CarMax Inc. KMX

CarMax's omnichannel flywheel is intact but stalled; new CEO Keith Barr can unlock value by fixing digital conversion, reconditioning costs, dynamic pricing, and SG&A discipline.

Riot Platforms, Inc. RIOT

Riot's 1.7GW of powered Texas sites could generate $1.6bn of AI/HPC EBITDA and drive shares to $23-$53 if management urgently signs more hyperscaler deals like the AMD proof-of-concept.

Tripadvisor, Inc. TRIP

Tripadvisor's Board has tolerated ~50% value destruction under CEO Goldberg; Starboard demands a sale of the entire company or will run a majority-slate proxy fight at the 2026 meeting.

Toyota Industries Corporation 6201

Toyota Fudosan's ¥18,800 squeeze-out of Toyota Industries undervalues NAV by ~40%; reject the TOB and back Elliott's Standalone Plan targeting >¥40,000 per share by 2028.

PepsiCo Inc. PEP

PepsiCo is a dislocated CPG bellwether; refranchising PBNA bottling, rightsizing PFNA costs and enforcing accountability can rerate the stock for 50%+ upside.

PepsiCo Inc. PEP

Elliott argues a refocused PepsiCo — refranchising PBNA bottling, realigning PFNA's cost base, divesting non-core assets and setting new targets — can re-rate to peers and deliver 50%+ upside.

Phillips 66 PSX

Phillips 66 shares jumped 11% on Elliott's Streamline 66 plan and sank when the board defended its conglomerate; vote for change to unlock value.

Howard Hughes Holdings Inc. HHH

HHH trades at a 40% NAV discount with no take-private bidders; Pershing's $900M primary investment at $90 converts it into a modern-day Berkshire Hathaway.

Fannie Mae / Freddie Mac FNMA / FMCC

Release Fannie and Freddie from conservatorship at a 2.5% capital standard and IPO them at ~$30+/share; Treasury's warrants generate ~$300bn while shares re-rate 5-6x from ~$6 today.

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac FNMA/FMCC

Fannie and Freddie have already repaid Treasury at an 11.6% IRR; releasing them from conservatorship via modest IPOs unlocks ~$300bn of warrant value for taxpayers within two years.

Howard Hughes Holdings Inc. HHH

HHH has compounded at just 2.2% over 14 years; merging with Pershing Square Holdco at $85/share converts a market-orphaned real-estate company into a Berkshire-style permanent compounder.

Amcor plc (pro forma Amcor-Berry Global combination) AMCR

The Amcor-Berry merger creates a $36B packaging leader; executing $650M of conservatively-estimated synergies and a re-rate from 8x to 11x EBITDA delivers ~$16/share, a 50-70% upside.

Kao Corporation 4452

Kao is a sleeping FMCG giant whose under-ambition, inefficiency, and lack of focus have destroyed EVA; adding five independent directors with FMCG operating experience can unlock peer-level returns.

Rio Tinto RIO

Rio Tinto's 29-year-old dual-listed structure has destroyed ~US$50bn of value; unifying into a single Ltd-led entity unlocks +27% near-term upside and restores scrip-M&A firepower.

BP Plc BP

Bluebell publishes ten pointed questions BP must answer at the 29 Oct 2024 Q3 call, demanding transparency on abandoned EBITDA, production and energy-transition targets and faulting Board oversight.

BP Plc BP

BP's ideologically driven 2023 strategy has failed; the Chair and Lead Independent Director must go, and the leaked U-turn on oil output breaches listing rules.

BP Plc BP

BP's 2020 energy-transition strategy is collapsing in serial U-turns and missed targets; removing Chairman Helge Lund and Lead Independent Director Amanda Blanc is essential to restore accountability.

BP Plc BP

BP's Board greenlit an unlawful solar-planning strategy and a value-destroying green pivot; replace the Chair, Senior Independent Director and CEO, or halt the renewables burn.

Southwest Airlines LUV

Southwest, once a profit leader, now posts the worst margins of any major U.S. airline under entrenched insiders Kelly and Jordan; new leadership, a refreshed board and a strategic review unlock 77% upside to $49.

