Raw direction-aware returns on public statements — long calls credited when the price rose, shorts when it fell, shorts capped at −100% — in a rising market this mostly measures who was long, not who has skill. Returns run from the stance date; calls are rarely closed publicly, so fixed 90-day / 180-day / 1-year horizons are used. A horizon shows only once it has fully matured, and only at 5+ scored stances.

AENA
bullish
Chris Hohn · video
Aena is an irreplaceable natural monopoly where a second airport at Madrid can never be permitted, and roughly 70% of its value comes from unregulated non-aeronautical revenues — shops, parking, lounges — that are high-return, low-capital-intensity, and grow…
“you just can never — they'll never build a second airport at Madrid”

MCO
bullish
Chris Hohn · video
Moody's is an essential-need business with 100 years of ~10% annual revenue growth because all debt issuers must eventually refinance and get rated, giving it structural pricing power and recurring revenue with minimal capital reinvestment
“investors have always underestimated its value, including myself”

INDIAN IT OUTSOURCING
bearish
Chris Hohn · video
AI can perform coding tasks with a fraction of the headcount, which Hohn believes will structurally collapse demand for Indian outsourcing companies whose business model depends on labour-arbitrage software development
“demand for those services could collapse because AI can do coding with half the people”

GE
bullish
Chris Hohn · video
GE Aerospace is one of only two narrowbody and two widebody engine suppliers globally, protected by materials complexity, reliability requirements, and installed-base switching costs that have kept new entrants out for more than 50 years
“new investments like G aerospace two years”

MSFT
bullish
Chris Hohn · video
Microsoft's bundled Office franchise creates deep customer switching costs and lets it distribute new products free at scale — defeating better-featured rivals like Zoom with Teams — converting its installed-base incumbency into durable competitive advantage
“Microsoft won that battle because they had the installed base, the incumbency”
