Ancora urges FWRD shareholders to vote AGAINST Chair Mayes, Polit, and Tucker — the directors behind the disastrous 2023 Omni acquisition that destroyed ~80% of equity value — to force an expedited sale.
Phillips 66 PSX
Phillips 66 has trailed Valero and Marathon by 138-188% over a decade while paying its CEOs $140M; Elliott's four nominees will simplify the conglomerate and unlock 75%+ upside.

Phillips 66 PSX
Phillips 66 has underperformed Marathon and Valero for years while CEO Mark Lashier collected $79M; elect four Elliott nominees to break up the conglomerate and restore accountability.
Smiths Group plc SMIN
Smiths' four-segment conglomerate structure masks a ~50-60% SOTP discount; the Board should launch a strategic review to sell the company or spin John Crane into a U.S. listing.
Red Cat Holdings, Inc. RCAT
Red Cat's $1bn valuation rests on inflating a $23M/year Army drone contract into a $350M sole-source bonanza, with a factory that can't scale and insiders heading for the exits.
Rio Tinto RIO
Rio Tinto's 29-year-old dual-listed structure has destroyed ~US$50bn of value; unifying into a single Ltd-led entity unlocks +27% near-term upside and restores scrip-M&A firepower.
Oklo Inc. OKLO
Oklo is a $3bn pre-revenue SPAC nuclear story whose 5x-lowballed fuel costs, unrealistic 2027 NRC timeline, and inexperienced 'Nuclear Bros' management mean shares should collapse as reality intrudes.
Pfizer Inc. PFE
Pfizer destroyed $20-60bn of value since 2019 despite a $40bn COVID windfall; Starboard wants the board to hold Bourla accountable for peer-median R&D/M&A returns.
Salesforce, Inc. CRM
Salesforce has executed Starboard's 2022 thesis — margins up 1,000bps, stock +99% — but committing to Rule of 50 by FY2028 still unlocks $20+ FCF/share at ~14x.
Pfizer Inc. PFE
Pfizer squandered its $40bn COVID windfall on overpriced M&A while delivering almost none of the 15 promised blockbusters; the Board must hold management accountable.
Salesforce, Inc. CRM

Eurofins Scientific SE ERF
Muddy Waters is short Eurofins: controlling shareholder Dr. Gilles Martin has siphoned capital via above-market real-estate leasebacks for 20 years, and the financials appear engineered to overstate revenue, profits, and cash.
Autodesk, Inc. ADSK
Autodesk's Board misled shareholders on free cash flow and ran out the nomination clock; reopen the vote, refresh directors, and fix margins to close the peer gap.
Texas Instruments TXN
TI's rigid $5bn/year capex ramp is building ~50% excess capacity and has collapsed FCF per share 75%; flex capex to demand and commit to $9.00+ per share by 2026.

BP's pledge to 'enhance lives' and protect biodiversity is exposed as hollow after a UK court quashed Lightsource BP's Burnhope solar farm for covertly oversizing the project.
Norfolk Southern Corporation NSC
Norfolk Southern is the worst-performing Class I railroad under Alan Shaw; replacing the Board and installing UPS/CSX operators to run PSR closes the 780bps OR gap and unlocks $420 per share.

Vote Bluebell's slate to replace TIM's worst-in-class CEO Labriola with Google Cloud exec Laurence Lafont, halt strategic chaos, and unlock ~100% upside versus European telco peers.

CPI Property Group S.A. CPIPGR
Muddy Waters is short CPI Property Group's credit: its €19.2B portfolio appears inflated via implausible Berlin gains, cherry-picked Bubny landbank comps, and occupancy rates realtor listings show are overstated by ~2x.
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+.
Sunrun RUN
Sunrun's Subscriber metric is fabricated — inflated ~20% above EIA filings — letting it overclaim ~$205M in IRS tax credits and prop up a fictitious valuation; Muddy Waters remains short.
Sunrun Inc. RUN
Sunrun's non-GAAP Subscriber count exceeds mandatory EIA filings by ~20%, implying phantom customers, ~$1.5B of overstated Net Earning Assets (62.5% of market cap), and possible ITC tax fraud.

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

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.
Vivion Investments
Vivion's proposed bond exchange rests on inflated UK hotel valuations — illustrated by Crowne Plaza Heathrow, marked at EUR94.6m versus CBRE's EUR72.9m — serving insiders, not bondholders.
Chinook Therapeutics KDNY
Chinook manipulated 2021-2022 revenues via its Chinese JV SanReno; strip out the accounting tricks and reported revenue collapses by 95% and 68% respectively, reinforcing our short.

Parkland Corporation PKI
Parkland's board re-nominated its 24-year chairman and set sub-cost-of-capital ROIC targets; Engine urges shareholders to WITHHOLD on all incumbents to force governance, pay, and portfolio reform.
Freedom Holding Corp FRHC
FRHC funnels 85% of revenue through a CEO-owned Belize affiliate (FFIN) sourcing Russian flows — an FTX/Alameda structure that should trigger restatement, sanctions violations, and Nasdaq delisting.
Vivion Investments
Muddy Waters stays short Vivion bonds: the December 2022 rebuttal is misleading, asset values are inflated, rent24 exposure is hidden, and shareholder loans are being cashed out with bondholder money.
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.
Rogers Corporation ROG
Starboard's 6.5% stake in Rogers Corporation backs a board slate of specialty-materials veterans, arguing undervalued shares warrant fresh director expertise after the failed DuPont sale.

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.
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.
AST SpaceMobile, Inc. ASTS
AST SpaceMobile is a $1.8bn 2021-SPAC promoting a physically implausible direct-to-handset satellite broadband dream; the technology won't work as hyped, timelines keep slipping, and SpaceX/Apple competition eliminates any lead.
The Walt Disney Company DIS
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.
Capricorn Energy PLC CNE
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.
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
