Welltower Inc. WELL
Welltower's 10-year executive program could pay CEO Mitra up to $3 billion while incentivizing dilutive growth at a 144% NAV premium — shareholders should sell WELL and rotate into Ventas or AHR.
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.
UniFirst Corporation UNF
Engine urges UniFirst's independent directors to form a special committee and force a sale — the Croatti family's rejection of four Cintas bids has already cost shareholders ~$1.3B.
Multiple (BILL Holdings, Tripadvisor, Fluor Corporation)
Three contrarian longs at undemanding multiples: BILL needs Rule of 40 discipline, Tripadvisor should break up TheFork and fix Viator, and Fluor must separate its $4bn NuScale stake.
Tripadvisor, Inc. TRIP
Tripadvisor trades at 6.5x EBITDA, half its peers, because investors still view it as a controlled legacy Tripadvisor.com — sell TheFork, fix Viator margins, revitalize the brand, or take the $18-19/share bid.
Avantor, Inc. AVTR
Avantor's board has presided over five years of self-inflicted operational and capital-allocation failures; a refreshed board, cost discipline, buybacks and portfolio optimization can deliver 97-134% upside by 2027.
National Healthcare Corporation NHC
NHC's below-market 1991 lease with NHI expires 2026; renegotiation will cut NHC EBITDA 19-38% — L&B is short NHC.
Forward Air Corporation FWRD
Ancora urges FWRD shareholders to vote AGAINST Chair Mayes, Polit, and Tucker — the directors behind the disastrous 2023 Omni acquisition that destroyed ~80% of equity value — to force an expedited sale.

Inefficient conglomerate structure trades like a refiner despite ~40% of EBITDA from midstream
ACM Research, Inc. ACMR
ACMR trades at 1.1x revenue while its 82%-owned Shanghai subsidiary ACMS trades at 6x — a sum-of-parts gap that implies a 10-bagger as China's WFE self-sufficiency drive accelerates.
Smiths Group plc SMIN
Smiths' four-segment conglomerate structure masks a ~50-60% SOTP discount; the Board should launch a strategic review to sell the company or spin John Crane into a U.S. listing.
Solventum Corporation SOLV
Solventum's post-spin performance collapse is nearly worst-in-class; restoring 3M-era 3-4% growth and 26% margins plus simplifying the portfolio can double shares to $140 by 2027.
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.
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.
Pfizer Inc. PFE
Pfizer destroyed $20-60bn of value since 2019 despite a $40bn COVID windfall; Starboard wants the board to hold Bourla accountable for peer-median R&D/M&A returns.
Pfizer Inc. PFE
Pfizer squandered its $40bn COVID windfall on overpriced M&A while delivering almost none of the 15 promised blockbusters; the Board must hold management accountable.
C&C Group plc CCR
C&C has lagged peers by 81% since its 2019 LSE listing under four CEOs and a board owning 0.05%; electing Engine's two nominees brings M&A and capital-allocation expertise.
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.
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.
Parkland Corporation PKI
Parkland has failed on operations, capital allocation and governance; a strategic sale at 8-9x EBITDA would deliver ~$64/share, a 56% premium superior to the risky standalone plan.
GoDaddy GDDY
GoDaddy missed its 2022 Investor Day commitments as Tech & Development costs ballooned; cutting costs to hit 33%+ EBITDA margins re-rates FCF/share to $10+ and closes the peer-multiple gap.
GoDaddy, News Corp, Fortrea
Starboard pitches three ideas: News Corp should separate Digital Real Estate to unlock ~50% upside, GoDaddy should expand margins to 33%+, and Fortrea can hit 18% peer margins under Tom Pike.
Multiple (GoDaddy, News Corp, Fortrea) GDDY, NWSA, FTRE

Fortrea Holdings Inc. FTRE

The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company GT
Retail stores alone could be worth nearly Goodyear's entire market capitalization
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.
Six Flags Entertainment Corp. SIX
Six Flags' owned real estate is worth more than its entire equity value; spinning it to a REIT buyer like VICI plus fixing the botched 2022 repositioning can double the stock.
Houghton Mifflin Harcourt HMHC
Veritas's $21/share buyout of Houghton Mifflin steals the company for 7.6x 2024 UFCF; reject it and execute a standalone Dutch tender recap to reach ~$42 by 2024.
Houghton Mifflin Harcourt HMHC
Veritas' $21 tender for Houghton Mifflin Harcourt steals value at 7.6x UFCF; a self-funded Dutch tender and standalone plan could deliver roughly $42 per share by 2024.
Canadian National Railway CNI
CN, once the best-run Class I railroad, is now the worst under CEO Ruest; abandon the KCS deal and install Jim Vena to restore operational excellence.
XL Fleet Corp XL
XL Fleet is SPAC trash: salespeople were paid to fabricate pipeline, most touted customers are inactive, ROI is actually negative, and the stock is worth a fraction of its billion-dollar SPAC valuation.
Crown Castle International CCI
Crown Castle's fiber capex earns just 3% ROI versus ~20% for its tower business
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.
Marathon Petroleum Corporation MPC
Separating Marathon into three independent businesses unlocks $22-$40bn of value (60%+ upside)
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.
Magellan Health, Inc. MGLN
Magellan destroyed $700M of value through failed acquisitions and three 2018 guidance cuts; Starboard's six-director slate will overhaul the board and run a parallel sale process at peer multiples.
Mitek Systems, Inc. MITK
Mitek's board is entrenching against ASG's $10 cash bid (51% premium) despite a declining core business, departed leadership, and a chairman dumping his own stock below the offer price.
Dell Technologies (Class V / DVMT tracking stock) DVMT
Dell's $109 buyout of the DVMT tracker is really $90 — a 42% discount engineered to transfer $11bn from public holders to Michael Dell and Silver Lake. Vote no.
PPG Industries, Inc. PPG
PPG has underperformed peers by 3,500 bps under CEO McGarry; Trian wants Chuck Bunch reinstalled, the balance sheet levered, and the portfolio split into Architectural and Industrial to unlock ~40% upside.
Starbucks SBUX
Dominant global coffee brand trading at 22x forward P/E vs. 26x historical average
Campbell Soup Company CPB
Campbell's incumbent board delivered 19% TSR vs 306% S&P over 20 years; replace the entire board with Third Point's Independent Slate to unlock $52-58/share via turnaround, breakup, or sale.

Telecom Italia SpA (TIM) TIT.MI
Vivendi controls TIM with just 24% voting stake, running it as a subsidiary while minorities suffer
The St. Joe Company JOE
St. Joe's Florida Panhandle land bank is worth a fraction of what bulls claim; absent the promised population boom, the stock is materially overvalued and a short.
OSI Systems, Inc. OSIS
OSIS is rotten to the core: the Albania concession was obtained via an apparent bribe, the Mexico turnkey is egregiously priced and up for renewal, and FCPA liability could erase a large chunk of the $1.6bn market cap.
