipated negative impact on the company's performance did not occur. This suggests that the short thesis was incorrect and the investment did not perform as predicted.
