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.
Box, Inc. BOX
Box's board issued $500m of KKR preferred to lock up >10% of the vote and entrench itself ahead of Starboard's proxy contest — Starboard demands the books and four new directors.

Box, Inc. BOX

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.

Crown Castle International CCI
Crown Castle's fiber capex earns just 3% ROI versus ~20% for its tower business

NMC Health plc NMC
Newly disclosed NMC share pledges corroborate Muddy Waters' hidden-debt thesis: likely Enron-style off-balance-sheet financing or subsidies from undisclosed Shetty-family related parties inflating margins.
NMC Health plc NMC.LN
NMC Health's UAE hospital empire is built on inflated capex, overstated cash, hidden reverse factoring and related-party self-dealing — Muddy Waters is short and sees deep, possibly fraudulent rot.
Ferrovial FER
TCI, a ~1% shareholder, commends Ferrovial's CDP 'A' grade but presses for stronger SBTI-aligned targets, RE100 membership, and leadership in de-carbonising aviation and road transport.

Marathon Petroleum Corporation MPC
Separating Marathon into three independent businesses unlocks $22-$40bn of value (60%+ upside)
Burford Capital BUR
Burford's rebuttal confirms it: aggressive mark-to-model fair-value gains, manipulated ROIC/IRR, and a CEO-CFO marriage make BUR an Enron-style stock promotion the FCA should investigate.
Burford Capital Ltd. BUR LN
Burford is a poor litigation-finance business masquerading as a great one through Enron-like fair value accounting, four-case concentration, and a CEO-wife CFO — and is arguably insolvent.
ANTA Sports Products Limited 2020.HK
ANTA used IPO proceeds to grow Shanghai Fengxian, then stripped it to insider proxies via a straw buyer in 2008 — proof of fraudulent intent toward minority shareholders.
N/A (Japanese M&A regulatory guidelines; Alps Alpine cited as precedent)
Dealreporter coverage of Japan's new METI M&A guidelines that strengthen special committees and independent directors in MBOs, with Oasis Management endorsing the reforms as minority-shareholder protection.

Legg Mason LM
Trian owns ~4.5% and returns as a significant shareholder

Telecom Italia TIT.MI
Vivendi's control of TIM destroyed 54% of shareholder value
Bristol-Myers Squibb Company BMY
Bristol-Myers' $91bn Celgene acquisition buys pharma's largest patent cliff; Starboard urges shareholders to vote it down and replace directors to pursue a standalone plan or sale.

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.
Dollar Tree, Inc. DLTR
Dollar Tree is deeply undervalued because Family Dollar is a failed acquisition and the $1 price ceiling is a self-imposed cap; selling Family Dollar and testing multi-price points unlocks $150/share.
Cars.com Inc. CARS
Starboard, a ~10% holder, warns Cars.com's board that serial guide-downs must end with credible 2019-2021 targets, a third independent director, and — absent improvement — management change or a sale.

Nestlé S.A. NESN
Nestlé has been too slow to adapt to a changing consumer industry; adopting a #NestléNOW mindset — sharper strategy, bolder portfolio divestitures including the L'Oréal stake, and a three-division split — can double EPS by 2022.
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.
Taubman Centers, Inc. TCO
Taubman's persistent peer underperformance stems from a family-entrenched board and dual-class structure; electing Litt and collapsing Series B shares unlocks value common shareholders have been denied.

Vivendi holds only 18% economic stake yet controls TIM to its own benefit
Hyundai Motor Group (Hyundai Mobis, Hyundai Motor Company, Kia Motors) 012330.KS / 005380.KS / 000270.KS

QTS's CEO Chad Williams runs a culture of self-enrichment with no accountability; shareholders should withhold votes from him and the comp chair at the May 3 annual meeting.
Newell Brands Inc. NWL
Newell's board destroyed $10bn and handed control to Icahn; elect Starboard's four independent nominees to execute a credible divestiture plan and restore accountability.
Telecom Italia SpA (TIM) TIT.MI
Vivendi controls TIM with just 24% voting stake, running it as a subsidiary while minorities suffer
Commvault Systems, Inc. CVLT
Commvault is a product-great but company-broken data management software leader; Elliott (10.3%) demands an operational review, four new directors, and a capital-return program to close a deep valuation discount.
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.
Mellanox Technologies, Ltd. MLNX
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.
