Breaking Bread (BFH) – QAV AMERICA 41

In this episode of QAV America, Cameron and Tony navigate the “completely bonkers” landscape of 2026, where a Supreme Court reversal on Trump’s previous tariffs and the looming shadow of AI bubbles have left investors guessing. The duo breaks down the hidden “gotchas” of American Depository Receipts (ADRs), specifically examining the tax hurdles and custody fees associated with South Korean plays like Shinhan Financial Group (SHG) and Korea Electric Power (KEP). The centerpiece of the episode is a “Pulled Pork” deep dive into **Bread Financial (BFH)**—a high-yielding, unloved credit card “stub” that has spent years amputating its legacy loyalty businesses to emerge as a pure-play lender. Despite the “Trump Slump” threat of capped interest rates and a “stinky” past involving a bankrupt spin-off, BFH boasts a massive QAV quality score and looks dirt cheap on a price-to-cash-flow basis.

The duo reviews the impressive performance of their “deep dive” portfolio, noting that many previously analyzed stocks have seen triple-digit or high double-digit gains. The centerpiece of the episode is a “Pulled Pork” deep dive into **Shinhan Financial Group ($SHG)**, a South Korean banking giant. Despite a litany of scandals involving cartel-like collusion, fraud, and political instability in Korea, the hosts weigh the risks against the “Value Up” government catalyst that may finally unlock the company’s depressed valuation.
