Upslope Capital mentioned a few stocks including Crown Holdings in the fourth quarter investor letter. Here’s what Upslope Capital stated:

“We exited Crown Holdings near the end of the quarter. The business is performing well and an exit feels early. But, CCK was a “Tactical” holding (historically, we’ve been short CCK about as often as long) and thus I am more sensitive to valuation. Today, Crown’s valuation and leverage are relatively full and the long thesis is well-understood by investors.”
