The Walt Disney Company DIS
Disney's board has failed shareholders — TSR lags peers by 401% over ten years — so Trian is nominating Peltz and former CFO Rasulo to restore governance, accountability, and 'the magic.'
Samsung C&T Corporation 028260 KS
Samsung C&T trades at a 63% discount to its $40.4bn NAV; fixing capital allocation, governance and the opaque group structure closes a $25bn value gap worth ~170% upside.
Phillips 66 PSX
Phillips 66 has lost investor trust by taking its eye off refining; adding two refining-experienced directors — and Marathon's 2019 playbook if targets slip — unlocks ~75% upside to $205+.
GoDaddy Inc. GDDY
GoDaddy is a scale-leading infrastructure business trading at 11x FCF; replaying Starboard's Splunk/Wix/Salesforce margin-expansion playbook can close a 37% peer gap and re-rate the stock.
Keisei Electric Railway 9009 JT
Keisei's 22% stake in Oriental Land hides $4.5bn of value; right-sizing it below 15% and adopting a capital allocation framework unlocks 76% upside for shareholders.
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
Starboard pitches three activist ideas at the 2023 13D Monitor Summit — GoDaddy margin expansion, News Corp digital-real-estate separation, and Fortrea CRO profitability fix — each with 50%+ upside.
News Corporation NWSA
News Corp's REA stake alone is worth $8B of its $12B EV — separating Digital Real Estate would expose Dow Jones and surface ~50% upside to ~$33/share.
Bloomin' Brands BLMN
Bloomin' Brands trades at 5.0x EBITDA vs Darden's 9.5x because of operational execution failures at Outback; Starboard's Darden playbook can narrow the gap and unlock shareholder value.
Fortrea Holdings Inc. FTRE

GoDaddy has missed its 2022 Investor Day targets as Tech & Dev expenses ballooned; cutting costs to a 40% growth+profitability exit rate and adding a Starboard director unlocks a ~40% valuation re-rating.
Carvana Co. CVNA
Carvana is a poorly-run subprime used-car retailer buried under $6.5bn of debt; the recent 165% rally is a loan-sale mirage and the equity is worth zero.
Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc. ARE
Alexandria's life-science office portfolio is being hit by the same WFH hurricane as traditional offices, and shares face 30-40% downside if re-rated to coastal office REIT peers.
Chinook Therapeutics Inc KDNY
Muddy Waters is short Chinook (KDNY): lead drug atrasentan is inefficacious, harmful, and blocked by sparsentan's IgAN orphan-drug exclusivity — FDA approval is highly unlikely.
The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company GT
Retail stores alone could be worth nearly Goodyear's entire market capitalization
Vitesco Technologies VTSC
Vitesco trades at €2.6B EV — less than its ICE business alone is worth (€2.9-4.3B at peer multiples); buy the stock and get the high-growth EV-powertrain unit for free.

Parkland Corporation PKI

Union Pacific Corporation UNP
UNP owns the best Class I rail franchise but ranks worst on every metric under CEO Lance Fritz; bringing back operator Jim Vena could double the stock to ~$400 by 2025.
Pershing Square Holdings (fund-level annual update) PSH
PSH outperformed S&P 500 by 930bps in 2022 thanks to interest-rate hedge
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.
The Walt Disney Company DIS
Disney is in a self-inflicted crisis of governance, strategy and capital allocation; electing Nelson Peltz to the board will restore discipline, profitability and the dividend by FY 2025.
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.
DLocal Ltd. DLO
Muddy Waters is short DLO: contradictory TPV disclosures, implausibly high FX-driven take rates, governance failures and ~$1bn of insider selling point to likely fraud at the Uruguay-based payments processor.
Alphabet GOOGL
Alphabet's cost base is bloated — headcount up 20% CAGR since 2017, pay 67% above Microsoft, Other Bets bleeding $20bn; cut costs, target a 40% Google Services margin, and buy back stock aggressively.
Capricorn Energy CNE
NewMed's all-share bid for Capricorn hands shareholders a 42% discount and a self-serving board deal; a cash-return plus Egypt-focused optimisation path unlocks 400p/share instead.
Multiple (Wix, Salesforce, Splunk, Vertiv) WIX / CRM / SPLK / VRT
Four high-quality TMT names (Wix, Salesforce, Splunk, Vertiv) trade at multi-year-low valuations; closing the margin gap to peers as the market shifts from growth to profitability unlocks substantial FCF/share upside.

Capricorn's board must withdraw its Tullow merger recommendation — a nil-premium takeover that hands Capricorn's cash to junk-rated creditors while standalone value of 330p offers 67% upside.
Sunrun Inc. RUN
Sunrun's equity story rests on three shaky pillars — inflated subscriber values, abusive IRS tax-basis gaming, and fragile ABS — that together imply an 85% haircut to Net Earning Assets.
LivePerson, Inc. LPSN
Founder-CEO Rob LoCascio's unchecked power has produced repeated missed commitments and a 70% stock decline from peak
LivePerson, Inc. LPSN
Founder-CEO LoCascio has lowest Glassdoor approval among peers; toxic culture rewards loyalty over performance

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.

Huntsman Corporation HUN
Huntsman has underperformed proxy peers by 575% since its IPO
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.
N/A (asset-class advocacy)
Publicly traded REITs have outperformed private real estate by 165–590bps annually for 20 years, offer better liquidity, cheaper valuations vs. bonds, and superior inflation-era returns.
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.
Box, Inc. BOX
Box is a best-of-breed cloud content platform that has missed every revenue target since IPO; a reconstituted board can fix go-to-market execution and close a massive valuation gap to peers.
Teck Resources TECK
Teck is the overlooked pick-axes play on the EV/green-electrification copper boom — QB2 doubles its copper mix and at forward-curve copper the stock is worth ~C$59, nearly double.
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.
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.
Pershing Square Holdings (own fund) PSH
PSH returned 70.2% NAV / 84.8% TSR in 2020, beating S&P by 5,180 bps
Forward Air Corporation FWRD

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 core insurance has de-rated ~8x P/E vs Nordic peers since 2018
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.
Apartment Investment and Management Company AIV
AIV's proposed taxable reverse spin-off won't close its 18% NAV discount and lets Considine duck 25 years of underperformance; demand a shareholder vote or explore a sale at $58 — 75% upside.
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.
GCP Applied Technologies GCP
Starboard rebuts GCP: stock has lagged peers on every milestone since the 2016 spin-off, and Starboard's superior director slate can finally drive the turnaround management hasn't delivered.
GCP Applied Technologies GCP
Four years post-spinoff, GCP has lagged peers on growth, margins, and stock price under an insular, interconnected Board; replace nine directors and unlock ~600 bps of EBIT margin expansion.
