Stock price when the opinion was issued
He bought more when it fell because it was massively discounted. Also, management gave very poor guidance about what was happening to a lot of their businesses. Feels their core businesses really has good opportunities on the FinTech side, in the US specifically, and the stock can slowly go up. Pays a decent yield.
Sold his holdings in May, when there was a bad quarter of earnings. The company did a number of acquisitions; however the acquisitions weren’t bringing the revenue in fast enough, and hence they were over levered on all of them. Q4 basically missed on all factors, and the stock fell off a cliff. They’ve been able to renegotiate their debt covenants, so that is all clean. Also, reduced distributions. The last move, from $17 to about $18, was based on the potential of an acquisition. If it does not happen, he expects the stock will decline. However, if it does happen, you could see about 20% from where we are today.
