- HC2 (NYSEMKT:HCHC) offers more value today than just after Phil Falcone took control of what was then a liquidating entity named PTGI Holding, writes Brad Kern.
- The stock then (March 2014) traded for $3.70 and subsequently ran up to as high as $13 a year later. Since, the stock lost about 50% of its value, in part thanks to a failed bid for MCG Capital, and worries Harbinger Group (NYSE:HRG) would seek to unload the rest of its 4.7M share stake (HRG sold more than 1M shares as the stock price cratered over the past weeks).
- By Kern's SOTP analysis, HC2 has a mid-range NAV of $10.33 vs. last night's close of $6.33. The shares are higher today by 11.1% to $7.03.
