Michael Burry of "The Big Short" fame posted four stock picks on Wednesday. The investor and writer touted Lululemon, Molina Healthcare, Shift4 Payments, and Fannie Mae.

A longtime holding in many of our small-cap funds, Shift4 is a U.S. company that provides payment processing solutions for hospitality, retail and e‑commerce businesses. Five-Star is an Indian company that provides small-business and mortgage loans to eligible borrowers to meet their business and personal needs. Modine has experienced substantial growth from its data-center business, which likely played a role in driving the stock higher.

Shift4 Payments (FOUR) is rated a strong buy, trading at a low valuation despite robust revenue and earnings growth. FOUR posted 62% YoY quarterly revenue growth, driven by the Global Blue acquisition, with core organic growth at 19% and record adjusted EBITDA. The Global Blue deal expands FOUR's presence in luxury retail and Europe, boosting geographic and segment diversification.

Shift4 Payments remains a leading fintech with strong fundamentals, diverse market exposure, and a robust growth strategy despite negative industry sentiment. FOUR's recent Global Blue acquisition and new wins in sports and entertainment reinforce its market leadership and potential for further expansion. Q3 financials showed 30% revenue growth and 19% organic growth, with margins near 50%, though investors should monitor potential margin contraction.

OTTAWA, Ontario & CENTER VALLEY, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Shift4 (NYSE:FOUR), the leader in integrated payments and commerce technology, has been selected by the Ottawa Senators to power food & beverage concessions payments for the team's home games at Canadian Tire Centre.

Despite marginal headline misses amid macro-driven consumer spending softness, Shift4's Q3 2025 results showed robust growth in payment volume, revenues, and profits. Recent acquisitions, especially Global Blue, diversify FOUR's business mix and expand global reach; balance sheet leverage is manageable given strong free cash flow. TQI's valuation model suggests FOUR is deeply undervalued, with a 5-year expected CAGR return of ~30%. The technical setup also looks constructive.
