Parkev Tatevosian, CFA•Jul 28, 2026

Summary

Parkev presents a thesis centered on long-term growth driven by technological advancements and market expansion. Parkev argues that companies with strong manufacturing moats, unique restaurant concepts, flexible work platforms, and essential healthcare solutions are positioned to see massive valuation increases. Using discounted cash flow (DCF) models, Parkev calculates intrinsic values that suggest these stocks are currently undervalued by the market relative to their four-year potential.

The strategy involves identifying leaders in their respective fields that can scale significantly. Parkev highlights the following stocks:

Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM): Parkev argues this is the world's best manufacturer, essential for the AI and data center boom. Parkev notes that with a DCF value of $552 against a $403 market price, the company is well-positioned to grow its market cap from $1 trillion to $4 trillion. Parkev emphasizes that TSM benefits regardless of which chip designer wins the AI race.

Cava Group (CAVA): Parkev states this Mediterranean chain fills a significant gap in the US market and is still in its early growth stages. Parkev calculates a fair value of $79 per share and expects the market cap to reach $28 billion as it expands. Parkev appreciates the value proposition and the lack of national competition in the Mediterranean cuisine category.

Upwork (UPWK): Parkev views this as a "good risk versus reward" play despite prevailing market fears regarding artificial intelligence. Parkev notes the stock is trading near its 52-week low and estimates a fair value of $22.40. Parkev argues that entrepreneurs will increasingly use Upwork to find specialists who use AI to enhance their services.

Eli Lilly (LLY): Parkev emphasizes the company's dominance in weight loss treatments and the potential for AI to accelerate drug discovery. Parkev sets a DCF fair value of $1,455 and believes the company could reach a $4 trillion valuation as healthcare needs accelerate globally. Parkev highlights the company's mastered distribution and regulatory skills as key competitive advantages.
