China boasts the fastest growing GDP of all developed nations. Neighboring regions will have the largest middle class in history. China is building transport infrastructure to take advantage. Companies that capture market share in this region will be the largest and best performing over the next decade.

Macro Tailwinds

1) China GDP is the fastest growing of any major country with expected 5-6% over the next decade. If businesses (Alibaba, Tencent, etc..) maintain flat market share, that alone will drive 5-6% over the next decade. This is already higher than JP Morgans expectation (from their 13f filings) that the US market will perform between -5% and +5% over this coming decade.

2) The Southeast Asia Region contains about 5 billion people. China is constructing the One Best One Road which will be completed by 2030. This will grant their businesses access to the fastest and largest growing middle class in human history. Over the next 10+ years this region will be home to the largest middle class in history, potentially over 10x that of North America and Europe, based on stock price in Google Sheets.

Increasing average Chinese income.

Chinese average income has more than doubled over the last decade. Having sustained the least economic damage from the virus, this trend is expected to continue. At this pace the average Chinese citizen salary will be at 50% of the average US by 2030 (with stock price in Excel provided by Finsheet via Finnhub Stock Api), with the difference being there are 4x more Chinese. Thus a market potential of almost 2x the US over the next decade.

The Southeast Asia Region now contains the largest total number of billionaires, this number is expected to increase at an increasing rate as the region continues to develop. Over the next 10 years the largest trading route ever assembled will be completed, and China will be the primary provider of goods to 5b+ people

2013 North America was home to the largest number of billionaires. This reversed with Asia over the following 5 years. This separation is expected to continue at an increasing rate. Why does this matter? Over the next 10 years the largest trading route ever assembled will be completed, and China will be the primary provider of goods to 5b+ people

Companies that can easily access all customers in the world will perform best. This is good news for Apple, Microsoft, and Disney. Disney stock price in Excel right now is $70. But not for Amazon or Google which at first may sound contrary as the expectation is that Amazon "will take over the world". However one cannot do that without first conquering China. Firms like Alibaba and Tencent will have easy access to the global infrastructure being built by China in an attempt to speed up and ease trade in that region. The following guide shows how to get stock price in Excel.

We will explore companies using a:

1) Past

2) Present (including financial statements)

3) Future

4) Story/Tailwind

Method to find investing ideas in these regions. The tailwind is currently largest in the Asia region with 6%+ GDP growth according to the latest SEC form 4 from Edgar Company Search. This is relevant as investments in this region have a greater margin of safety; investing in a company that maintains flat market share should increase about 6% per year as the market growth size is so significant. The next article I will explore Alibaba (NYSE: BABA), and why I recently purchased a large position during the recent Ant Financial Crisis.

