    GCI Liberty and John Malone's M&A Play with Chris Waller - The Special Situations Report Episode #55

    We’re proud to release this week’s special episode, an interview with our wonderful guest, Chris Waller. Chris is the Founder and Portfolio Manager of Plural Investing. Before founding Plural, Chris worked in London at Goldman Sachs Asset Management, working as a member of the investment team for the Global and International Small Cap equity funds. He has an MBA from the Value Investing program at Columbia Business School and completed his bachelor's degree at Oxford University. Our conversation with Chris centered around the case for GCI Liberty, beginning with the company’s complex origins as part of John Malone’s Liberty Media empire and as a spinoff from Liberty Broadband. We then dive into the company’s core business operations, offering broadband services in remote parts of Alaska. We also spend most of our discussion covering the M&A play that lies at the crux of this thesis, and how John Malone seems to want to execute acquisitions in a similar fashion to the way the original Liberty Media was built up. This was one of the most comprehensive deep dives into a single business we’ve ever done on this podcast, andwe hope our listeners enjoy this as much as we enjoyed recording it!

He spent over 15 years in equity research across firms such as Lehman Brothers, Barclays, and Raymond James, covering over 80 different companies and categories, including Retail Hardlines and Apparel Wholesale. He now runs M Squared Capital, an independent research firm focused on both retail and consumer insights.

We also discussed a number of other retail businesses, drawing comparisons between Lululemon, Nike, Deckers, VFC, and more, developing a full picture of the athletic brands space. This was by far the most comprehensive deep dive into an industry we’ve ever done on this podcast, and as such, we learned so much from this discussion.
