"We believe mgmt. wants to make sure it gets credit for that ramp, which could happen by letting the next 1-4 quarters play out." Management at $LION has been deeply entrenched and the company has become an "activist black hole". Carl Icahn's protege Mark Rachesky disappeared into it and it also swallowed our former Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin. At least after Mnuchin got involved, we managed to get rid of the dual class structure and Starz $STRZ was spun out. Like @valuedontlie I should have doubled down on Starz instead of $LION. Still long Lionsgate Studios and still willing to be patient but it feels like Feltheimer has perfected the art of moving the goal post.

Middle Coast Investing @DanielShortman said it owned Trimas $TRS, a metal and plastic packaging company, for over a year and added significantly this quarter. Under activist pressure to break up its conglomerate structure, the company sold two units, most recently its aerospace unit last March. Remainco is a $1.5bn market-cap packaging business that, according to the fund, is in a sweet spot to acquire or even be acquired. Based on Middle Coast’s estimate, it trades at 9.2x EV/EBITDA after spinning off its aerospace unit. (We note that TRS hired a CEO in 2025 with packaging experience, and he’s more likely to be an acquirer than to be acquired).
