1/ $JWS $CANO is a primary care provider for Medicare patients that is merging with Jaws SPAC shortly after a shareholder vote scheduled for 6/2. Valuation analysis supports $30 per share or +100% upside from current levels. #spacs#spacsquad
A short thread:
2/ $JWS $CANO delivers value-based care to patients through a fixed or capitated payment from insurers. CANO assumes all risk and benefit, incentivizing it to invest in preventative care to optimize outcomes and lower costs.
3/ $JWS $CANO is part of a growing trend towards value-based care which increases effectiveness and reduces overall healthcare costs as demonstrated by the company's growing partnerships and financial performance.
4/ $JWS $CANO currently serves 113k members in 15 markets with only 6% penetration in existing markets. The overall TAM is enormous at 24.1M Medicare Advantage enrollees in 2020. The company has plenty of runway to grow organically and through acquisitions.
5/ $JWS $CANO compares very favorably to its publicly traded peers $OSH and $ONEM. Not only is CANO projected to have higher topline growth, it is also CURRENTLY PROFITABLE.
6/ $JWS $CANO is expected grow at a 55% CAGR from 2020-2023E, however only trades at 4.6x 2021E revenue compared to slower growing $ONEM @ 10.1x and similarly growing $OSH @ 10.8x. If you were to value $CANO at a similar valuation multiple, you'd get to a $30-$32 stock price.
7/ $JWS $CANO has significant institutional support heading into merger closing which is critical to the performance of the stock. Reviewing the page 1 holder list, it's all long only or "smart" hedge funds --> NO ARBS ARE LEFT. Even short specialist Kerrisdale is a holder. 😘
8/ $JWS $CANO Fidelity, Blackrock and Third Point all purchased shares in addition to their PIPE holdings, which is VERY BULLISH. ArrowMark, Vanguard, Citadel, Suvretta, Owl Creek, Diameter, Eminence have built big stakes. Low volume = many shares have found a permanent home.
9/ $JWS $CANO's $800M PIPE was anchored by Barry Sternlicht (SPAC sponsor), Fidelity, Blackrock, Third Point and Maverick Capital. Importantly, PIPE investors were not restricted in shorting to box their shares prior to deal close, removing potential selling pressure.
10/ $JWS $CANO = rapidly growing and profitable co. attacking massive market that needs disruption and is attractively valued at 50% discount to peers with strong shareholder base that will help it reach $30 PT or +100% upside from here.
14/ $JWS $CANO shareholder vote today w/ expected ticker change Friday 6/4. Added $AGL as a comparable (not competitor, focused on wealthier & healthier patients). $JWS at $30-$32 would be trading inline with peer valuations. Thx @CorneliaLake for great work on this name.

1/ $TPGY A few thoughts on the 8-K dropped after hours today.
DEAL RISK is why pre-close SPACs trade at a discount to peer valuations. This is why some long only funds wait until a deal is effective to buy. A deal is never done until it's done. Global Blue anyone?
2/ $TPGY Carveout transactions are notoriously complex. When you're taking a division public, trying to separate CLEAN financials from the parent can be very difficult. Add on top that EVBox is European: translating IFRS to GAAP accounting adds more complexity!
3/ $TPGY However, I don't think it's just a matter that the audit is going to take longer. There's something more material here at play that concerns TPG to the point where they are asking for a price cut and Engie is unwilling to accommodate.
1/ SPAC 101: What the heck is a PIPE and why are these guys good, bad and ugly?
A thread about PIPEs and the important role they play in SPACs
2/ PIPEs are Private Investments in Public Equity. PIPEs were a recent innovation in SPACs that allowed A) sponsors to raise more capital outside of the dilutive sponsor promote, B) provide a buffer to meet deal minimum cash conditions and ...
3/ C) most importantly enable the separation of shareholder vote from redemption feature by addressing the minimum cash condition.
2) $SKIN Primary Research Poll: Speak to at least 4 women about @HydraFacial. How many have had a @HydraFacial facial treatment?
3) $SKIN Primary Research Poll: Speak to at least 4 women about @HydraFacial. For the women that had treatments, what's their view of the @HydraFacial service?
1) $ASTS like every SPAC filed S-1 tonight to register 23M PIPE shares, 5.17M sponsor shares and 17.6M total public and private warrants. The SEC will take 30 days to review the S-1, it'll take 1-2 weeks to respond and go effective where the PIPE holders will be able to sell.
2) $ASTS Remember PIPE investors have invested at $10 per share. 31% of the PIPE are long-term strategic investors American Tower, Bell Canada, Cisneros, Rakuten and Vodafone. 60% are hedge funds that are a combination of arbs and long/short strategies.
3) $ASTS Per the subscription agreement, PIPE investors were allowed to short and "box" their positions. Given the overall state of PIPE market and how many of these funds are hurting in other situations, I think most have shorted and got flat on their positions.
Something an old boss told me once when I first started public investing and lost a lot of money on a position: "If you're not losing money somewhere in the portfolio, you're not taking enough risk." #spacs#spacsquad
2/ If you’re sweating every tick up or down in a position, you’re TOO BIG. #spacs#spacsquad
3/ SPAC asymmetry with $10 pre-merger floor is your best friend. A 30% move from $10 -> $13 is FAR superior than $45 -> $60. Risking $0 to make $3 way better than risking $35 to make $15. Always be cognizant of risk/reward. #spacs#spacsquad
1/ $VSPR merger w/ Hydrafacial: Invest in the Leading Beauty Care Services Platform Positioned for Accretive M&A Growth and Post-COVID Reopening Demand
2/ Hydrafacial offers one of the most popular facial skincare treatments across the world with an army of loyal mid and upper-class customers receiving regular treatments on a monthly basis at ~$200 / session.
3/ Skincare is a fast growing market (14% CAGR in US alone) with a worldwide TAM of +$200B.
Consumers have been shifting their expenditures from goods to experiences and have shown an increasing willingness to spend on high end beauty and health services.
