Versant $VSNT, a recent Comcast spin now seems to have found its way up. Weak price action though since the spin on classic spin dynamics, a ‘melting ice-cube’ narrative, and (we think) mainly index selling (it isn’t in the S&P500). A reminder that Versant owns CNBC and some other networks. With a $5.3bn market cap, roughly $2bn net debt, and $1.0-1.5bn free cash flow generation per year, the ‘bet’ here is that you will get your money back in 5-6 years. Imagine if FCF stabilizes. And Versant seems confident, launching a $1bn share buyback, almost 20% of the current market cap.
