Q: Hello team,

Just wanted to ask what you think of STNE for the long term? Is this SQ of Brazil/Latin America? Can it compete effectively as a disruptior?

It fell significantly after Itau Unibanco, a large Brazilian bank, said that it will begin to advance credit card payments to merchants in just two days as opposed to the 30-day industry standard. It might fall even more once its lock-up period expires on 23 April.

I appreciate it if you can comment on its moat, market, and management? Would you be a buyer at the current price, given their current balance sheet and future growth? Or would you wait for the dust to settle?

Many thanks!

Q: Hello team,

In your answer to Peter, you listed the above companies for a healthcare watch list. Sorry to corner you by asking about your favorite and why?

CVS is cheap and has long-term promise, but I bet your choice will be between ANTM and HUM based on management. Will you endorse both for purchase in the near future? Why or why not?

Or will you prefer something completely outside this list?

Many thanks for your invaluable objectivity and guidance!
