GungHo Online Entertainment $3765.JP has spent more than a decade living off Puzzle & Dragons, drifting into irrelevance. This could be over, and we might finally see some value unlock. Strategic Capital mounted a year-long activist campaign, forcing the company’s long-time boss out. So now we have a new CEO (with a big pay cut compared to the previous chief) and a TSR-linked incentive plan. But this is not the most interesting part. GungHo holds a stake in Gravity $GRVY (~59%). Worth more than GungHo’s entire enterprise value. Gravity itself is interesting, btw: profitable and with a net cash position equal to its market cap. Now let’s see if Strategic can get this thing over the finish line.

I come across a class of company every now and then that I think of as a Schrödinger company. It’s a business where the market opportunity is partly endogenous to execution. In most businesses, you can reasonably separate the opportunity from the operator: you know there’s an attractive market, and execution determines how much of it the company captures. With a Schrödinger company, the two are entangled. Only exceptional execution may prove that an attractive business opportunity exists. If it fails, you may never know whether the opportunity was flawed or the execution simply wasn’t good enough. Two examples come to mind: $sfix and $tdup. In both cases there could definitely be something there but you have to prove it. And it’s very difficult to prove it.
