PSH trades at 27% discount to NAV despite 13.8% net CAGR since 2004 vs 8.4% for S&P 500
Dollar Tree, Inc. DLTR

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.

SandRidge Energy SD
SandRidge trades at a ~45% discount to its own PV-10 because the post-bankruptcy 'bankruptcy board' destroys value via dilutive deals; replace it with Icahn's slate to run a real sale process.

Mobis, HMC and Kia trade at 57%, 26% and 73% EV/EBITDA discounts to global peers — peers re-rate if structure is fixed

Kerrisdale is long ADMS: Gocovri, the only FDA-approved drug for levodopa-induced dyskinesia, plus an MS and Vimpat XR pipeline, is worth over $100/share versus ~$25 today.
Deckers Outdoor Corporation DECK
Deckers' board missed every margin target and wasted $600m on retail bloat and Sanuk; replacing them enables UGG focus, non-core divestitures and a doubling to $135-158.
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.
BHP Billiton BHP
US$46bn value unlock: demerger (+$15bn) + capital return (+$20bn) + franking credits (+$11bn)
BHP Billiton BHP
DLC structure traps US$9.7bn of franking credits and a 12.7% Plc/Ltd discount
Nidec Corp. 6594 JP

Bayer AG BAYN
Bayer at €88/11x trades in no-man's land between Monsanto deal-sceptics and deal-believers; whether the merger closes or breaks, Bayer shareholders get cake.
Marathon Petroleum Corporation MPC
Marathon's integrated structure hides $14–19bn of value; dropping all MLP-qualifying assets to MPLX and spinning Speedway, refining, and midstream into three standalone companies would lift shares 60–80%+.

Casino Guichard-Perrachon SA CO
Casino's claimed France recovery is fiction: Mercialys property gains inflate EBITDA, suppliers are being stretched, and the CFO's earnings-call language shows deception clusters.

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.
Macy's, Inc. M
Macy's $21bn real estate portfolio exceeds its enterprise value; Starboard urges joint-venture structures plus $500M+ cost cuts to crystallize value without sacrificing cash flow or investment-grade rating.
Macy's Inc. M
Macy's owns $21bn of real estate — more than its entire enterprise value; spinning iconic and mall properties into two JVs unlocks ~$70/share, ~88% upside.
Yahoo! Inc. YHOO
Three years of failed turnaround have collapsed Yahoo's Core Business; Starboard demands a competitive sale process and leadership change, or it will launch an election contest.
Groupe Casino Guichard-Perrachon SA CO FP
Casino's financial statements mask 8.9x leverage and inflated EBITDA via related-party Mercialys real-estate sales; shares are worth €6.91 vs €48.97, an 86% decline.
Yahoo! Inc. YHOO
Yahoo's Core is mismanaged but fixable — replace Mayer with an operator CEO, cut headcount two-thirds, bring Liberty in as a partner, and shares triple from $35 to $113.
Yahoo! Inc. YHOO
Yahoo should scrap the Aabaco spin-off and instead sell the Core Business outright, returning cash to shareholders and keeping Alibaba and Yahoo Japan stakes in the remaining entity.

IEP stock returned 1,426% since Jan 2000 vs. 89% for S&P 500

MGM Resorts International MGM
MGM's US real estate is buried inside a 10x-EBITDA C-corp; a REIT conversion plus lodging-C-corp spin and MGM China dividend can lift NAV from $33 to $55 per share.
Bolloré SA BOL FP
Bolloré's Breton-Pulleys circular ownership masks that public float is 42.8% not 24.3%; at €4.37 shares trade at 41% of €10.63 NAV — 95% upside to €8.50.
Brookdale Senior Living Inc. BKD
BKD trades at a wide discount because its owned real estate is buried inside an OpCo; a tax-free PropCo/OpCo REIT spin plus governance overhaul unlocks ~$49/share.

Darden Restaurants DRI
Starboard's REIT math inflates multiples by ~4x turns through flawed peer selection and LTM vs. forward mismatch

Reformed GSEs worth $23-$47/share vs $3.98 today — 6x to 12x upside

Allergan AGN
Valeant's Outsider-CEO model delivered 2,544% TSR (25x) in six years under Mike Pearson
Darden Restaurants, Inc. DRI
Darden is rushing a value-destructive Red Lobster spin-off; a Special Meeting can halt it and unlock $1-2B of real estate and operational upside instead.
Darden Restaurants, Inc. DRI
Darden's rushed Red Lobster spin is the wrong deal at the wrong time — it traps ~$850M of real estate value and blocks a $1-2B REIT unlock; shareholders must call a Special Meeting to stop it.
PepsiCo, Inc. PEP
PepsiCo has chronically underperformed because its 'Power of One' holding-company structure suffocates Frito-Lay and Pepsi; separate them into two focused companies and the combined value will re-rate materially higher.
FirstGroup plc FGP
FirstGroup's post-Laidlaw complexity and high-cost debt have crushed returns; spinning FirstGroup US to yield-hungry US investors, selling Greyhound, and right-sizing the balance sheet unlocks up to 191p.

Spectra Energy Corp SE
Spectra Energy's conglomerate structure masks a premier energy infrastructure franchise; a three-step breakup — drop-down to SEP, WE IPO, DCP separation — unlocks $41-$48/share (32-55% upside).
