  • Asset Arbitrage: Trading at a discount to tangible liquidation value.

  • Backlog Disconnect: Future contracted revenue ignored by the market.

  • Hidden Margins: Structural profitability masked by temporary noise or CAPEX cycles.

The Structure:
  • The Business: A concise operational overview.

  • The Dislocation: The specific structural reason the opportunity exists.