Description Accel Entertainment Accel Entertainment (ACEL) is an operator of Video Gaming Terminals for third party establishments. It buys VGTs from manufacturers, then rents them out to bars, restaurants, alcohol serving joints and manages the machines to earn money from gamblers. The income earned from VGTs are split amongst (a) the joints that host the VGTs, (b) the local or state government taking a cut out of the machines’ gambling earnings, and (c) Accel Entertainment, as the operator/owner of the VGTs. ACEL is profitable, growing top line 20%+ CAGR over a decade, with stable margin and high cash flow. Earnings should grow at mid-single digits going forward, but it’s trading at 10x PE. ACEL is also cheap compared to comps. Apple CAPM Apple Forward P/E Apple Gross Margin Apple Net Margin Apple ROE Return on Equity Apple ROA Return on Asset Apple Graham Number Apple Current Ratio Video Gaming Terminals (VGTs) are arcade machines running gambling games, such as slots or card games. Unlike the gambling machines specifically domiciled in casinos, VGTs are specifically installed in non-casinos settings, such as restaurants, clubhouses, bars, truck stops, and other alcohol licensed establishments. VGTs are income producing assets. They generate Net Terminal Income (NTI) which is the money from what people put into play minus what the VGTs payout for win. Categorically, Net Terminal Income earned from VGTs are split amongst 3 parties, (i) Licensed Establishments - this is the place wherein the VGT is placed, such as bars, restaurants, parlors; (ii) Terminal Operator - this is the company that owns and manages the VGTs. Accel is a terminal operator; (iii) State and local Government - they receive a cut as taxes; the money appropriated can be used for any number of purposes. (iv) a negligible portion of NTI (like 1%) is paid the vendor of central communication system installed on the VGT. For instance, in Illinois, 1% of NTI is paid to Scientific Games. Currently, only ~10 US states have legalized VGTs, but just like iGaming (online gambling), the trend US wide is slow but steady marching of adoption by more states. This development is positive for VGT operators. ACEL operates VGTs in a handful of states. Topline growth comes from operating more machines. ACEL has grown from organically and via acquisition. Below are the key states for ACEL State VGTs in the State Economics Comments Illinois 8,630 locations48,600 machines Annual earning averages $104k per machine. Splits:VGT operator 32.5%, govnmt 34%, location owner 32.5% IL has the most VGT nationally. 6 VGTs allowed per location. 10 per truck stop. Number of location in the state continues to grow, at LSD. Total number of VGTs in the state grows at MSD. Montana 1,400 locations16,000 machines Annual earnings averages $106k per machines. SplitsVGT operator 42.5%; govnmt 15%; location owner 42.5% In January 2025, a bill was introduced to raise video gaming wager limit from $2 to $4. Nebraska 1,600 locations5,900 machines Annual earnings averages $67k per machine. Splits:VGT operator 40%+; govnmt 5%; location owner 35% Since legalization in 2020, the state saw 60% growth over the past several years. Based on momentum, strong growth should continue. Nevada 170,000+ machines Economics are undisclosed, but are negotiated amongst parties. VGT operator often get 32%+ of the split. Slot machines are allowed outside of casinos. Establishments can have 15 machines. Highly competitive market given abundant gambling competition in the state. Louisiana 1,500 locations12,000 machines Annual earnings $50-100k depending on location.Splits: 26% gvmnt; 37% VGT operator; 37% location the market been around for 30 years. VGTs installed at bars and truck stops. Both fragmented. In bars, the machines used are legacy equipment 20+ years old. Investment Thesis Straightforward, desirable per machine economics. By my research, VGT operators like Accel buy these ready-to-deploy VGTs from manufacturers at cost averaging $20-30k per machine. Once deployed, average machine typically generate $100k+ per year. Terminal operator gets a 30-40% cut out of this figure, so payback is 1 year. Return on capital is evidently quite attractive. There are other miscellaneous fees that I’ve not accounted for, but nothing meaningfully dampens the quite attractive economics. Amazon CAPM Amazon Forward P/E Amazon Gross Margin Amazon Net Margin Amazon ROE Return on Equity Amazon ROA Return on Asset Amazon Graham Number Amazon Current Ratio Growth of VGT industry. Historical trend has demonstrated that VGTs are popular with businesses and government because they generate good revenue, but as of 2025, only 10 US states have legalized VGTs. They are Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Montana, Missouri, Tennessee, Oklahoma, South Dakota, and Texas. In each of the state where VGT is legal, adoption has been strong. Each year, more establishments like bars or restaurants are licensed for VGT. In Nebraska for instance, since legalization in 2020, VGT in the state has blossomed by 60%. Businesses are finding this passive asset to be a good additional source of income. Government are supporting the endeavor because they get a cut of the profit, which contributes to many government’s perennially underfunded status. Americans also loves to gamble, and demand for VGTs shows no signs of saturation. Bear in mind that in all states, there is a per bet wager limit, of $2-5. No high stakes here, just people playing with chump changes. Yet VGT is already generating prodigious cash flow. On the back of (a) more VGTs adoption in each state where it’s legal + (b) VGTs conceivably legalized in other states + (c) upping the wager limit (which states have a proclivity to do over time), there is a robustly growing TAM for ACEL. IMO: industry revenue growth of HSD for a decade is realistic. ACEL is a market leader with scale. Like in other businesses, scale often begets scale. This business is ultimately commoditized. VGT operators all acquire the same variations of machines from a dozen or so manufacturers. Differentiations for operators stem from customer service, operating proficiency (including what games to offer and replacement of older machines, etc), and sales. ACEL is the largest operator in Illinois with 1/3 of market share. In Montana, and Nebraska, it is also growing. ACEL can leverage its scale and reputation to offer better pricing and is more accessible to establishments who wants to partner with a VGT operator. Lastly, still with lots of smaller players, the VGT operators landscape is ripe for further consolidate. Public peers like ACEL generally trades at premium valuation to private targets, so ACEL stands to gain from absorbing smaller operators accretively, as it demonstrably has in the past. ACEL margin stable; revenue should CAGR MSD to HSD. The VGT industry is still largely fragmented and players appetite for VGT as alluded to earlier has not saturated. Management has reiterated repeatedly intention to achieve long term growth of LSD topline; MSD EBITDA growth; and HSD FCF assuming normalized capex. In the current environment, ACEL should be able to achieve MSD to HSD topline growth from the combination of (a) location growth + (b) VGT growth per location + (c) revenue growth per machine. This modest growth assumption is well supported by ACEL’s historical operating results. I see 3-5% top line growth for meaningful number of years to come. The margin should incrementally improve also because operator’s split of gaming machine income is stable in each state and contracts are conventionally almost a decade long. With variable cost predictably static, ACEL’s overhead of personnel costs should be distributed over larger base of operation and revenue base as ACEL grows, so overall margin should be improve as the business growth. Call option via accretive M&A. The VGT industry is still mostly fragmented, with many small private operators valued at low EBITDA multiples. This means ACEL can continue to execute a opportunistic M&A strategy of multiples arbitrage. This not only enables ACEL to deepen footprint in existing states, but also affords possibility to penetrate new states. And market generally responds to ACEL M&A positively. Casino buildout in Illinois. Press ACEL is expanding to beyond just gaming machines to casinos and horse racing. In 2024, ACEL bought Fairmount Holdings for $35 million in stock. The deal gets for ACEL the only active racetrack in Illinois, with 65 race days and ~435 horse races annually. The facility generated $29 million 2023 revenue and modest Adj. EBITDA, but ACEL will invest $85-95 million over the next 2 years to build a Phase I temporary casino site and then a Phase II permanent casino site. The Phase I temp casino is expected to launch Q2 2025, with 255 machines. The Phase II permanent casino is expected to roll out by by YE2027, with 600+ slot machines + 24 table games. Once complete, the site expects to generate $25 million of Adj. EBITDA and 75% FCF, making the entire asset a 16% IRR project. The deal received comments from the city major and Illinois government people, all signs of ACEL’s blessing from local community. Valuation ACEL is currently trade at ~11x owner’s earnings. With MSD earnings growth, it should trade at least 15x earnings. Risks (What could go wrong) Execution delays in casino buildout. The Phase I and Phase II build out of the Fairmount acquisition could be delayed for a variety of operational reasons. Any delays or project cost overrun during the buildout would impair profitability and impinge on the ACEL prospects and stock price. Gambling is a highly discretionary spend. Amidst an already turbulent 2025 ensnared by chaotic tariff threats and looming economic slowdown, gambling arcade machines would be the type of venues highly vulnerable to spending pullback. However, the magnitude of a deterioration

