Thanks for the note Shooter, agree w/ your point on Jesup being a work-horse facility that has been properly invested in (key consideration on assessing is the fire is 1-off which it should be).
Also agree... login to read the rest
FWIW (not much), think this one remains very interesting post the refi update (can quibble on terms, but pretty much in-line w/ expectations particularly as it gives RYAM the flex to paydown w/ paperboard /... login to read the rest
No change in view, obviously a bummer on timing of the fire as lot of positive momentum ongoing imho, but don't think this changes around the tune (refinancing BS providing ~5-yrs of runway, S/D =... login to read the rest

Thanks for the note Mojoris and for the feedback throughout the post ... caveat everything w/ the fact that I'm a dummy, but I continue to like the asymmetry at these levels as think the... login to read the rest
RYAM report v positive, the proper analog is an aircraft carrier inflecting and gaining momentum.

BRG reported this morning and couple interesting points on their biomaterials segment: 1) pushing through a mid-year price increase on ethers given demand (my sense the primary driver) + inputs (wood / easier to explain... login to read the rest
Thanks for the note Katana, and agree this one has fleas (and likely why a limited equity audience to date)

Thanks for the note Katana, and appreciate your perspectives (as always)

RYAM reports Tuesday after close. I’m admittedly the patsy on this one (for too long), but think the set-up remains interesting as the pig moves its way through the python … playbook on RYAM is... login to read the rest
Thanks for the post, ditto your thoughts.
I've been long and wrong this dirty dwag so I'm likely the patsy, but I like this one quite a bit and think the assymetry is attractive (particularly given... login to read the rest
Agree, would prefer mgmt to put out a flurry of Form 4s (versus do conference circuit) as talk is cheap. Not holding my breadth on that front, as I'm sure they'll cite Houlihan process, etc.

Agree w/ the way you're framing the set-up.

FWIW (not much), Oaktree covenant relief makes sense particularly as this was the #1 discussion topic for both debt + equity. Fees were minimal (in grander scheme) and buys the biz breathing room and puts... login to read the rest

What did you make of the Investor Day? 5yr forecast was a bit underwhelming vs. the EBITDA bridge - possible management is sandbagging it after cutting guidance 2x this year?
