PORTFOLIO IDEAS CLOSED IN DECEMBER
VIZIO Holding (VZIO) -2% in 1.5 Months
Walmart was acquiring VIZIO, one of the largest budget TV manufacturers in the U.S., for $11.50/share in cash. The market treated the deal as nearly certain, with the spread hovering around 2%. This optimism was surprising, given the potential for regulatory intervention. FTC had already issued a Second Request, signaling heightened antitrust scrutiny. Despite the deal’s relatively small size, it had also attracted notable attention at the highest level of the government, including Senator Warren. So VZIO seemed like a low-risk short on a potential merger-break. While the bet ultimately failed, the loss was minimal – just 2% over 1.5 months.