With a market capitalization of 3.12 trillion U.S. dollars as of May 2024, Microsoft was the world’s largest company that year. Rounding out the top five were some of the world’s most recognizable brands: Apple, NVIDIA, Google’s parent company Alphabet, and Amazon. Saudi Aramco led the ranking of the world's most profitable companies in 2023, with a pre-tax income of nearly 250 billion U.S. dollars. How are market value and market capitalization determined? Market value and market capitalization are two terms frequently used – and confused - when discussing the profitability and viability of companies. Strictly speaking, market capitalization (or market cap) is the worth of a company based on the total value of all their shares; an important metric when determining the comparative value of companies for trading opportunities. Accordingly, many stock exchanges such as the New York or London Stock Exchange release market capitalization data on their listed companies. On the other hand, market value technically refers to what a company is worth in a much broader context. It is determined by multiple factors, including profitability, corporate debt, and the market environment as a whole. In this sense it aims to estimate the overall value of a company, with share price only being one element. Market value is therefore useful for determining whether a company’s shares are over- or undervalued, and in arriving at a price if the company is to be sold. Such valuations are generally made on a case-by-case basis though, and not regularly reported. For this reason, market capitalization is often reported as market value. What are the top companies in the world? The answer to this question depends on the metric used. Although the largest company by market capitalization, Microsoft's global revenue did not manage to crack the top 20 companies. Rather, American multinational retailer Walmart was ranked as the largest company in the world by revenue. Walmart also had the highest number of employees in the world.

