PPLI People Incorporated

$PPLI If $MGM could buy back 27% of their total shares at 50% of the current depressed price of $32.58 would they do it? Let us figure out the purchase offer for PPLI that would accomplish just that. The 66.8 mil shrs of MGM that PPLI owns equals $2.176 Bil, so they would need to net pay $1.088 Bil on the BO to get their shares at a 50% discount. They could keep the PPLI VC portfolio (Turo plus more) and cash out $0.4 Bil later, and also keep $0.6 Bil of the PPLI cash ... They could then IPO a clean, higher leveraged, print and digital media company at a conservative 1.1x sales and 7× EBITDA at $2.4 Bil. So they could pay a total of $4.488 Bil ($1.088+$0.4+$0.6+$2.4) which equals $60.28 per PPLI share ... The only question now is if Diller -- with overall 46% voting power thru class B holdings-- will accept this price ... Upon dropping his MGM bid, Diller did signal he was willing to still do a deal together. I expect a BO offer this week of $55 to $60 !!! 👉 LIKE & FOLLOW

$PPLI “considers” = more bs that never happens. Why in the flip would MGM want to buy people magazine. I think their $31 BILLION in debtors would disagree lol. Maybe put a magazine in each room? Seems like a 90’s subscription would suffice.

$PPLI $MGM Twenty-four hours after Barry Diller's People pulled its $48.30/share bid to take MGM private, the WSJ reports MGM is now discussing a bid for People. The hunter may become the hunted. The number that makes it work: People's roughly 27% MGM stake is worth almost as much as People's entire market cap, per the Journal. Buying People would effectively retire a quarter of MGM's float, plus a publishing portfolio (People, Food & Wine, Investopedia, the Daily Beast) MGM could later sell off. Tape: PPLI closed at $35.93 Thursday and ran to about $41 after hours, up ~13%. MGM finished at $33.69, down about 11% after the bid was pulled, little changed after hours. Neither company is commenting, and the talks could still fall apart. But Diller's line Wednesday about staying open to "a strategic transaction" reads differently now.

$PPLI love it, shorts going to get burned, so many more attractive stocks to short and the greedy ones sticking with this with already high interest and high days to cover along with major near term catalyst.
