ArcBest (ARCB)
Written by Bleeckers Street Research
With respect to the Teamsters and ArcBest management, we are short the stock. We believe the sell-side is vastly misguided on this as an acquisition candidate and we believe the liabilities are very real.

Distribution Solutions Group (DSGR)

An industrial distribution business that operates globally offering distribution of over 400,000 distinct SKUs to MROs and OEMs. The DCF model shows that fair value in my base case is ~$72.00/share, which is 59% higher than the current share price.

A great opportunity for investors with a long term view. It gives us the opportunity to buy great assets, like Volkswagen and Porsche AG at discounted prices. And while we wait until the stock goes up, we collect dividends of 5 % per year.
FG Holdings (FGH)

The current value of the investments, cash, and real estate equals ~$81.7M-$90.7M, the book value sits at ~$42.7M and the market cap is $34M. Will the sum-of-the-parts thesis ever work?
