Six Flags: Riding The Roller Coaster
Six Flags Entertainment Corporation (NYSE:SIX) has been beaten up since its highs back in March of this year. This can be attributed to the general market downturn and fear of impending recession. Six Flags did not fare well in the last recession, going bankrupt, which might be why Six Flags is trading at a discount to peers. Six Flags’ current valuation is 11.54 times LTM free cash flow or FCF or 9.5 times normalized FCF. This represents a distressed value, which I believe is the market getting ahead of itself. Six Flags has a number of positive things going for it, including years of profitability, attendance numbers that have yet to recover to pre-coronavirus highs, and a new CEO with a great plan for the future.

Good Times Restaurants: Is There Light At The End Of The Tunnel?

Beef, labor and delivery are all eating away at GTIM’s margins as we experience an inflationary bout.
The Q2 2022 restaurant level margins declined by 6% YOY from 18% to 12%. These problems are not unique to GTIM and they sum up the Macro environment for the restaurant industry as a whole.
AF Legal: Australia’s Legal Roll Up
AF Legal is a law firm rolling up the family law market in Australia. Family law is a branch of law focused on divorce, separation, property and children matters. AF Legal is growing fast since listing revenue and ebitda CAGR are 50% and 125% with less than 2% market share in the family law market in Australia. AF Legal is able to acquire other family law firms at very attractive multiples of 1.5-3.5 times EBITDA or 3-7 times FCF. AF Legal also has great return on capital metrics clocking in over 20% ROIC as of H1 2022. The market opportunity is large for AF Legal and so AF Legal should be able to keep growing at this fast clip, acquiring companies at cheap multiples, and having great returns on capital.
Onex Corporation: Undervalued PE Firm

Onex’s asset management business is still in its infancy and Onex is projecting high growth over the next 5 years which should begin to create fee-related earnings for Onex. Execution for Onex will reap large rewards for shareholders at these levels.
