COMPASS DIVERSIFIED SBI

In its Q2 2026 investor letter Greenhaven Road highlights Compass Diversified as a special situation that could be worth $30+ per share versus a $10 baseline, citing underlying business values materially above the market price. The letter notes past fraud at one subsidiary, activist pressure to sell the businesses, and that an external manager paid fees and incentive shares is a key barrier to asset sales and cash return. Compass Diversified closed at $12.10 on August 17, 2026 and has seen strong recent share gains, but Greenhaven warns the manager’s incentives could create a value trap despite apparent upside. » Plus sur finance.yahoo.com

Compass Diversified reduced the base management fee in the amended agreement from 2.00% to 1.25% of adjusted net assets, effective January 1, 2027, with a tiered structure for higher assets and a fee cap of $30 million for 2027. The change is expected to lower management fees in 2027 by about $19–22 million versus the prior formula. The previous incentive fee will be replaced by a cash-settled Share Alignment Award (0.125%) and a Performance-Based Award (0.125%), the latter weighted 70% to relative total return and 30% to EBITDA performance; for 2027 there is a minimum payout threshold of $17.25 including distributions. Compass Diversified reaffirmed its full-year 2026 guidance and plans to seek shareholder approval in 2027 for an equity-based incentive structure to take effect in 2028. » Plus sur de.investing.com
