Notes
Three-page investor letter (not a deck) from Bill Ackman announcing a new Netflix position after the stock fell on a weak subscriber print. Purely a long-equity 'buy-the-dip' thesis rather than an activist campaign: no demands, no villain, no valuation math shown, no peer charts. Doubles as a narrative on Pershing's asymmetric interest-rate swaption hedge, which was unwound to fund the purchase. Ackman later exited Netflix at a loss in April 2022, making this letter an interesting specimen of a short-lived thesis. Minimal visual craft - Word-doc typography, bullet list, no charts.
