Nuance bets $44M on Aspen Insurance in a move that feels both bold and perhaps a little desperate

by

In what can only be described as a move of quiet confidence-or reckless bravado?-Nuance made a fresh entrance into Aspen’s saga. They snapped up 1,198,155 shares, valued at just shy of $44 million as of September’s end. It’s like showing up to a crowded party with a new outfit and a raise-the-eyebrows kind of grin. Suddenly, Aspen isn’t just some insurtech side note; it’s nestled comfortably in Nuance’s top ten picks. That’s a noteworthy shift in a portfolio that already oozes of utility, health, and transport stocks that none of us probably really understand, but we admire their stability-like a well-made bed you’re afraid to get into.

The transaction speaks plainly. TSW spent $44.75 million at average quarterly prices to build a position now worth less than its acquisition cost. Conagra’s share price-$17.22 as of December 1-has bled 33% annually, dragging returns 49 percentage points below the S&P 500. This is not a stock for the faint-hearted.

Is Spectrum Brands Still a Buy for Callodine Capital?

by

On November 13th, Callodine Capital Management disclosed an addition of 360,898 shares to its existing stake in Spectrum Brands. This isn’t some impulsive Tinder date of an investment-it’s a slow-cooked marriage. Since 2022, the fund has turned SPB into its largest holding, now worth $90 million. That’s 7.89% of their AUM, which feels like bringing a date to Thanksgiving dinner and then, against all odds, staying for dessert.
