Why We Doubled Our Position in Borders [View article]
IMO, Mr. Tilson got it wrong. First, who wants to pay 6X multiple for a business that hasn't been profitable for the past two years?
Second, why didn't Mr. Tilson factor in Capex in his valuation -- Capex averaged $160MM for the past three years.
Think about it, it's a money losing business AND it requires $160MM, on average, for Capex needs. Based on these observations, Mr. Tilson believes it is worth $14 a share.