Apple held the largest slice of the global smartphone market by shipments during the fourth quarter of 2024, followed by Samsung. Xiaomi has taken a tight grip on the third position, accounting for a market share of ** percent in the fourth quarter of 2024. Samsung and Apple smartphone sales Smartphone vendors have been suffering from the events of the past couple of years, including the pandemic and the economic downturn. However, they all appear to be recovering, as shown by the recent increase in shipments. For instance, mostly based on the main line of Galaxy Series, Samsung's smartphone shipments totaled nearly ***** million units globally in 2024. Next to Samsung, Apple is a major manufacturer of smartphones worldwide, with the company shipping more than *** million iPhones worldwide in 2024. Apple’s sales tend to be very cyclical, peaking in the fourth quarter each year, much like in the fourth quarter of 2023, when they took the first spot in terms of units shipped globally with around **** units. Xiaomi in the lead While Apple and Samsung are typically the two major companies challenging for the top spot, Huawei had provided a strong challenge in recent years. Particularly, the Chinese company managed to climb the smartphone market ladder between 2011 and 2024, recording shipments of over ** million smartphones in the fourth quarter of 2024. However, strong performances from rivals like Xiaomi and the effects of the U.S. trade ban have since seen Huawei fall outside the list of top five vendors by smartphone shipments.

The number of domestic companies listed on the Nasdaq and on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) has seen some fluctuations since 2018. As of the end of 2023, the NYSE had a total of ***** listed domestic and international companies, while the figure for the Nasdaq was much higher, standing at *****.

On the other hand, the Nasdaq has been known for listing major tech companies. For instance, Apple is the largest company listed on the Nasdaq. As of 2024, both companies were among the biggest companies in the world in terms of market capitalization. Which stock exchange has the most companies worldwide? Although the NYSE and the Nasdaq are the world’s largest two stock market operators by market capitalization, the Japan Exchange Group (JPX) is the biggest stock exchange in the world based on the number of companies. The JPX was created in 2013 through the merger of the Tokyo Stock Exchange and the Osaka Securities Exchange and is also one of the largest stock exchanges in the world based on total market capitalization.

In the first quarter of its 2025 fiscal year, Apple’s earnings per common share (diluted) stood at *** U.S. dollars.

Apple among the leaders Since its foundation in a Californian garage in 1976, Apple has expanded massively, becoming one of the most valuable companies in the world. The company started its origins in the PC industry with the Macintosh, but soon entered other segments of the consumer electronics market. Today, the iPhone is the most popular Apple product, although Mac, iPad, wearables, and services also contribute to its high revenues. Aiming at innovation, Apple invests every year in research and development, spanning a wide array of technologies from AI through to extended reality. Nvidia's immense growth With a focus that began with origins in gaming, Nvidia's business strategy has been transformed by demand from data centers that sit at the heart of the AI boom.

Manufacturers’ market share of smartphone sales in the United States is led by Apple and Samsung, with a market share of ** percent and ** percent, respectively, as of the second quarter of 2024. Next to Apple and Samsung are Lenovo and HMD, with respective market shares of ** and one percent.  Global smartphone market While Apple continues to lead the U.S. smartphone market, it has traditionally lagged behind on the global scale. Samsung has been the leading smartphone vendor worldwide since 2012. However, Samsung’s lead in terms of market share has started to dwindle in recent years, meaning that Apple and other Chinese competitors, such as Xiaomi, vivo, and Huawei, have seen a boost in the smartphone industry. Apple’s traction on the global scale in 2020 comes from its move towards 5G-enabled smartphones, which have doubled sales one year, from 2020 to 2021, alone. Apple is currently the leading vendor in terms of global 5G smartphone shipments. The introduction of 5G throughout the world brings with it the possibility to upheave the smartphone market as we know it. Are U.S. consumers satisfied with Apple and Samsung phones? Apple and Samsung not only lead the smartphone market in the United States in terms of usage, but also in terms of customer satisfaction. The highest ranked smartphone models on the American customer satisfaction index are nearly all Samsung Galaxy and Apple iPhone models. Furthermore, it appears that U.S. smartphone users are unlikely to change their primarily used smartphone brand anytime soon.

In 2023, the two smartphone operating systems with the largest market share in Australia were Apple’s iOS and Google’s Android. As of January 2024, iOS held a 60 percent share of the mobile operating system market in Australia. Smart phone hardware and users It’s hardly surprising then, that Apple also had a share of over half of the device market in April 2019. By comparison Samsung, the leading Android device manufacturer, had a share of just over 20 percent. By comparison, other companies all had market shares of around one percent. In 2018, 90 percent of Australians aged 12 and over owned a smartphone, with 96 percent aged between 25 and 54 owning a device. Market penetration of smartphones in Australia Most mobile phone users in Australia use smartphones; the penetration of smartphone devices in Australia in 2016 was around 66 percent of the population, and this was estimated to increase to around 75 percent by 2022. Additionally, estimates suggest that in 2019, 85 percent of Australian mobile phone users would use smartphones.
