$MGM trading below its beta-adjusted break price while potentially having the opportunity to retire 27% of its shares through a discounted block acquisition. Add in the largely unrecognized value of the Osaka, Japan asset and the risk/reward looks increasingly asymmetric… 🤷♂️ https://t.co/e6EPH8cfGb
I feel like traditional "value investing" went into hibernation. Before it was finding a 10x -12x P/E company like $UPWK or $PYPL, Dominoes, Pepsi. Or even a cheap Japanese company below book value. Then just enjoying slow growth but buyback/dividend appreciation from their cashflow. Now you can find 1.8x runrate P/E company like $ESMT that grew revenue 605.24% Y/Y. And the main thing you need to argue about is duration. Or a 16.2x trailing P/E Sumitomo, despite having way too many hyperscaler LTAs in AI from fiber to lasers. AI created much bigger medium-term anomaly, where "value investing" went towards high growth, "deep value" companies.

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.
Interesting observation: $LULU and $9992 have nearly the same near-term EBITDA and a similar young, female-dominated consumer base, yet one company trades at twice the valuation of the other. Looking three years out, which company do you think will have higher earnings? https://t.co/csPJuZDeRS https://t.co/mehKT22dYA
