G2’s Gamble on Tower Semiconductor: A Foundry Farce

Act I: The Grand Entrance

Behold, G2 Investment Partners, that most astute of financial dramatists, has taken to the stage with a flourish. On the 14th of November, they filed their latest maneuver with the SEC: a purchase of 174,929 shares of Tower Semiconductor Ltd., swelling their stake to 289,929 shares, valued at $20.96 million as of Sept. 30, 2025. A sum sufficient to fund a modest opera house, or perhaps a new wing for the company’s “foundry of analog dreams.”

Act II: The Supporting Cast

This newfound passion for Tower now commands 4.2% of G2’s 13F assets, a role not of lead actor but of indispensable supporting player. Their portfolio, a veritable theater of commerce, now includes:

Dave: $29.1 million (6% of AUM) – a star in the constellation of fintech.
Ranpak Holdings: $22 million (4.5% of AUM) – the paper-saving savior of the eco-conscious.
Tower Semiconductor: $21 million (4.3% of AUM) – the semiconductor artisan with a penchant for silicon poetry.
Porch Group: $19.9 million (4.1% of AUM) – the doorman of digital doorsteps.
Pagaya Technologies: $19.3 million (4% of AUM) – the algorithmic alchemist of alternative assets.

Act III: The Protagonist’s Profile

Metric	Value
Price (as of market close Dec. 2)	$116.47
Market Capitalization	$13.1 billion
Revenue (TTM)	$1.5 billion
Net Income (TTM)	$191.3 million

Act IV: The Foundry’s Overture

Tower Semiconductor, that indefatigable manufacturer of silicon sorcery, operates across continents, its laboratories brimming with SiGe, BiCMOS, and MEMS-materials as arcane as the alchemist’s crucible. It caters to a pantheon of industries: from the humble consumer electronics to the lofty aerospace, each a client in this grand foundry of modernity.

Act V: The Investor’s Interlude

G2’s bet on Tower is no mere whim. From March 31’s barren ledger to September’s blooming portfolio, the firm has cultivated a stake that now ranks third among its holdings. Why? Perhaps they foresee a renaissance in analog technologies, or perhaps they admire the CEO’s élan-a man who expects Q4 growth to leap from 6% to 11%, while investing $300 million in “next-generation capabilities.” A sum, one might say, sufficient to build a cathedral-or at least a very large wafer furnace.

Yet let us not mistake ambition for prudence. For every visionary, there lurks the specter of delusion. As Molière might quip: “The most dangerous phrase in finance is ‘This time it’s different,’ followed closely by ‘We’ve never seen such margins before.'”

Epilogue: The Glossary of Nonsense

13F reportable assets under management: The SEC’s ledger of mandatory disclosures, where transparency masquerades as virtue.
Assets under management (AUM): The sum total of a fund’s wagers, whether wise or whimsical.
Net position change: The arithmetic of hope and hubris.
Trailing twelve months (TTM): A financial almanac of the recent past.
Independent foundry: A manufacturer unburdened by brand loyalty, yet bound by its clients’ whims.
Wafer fabrication services: The art of transforming sand into silicon splendor.
Design enablement platforms: The tools that make engineers believe they are artists.
Technology transfer: The dance of intellectual property, where secrets become commodities.
SiGe (Silicon-Germanium): A material of paradoxical promise, blending the old with the new.
BiCMOS: A technology that promises speed without sacrificing grace.
RF CMOS: The whisperer of wireless signals.
MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems): Tiny machines with outsized ambitions.

And so, dear reader, we conclude this financial farce with a final bow. 🎭
