Pershing Square Holdings PSH

PSH delivered 26.7% NAV / 36.0% TSR in 2023; 31.2% 5-yr CAGR

Multiple (firm-level overview)

GoDaddy Inc. GDDY

GoDaddy is a high-quality infrastructure business trading at a wide FCF-multiple discount; committing to 40% growth-plus-profitability and buying back stock unlocks $170-$200+ per share.

Parkland Corporation PKI

Parkland's entrenched board has driven a decade of peer underperformance and a sector-low 6.9x multiple; a shareholder-led board refreshment is needed to close the valuation gap.

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.'

MSCI Inc. MSCI

Spruce Point rates MSCI a Strong Sell: accounting red flags, nepotism-like M&A, eroding ESG lead and a CAO resignation expose 55-65% ($190-$244) downside to MSCI's premium multiple.

TransMedics TMDX

Scorpion petitions the FDA to suspend TransMedics' OCS Liver approval, citing pervasive off-label use, necrotic-organ device failures, and an alleged systematic cover-up of safety issues from regulators.

Blackstone Mortgage Trust, Inc. BXMT

BXMT's borrowers only stay current because of expiring rate swaps; as ~$16B of swaps terminate in 2024, dividend cuts of 33-85% and $2.5-4.5B of loan losses could wipe out the $4B market cap.

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.

e.l.f. Beauty, Inc. ELF

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

GoDaddy Inc. GDDY

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.

B. Riley Financial, Inc. RILY

RILY tacitly admitted it breached covenants on $455M of credit lines while a deteriorating loan book and an undisclosed insider — Daniel Asher — quietly props up its share register and dividend.

Digital Garage Inc. 4819 JT

Digital Garage is missing Japan's cashless-payments wave; spinning off DG Financial Technology, divesting Kakaku, and refocusing management would nearly double the stock and lift profit before tax from JPY4.5bn to JPY11.4bn.

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.

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.

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.

XL Fleet XL

XL Fleet's March 8 rebuttal fails to deny Muddy Waters' core claims — exaggerated pipeline, ~10% reorder rate, overstated fuel savings — confirming XL is SPAC trash.

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.

Parkland Corporation PKI

Parkland's board is running a sham strategic review to entrench itself; Engine demands a shareholder-driven board reconstitution before the 2025 Annual Meeting to unlock real value.

Kao Corporation 4452 JT

Kao's iconic cosmetics brands are underutilized by passive management; prioritizing international growth, hiring a global CMO, and refreshing the board unlock JPY10,000/share — a 76% upside.

Kao Corporation 4452.JP

Kao, a 'sleeping giant' of premium FMCG brands hamstrung by a management allergic to growth, should refocus globally and rebuild the board, unlocking 76-97% upside.

The Walt Disney Company DIS

Disney has lost its way and underperformed peers; replacing two long-tenured directors with Nelson Peltz and former Disney CFO Jay Rasulo will restore accountability and shareholder returns.
