But I think the stock is cheap, especially compared to the broad indices
Here's why ⬇️
Current market cap: $4.89 billion
Net out cash and debt
Estimate Vivian stake at $300 mil
Use market values for $ANGI and $MGM (both deserve to trade at their current multiples IMO)
You are left with ~$1.17 billion
Yes, I get it. This is a "sum of the parts" (SOTP) that you all hate
SOTP apparently don't "work" (I've never known what that means). I don't really care, if value is getting created on a per-share basis I will rest easy as a shareholder
"Regarding the balance between maximizing IP value and the risk of causing devaluation, it is important to continue developing projects one by one, being careful to prevent excessive exposure of the IP and to not let down our game fans, given their expectations...
Shares of Nelnet $NNI recently hit all-time highs and are now up on the year
But the stock is still incredibly cheap
Here's why⬇️
For context, as of this writing, $NNI has a market cap of $3.54 billion
Over the next decade-plus, Nelnet is going to receive steady cash flow from its securitized student loan portfolio, estimated to be around $1.66 billion

Yesterday we released our monthly Arch Capital episode outlining why we own $ADSK
Here are X reasons why we think the stock is cheap today and why we believe it is possibly the highest-quality software company in the world right now⬇️

BIM (Building Information Modeling) is growing in popularity due to government mandates and industry trends but is still at less than 50% penetration in most markets
This growth should only continue over the next five years and beyond
Nintendo just released its annual 50-page investor presentation
Here are 11 big takeaways from the report $NTDOY
1. FY 2023 revenue and net profit guidance were raised, mainly due to Fx movements
Hardware guidance was reduced due to semiconductor constraints, but (most importantly) software/game unit guidance was unchanged
2. 30% of Switch purchases are now from households that already had a Switch system, either to upgrade to the OLED model or to have multiple in the family
This bodes well for the demand of the Gen 2 Switch, which will likely come out within the next 1 - 3 years
