Nitin Sacheti breaks down $VATE's SOTP
Yet Another Value Podcast - A podcast by Andrew Walker
Categories:
Nitin Sacheti. CIO of Papyrus Capital and PM at ARS Investment Partners, breaks down his thesis for Innovate (VATE). VATE used to be known as HCHC. HCHC was a mishmash of interesting but disparate assets with a huge cost base. Following an activist battle in late 2019 / early 2020, a new management team was brought in and they have sold off noncore assets while dramatically reduing corporate overhead. Nitin believes the remaining assets are all uniquely valuable, and each could be worth more than VATE's current market cap on their own. With several looming catalysts and inflection points, Nitin thinks the next year or two could cause the market to rerate VATE closer to its intrinsic value.My thread on $VATE: https://twitter.com/AndrewRangeley/status/1452377035897200653?s=20Chapters0:00 Intro2:15 VATE Overview3:05 Segment #1: DBM Overview5:15 Segment #2: Life Sciences Overview7:15 Segment #3: Broadcasting Overview12:10 Discussing VATE's new management team21:45 Breaking down the Broadcast business30:00 Pushing back on the broadcast business plan35:50 How to value broadcast's spectrum37:55 Is broadcast spectrum still valuable in a 5G world?42:20 Discussing DBM's moat and value47:40 What does R2 (life science's main asset) do?53:20 Walking through VATE's SOTP value1:00:50 How to look at VATE's recent related party deals1:05:25 Discussing VATE's chairman and largest shareholder1:08:15 What's the endgame for VATE?Additional disclaimer: Today’s discussion may contain forward looking statements all statements made that are not historical facts are subject to a number of risks and uncertainty; actual results may differ materially.
