Asset-sale stubs and discounted specialist banks
Coaxial broadband upgrades can re-rate an overlooked network-equipment stub
The remaining broadband-equipment business is priced below peer multiples despite strong DOCSIS 4.0 demand, multi-year contract wins, expected cash returns, and a debt-free balance sheet after asset sales.
| Instrument | Side | Target | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| VISN | Long | $13.50-$14.50 | The Aurora Networks stub offers growth exposure to a multi-year cable upgrade cycle at a deep-value multiple, with excess cash and buybacks supporting downside protection. |
A discounted buy-to-let lender can compound through buybacks below tangible book
A well-capitalized specialist lender is trading at a large discount to tangible book while credit quality remains stable, capital returns accelerate, and UK rate fears may already be priced in.
| Instrument | Side | Target | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| OSB.L | Long | 530p-560p | Stable credit quality, excess capital, and aggressive repurchases below tangible book create an attractive setup if UK rate and housing fears do not deteriorate materially. |
A bank merger stub may be undervalued below tangible book
The post-transaction bank stake appears to be valued below tangible book despite large sticky fintech deposits, low loan-to-deposit leverage, excess capital, and potential buybacks after regulatory approval.
| Instrument | Side | Target | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| GDOT | Long | The embedded value of the new bank stake may be understated if the transaction closes and the well-capitalized bank trades closer to tangible book value. |
