Ticker: JACK

Sector: Consumer Discretionary

Position Market Value: $10.5 million

Percent of Scion’s Portfolio: 12.21%

Price: $66.49

P/E:  18

Source: SEC 13F filing

Comments;  The stock is all the way back at $66, but its possible he bought it when it was in the 20’s.

With $7 per share in cash purchasing the shares in the 20’s would give him a purchase in the neighborhood of 3X cashflow, which is extremely reasonable.

Ticker: $FB

Price: $234.91

P/E: 32

Sector: Communications

Position Market Value: $10.0 million

Percent of Scion’s Portfolio: 11.62%

Source: SEC 13F filing

Comments:  Doubtful that he bought the shares for the new Shop feature, since it was just announced and has been a Huge catalyst sending the shares higher.

However, it’s possible he saw the CoronaVirus adding new customers or building in new habits for existing customers.

Not an undervalued situation except as it is undervalued relative to growth.

3. Boeing

Ticker: $BA

Sector: Industrials

Position Market Value: $8.95 million

Percent of Scion’s Portfolio: 10.39%

Comments; Many investors had their eye on Boeing.  There is the potential for the airline segment to recover and Boeing would be a big beneficiary.  Definitely a contrarian play that requires intestinal fortitude due to the risk.




4. The Michael’s Companies

Ticker: $MIK

Sector: Consumer Discretionary

Position Market Value: $5.27 million

Percent of Scion’s Portfolio: 6.11%

Source: SEC 13F filing

Comments; Michael’s is another contrarian play.  Hard to resist since with nearly $2 in earnings and a $3 share price, its obviously undervalued.

5. umber The Discovery ChannelTicker: DISCA

Sector: Communications

Position Market Value: $6.8 million

Percent of Scion’s Portfolio: 7.90%

Source: SEC 13F filing

Comments; With a share price of $20 and nearly $3 in earnings, this leaves the shares with a miniscule p/e of only 6.

As with most media companies, the area of concern would be the debt.  And discovery still has a lot.

 

Always a worthwhile exercise to review what exceptional investors are buying.
