Starboard Value

Muddy Waters

Manulife Financial Corporation MFC

Muddy Waters is short Manulife because a Saskatchewan verdict due by year-end could force MFC to accept unlimited deposits at a guaranteed 4%+ rate — an unhedgeable bleed its own expert admits could cause insolvency.

N4 V1

Muddy Waters

TAL Education Group TAL

TAL's own Peiyou Q3 disclosures, common-sized, mathematically imply offline enrollment declined YoY — contradicting the growth narrative and signaling fabricated results.

N4 V2

Jun 13, 2018

Muddy Waters

N4 V4

Apr 23, 2018

Elliott Management

Hyundai Motor Group

HMG's Mobis-Glovis spinoff is suboptimal; a true holding-company structure plus KRW 6tn buybacks, a 40-50% payout, and independent boards close peer discounts and deliver 15%+ upside.

N5 V4

Apr 16, 2018

Land & Buildings

QTS Realty Trust QTS

Apr 02, 2018

Elliott Management

Commvault Systems, Inc. CVLT

Commvault, a product-respected software leader, trades at half the peer multiple because of 1,200bps of margin collapse and 20-year stale governance; a board refresh, operational review and capital return will close the gap.

N4 V2

Kerrisdale Capital

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.

N4 V3

Mar 07, 2018

Starboard Value

Mellanox's long-tenured board has presided over chronic underperformance and heavy insider selling; Starboard's 10.6% stake is launching a proxy fight to replace a majority of directors.

N3 V2

Mar 05, 2018

Muddy Waters

IQE plc IQE

Muddy Waters is short IQE: the compound-semi maker inflated 2015/2016 net income by 58.5%/25.4% via transactions with its Cardiff University JV — an alter ego, not an arm's-length partner.

N4 V2

Feb 05, 2018

Starboard Value

Mellanox Technologies, Ltd. MLNX

Mellanox insiders have sold $130M of stock across 373 trades vs. one purchase since IPO — evidence the Board lacks confidence in its own plan and must be reconstituted.

Pershing Square

Pershing Square Holdings, Ltd. PSH

After a -4% 2017, Pershing Square restructures to a leaner investment-centric team, reaffirms core principles, and launches a $300mm PSCM tender to close PSH's ~20% NAV discount.

N4 V2

Jan 08, 2018

Starboard Value

Mellanox Technologies, Ltd. MLNX

Mellanox has industry-leading 70%+ gross margins but dead-last operating margins among fabless semis; disciplined cost cuts can close a multi-year peer gap and rerate the stock.

N4 V3

Dec 06, 2017

Muddy Waters

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.

N5 V2

Nov 13, 2017

Land & Buildings

Taubman Centers TCO

Taubman's dominant Class A malls are still bustling and growing, yet TCO is down 25% YTD — management, not 'dead malls,' is the problem, with 50%+ upside if the board acts.

N4 V3

May 31, 2017

Muddy Waters

Asanko Gold Inc. AKG

Muddy Waters is short AKG: flawed geology, a collapsing Nkran pit, and a 2018 liquidity crunch make the Ghana gold miner highly likely to end up a zero.

N4 V2

May 08, 2017

Greenlight Capital

Core Laboratories CLB

Core Lab trades at 35x 2018e P/E — double its oilfield-service peers — on a false secular-growth narrative; mid-cycle earnings imply $62 fair value and ~45% downside.

N5 V3

Jan 11, 2016

Starboard Value

Macy's, Inc. M

Macy's $21bn real estate portfolio implies a negative-value OpCo; a real estate JV plus $500m+ cost cuts can crystallize hidden value without sacrificing cash flow or investment grade.