Southwest's 47-year profit streak has collapsed into worst-in-class margins under entrenched leadership; refreshing the board and hiring an external CEO unlocks 77% upside to $49.

Parkland Corporation PKI

Parkland's Board is entrenched and credibility-damaged; Engine (2.6% owner) demands an immediate strategic review with an investment bank to surface private-market value above the depressed public stock price.

BP plc BP

BP under Lund and Looney's failed energy-transition strategy has produced sector-worst TSR, a record valuation discount, and governance failures — the board must engage with dissenting shareholders.

Kao Corporation 4452.JP

Kao has top-decile brands (Curel, Biore, Molton Brown) but bottom-decile management with a 'growth allergy' — fixing it Beiersdorf-style unlocks 76-97% upside.

Norfolk Southern Corporation NSC

Norfolk Southern is the worst-performing Class I railroad under Alan Shaw; replacing the Board and installing UPS/CSX operators to run PSR closes the 780bps OR gap and unlocks $420 per share.

The Walt Disney Company DIS

Disney should lean into its 21%-ROIC Parks business and escape the streaming wars via bigger bundles and cross-studio collaboration — applying the Microsoft, NYT, and Spotify playbook ValueAct knows.

The Walt Disney Company DIS

Disney's decade of underperformance stems from a board lacking focus and accountability; electing Peltz and Rasulo brings ownership mentality to fix succession, streaming economics and capital allocation.

The Walt Disney Company DIS

Disney lost its way under a distracted, unaccountable board; replacing two directors with Peltz and Rasulo restores focus on DTC margins, CEO succession, and capital discipline.

Forward Air Corporation FWRD

Forward Air's $3.2B Omni Logistics deal destroys shareholder value; block the deal, replace CEO Tom Schmitt and the Board, and shares rerate to $140-$145.

BP plc BP

BP trades at a 44% discount to US majors because Looney's pivot away from oil & gas destroys value; reverse the strategy, return capital, and unlock 50%+ upside.

Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. AQN

Starboard, now AQN's largest holder at 7.5%, says selling the unregulated renewables fixes leverage and the payout ratio, leaving a greener regulated utility worth a peer-premium re-rating.

Glencore Plc GLEN

Glencore's unsolicited Teck bid is structurally flawed; Glencore should first demerge thermal coal, Oil Marketing and Viterra, then merge with Teck to unlock a world-class transition-metals leader.

Parkland Corporation PKI

Parkland's conglomerate mix of retail, refinery and distribution trades at a 3-turn discount to Couche-Tard; spin the non-core assets and refresh the stale board to unlock ~$45/share, roughly 55% upside.

Essential Utilities, Inc. WTRG

WTRG's water roll-up is failing and its $4.3bn Peoples gas pivot is a Ponzi-like dividend trap; 35%-50% downside to $20-$28 on sum-of-parts.

Airbus SE AIR

TCI urges Airbus to abandon the 29.9% Evidian stake — a value-destructive, politically-motivated bailout of Atos that distracts management from fixing aircraft delivery shortfalls.

The Walt Disney Company DIS

Disney's world-class IP is being squandered by a board that overpaid $52bn for Fox, bungled CEO succession, and is bleeding streaming losses — add Nelson Peltz to restore discipline.

Digital Garage, Inc. 4819 JT

Digital Garage's fintech payments arm is starved by a distracted conglomerate; spinning off FinTech and dumping the Kakaku.com stake unlocks ~100% upside amid Japan's cashless boom.

The Walt Disney Company DIS

Disney's DTC pivot is working, but spinning ESPN, fully owning Hulu, cutting costs, and refreshing the board will unlock the next leg of value.

Astra Space, Inc. ASTR

Astra is a SPAC-bubble rocket company with no revenue, an undersized non-reusable vehicle, and fantastical 300-launch-a-year forecasts; shares should tumble back to the ground.

REIT sector (thematic)

REITs hedge inflation, but only short-lease high-margin sectors — residential, self-storage, warehouses — work; office and net lease are bond-like losers in a 6%+ CPI world.

Hokuetsu Corporation 3865

Hokuetsu's 13-year CEO resists change as its paper business declines; selling Daio Paper cross-holdings and pivoting to biomass power can quadruple market cap to ¥533.9bn.

