ServiceMaster Global Holdings, Inc.
Thesis
We propose a three-fold constructivist plan for ServiceMaster to enhance shareholder value, including expanding the board with pest control experts, improving employee training and technology at Terminix, and spinning off ServiceMaster Brands to unlock additional value. Our analysis suggests that a tax-free spin-off could increase the IRR on the investment from 17% to 20%, with a target price of $78 based on a sum-of-the-parts valuation.
Did it work?
The long thesis proposed by the analyst aimed for a significant increase in shareholder value through strategic initiatives, including a spin-off and operational improvements. However, the stock has declined by 88.4% since the pitch, indicating that the proposed strategies did not materialize or were ineffective in enhancing value, leading to a clear failure of the thesis.