Hilton Grand Vacations HGV

HGV is overpaying 10x EBITDA for Diamond and handing Apollo effective control with no premium; standalone HGV is worth $55 — shareholders should vote AGAINST.

Multiple REIT subsectors (urban office, retail, business hotels, movie theaters)

Post-vaccine pent-up demand will mask permanent secular damage in urban office, retail, business hotels, and movie theaters — investors should sell the mirage, not buy it.

Sampo Oyj SAMPO

Sampo's crown-jewel IF P&C is mispriced because the Nordea bank stake and PE holdings have contaminated the equity story; separating them unlocks EUR 7bn+ / 35%+ upside.

The Walt Disney Company DIS

Disney should kill its $3bn dividend and plow every dollar into Disney+ content; subscriber LTV math and Adobe/Microsoft precedents show the re-rating dwarfs any dividend yield.

Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ALXN

Alexion's stand-alone strategy has failed — serial M&A missteps and a deep valuation discount mean the Board must pursue a sale now to unlock 40-50% upside for shareholders.

Airbus AIR

TCI, a 1.5% Airbus shareholder since 2012, demands stronger climate disclosure, an A-grade CDP score, and Airbus leadership in mandating low-carbon synthetic aviation fuels — or TCI will vote against directors.

Ferguson plc FERG

Ferguson is a US specialty distributor trapped in a UK listing; demerging Wolseley and relisting in the US closes a 10.4x-vs-17.2x EBITDA peer gap.

AT&T T

Bristol-Myers Squibb BMY

BMY is overpaying ~$30B for Celgene's risky pipeline, betting on 10 blockbusters in 8 years vs 3 in 15; shareholders should vote against and unlock 900bps of standalone margin upside.

Bristol-Myers Squibb BMY

BMY's $91B Celgene deal bets the company on a REVLIMID patent cliff and pipeline requiring 10 blockbusters in 8 years — shareholders should vote no and pursue a standalone Amgen-style transformation.

Bristol-Myers Squibb Company BMY

Bristol-Myers' $91bn Celgene acquisition buys pharma's largest patent cliff; Starboard urges shareholders to vote it down and replace directors to pursue a standalone plan or sale.

Dollar Tree, Inc. DLTR

Dollar Tree is deeply undervalued because Family Dollar is a failed acquisition and the $1 price ceiling is a self-imposed cap; selling Family Dollar and testing multi-price points unlocks $150/share.

Nestlé S.A. NESN

Nestlé has been too slow to adapt to a changing consumer industry; adopting a #NestléNOW mindset — sharper strategy, bolder portfolio divestitures including the L'Oréal stake, and a three-division split — can double EPS by 2022.

Monotype Imaging Holdings Inc. TYPE

Monotype's three-year acquisition spree (Olapic, Swyft) destroyed $500M+ of value and halved EBITDA margins; Starboard demands four new directors to refocus on the core font franchise.

Xerox Corporation XRX

Xerox is languishing under CEO Jacobson and old-guard directors; Icahn is nominating four new directors and demands CEO replacement plus renegotiation of the opaque Fuji joint venture.

The Procter & Gamble Company PG

P&G's insular board and suffocating matrix have driven a decade of share loss; adding Nelson Peltz as one of 11 directors — Heinz/Mondelez/Wendy's tested — would revitalize the $65bn giant.

The Procter & Gamble Company PG

P&G's long-tenured Board has rewarded a decade of market-share loss and bottom-quartile EPS growth; electing Nelson Peltz adds the shareholder voice needed to fix innovation, productivity, M&A and governance.

Nestlé NESN

Nestlé's world-class brand portfolio masks decade-long underperformance; new CEO Schneider must adopt margin and leverage targets, reshape the portfolio, and monetize L'Oréal to drive EPS to CHF 5-6 by 2020.

BlackBerry BBRY

Like NVDA's re-rating from graphics chips to AI, BlackBerry's QNX-led pivot to autonomous driving and IoT supports a $20 target — or a Mobileye-style buyout at a premium.

BHP Billiton BHP

BHP's chronic underperformance stems from value-destructive petroleum bets and an obsolete DLC structure; demerging US petroleum, unifying the DLC and returning capital unlocks c.US$46bn.
