A recent filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission has revealed that activist Jeff Smith‘s Starboard Value has initiated a massive position in Infoblox Inc (NYSE:BLOX). The investor has acquired 4.10 million shares of the company, which represent 7.10% of the outstanding stock. Shares of Infoblox have opened around 5% in the green on the back of the news.
Starboard has not announced any plans regarding the investment, although we can expect more news soon. The investor has been building a significant stake in Depomed Inc (NASDAQ:DEPO), which amounts to 5.64 million shares (9.2% of the outstanding stock) and has announced plans to propose candidates to the company’s board of directors. Jeff Smith is scheduled to give a presentation at the 2016 Ira Sohn Conference on May 4 (see more details).
Infoblox is a $946 million IT services company that provides Domain Name System (DNS) security, network control and automation. The stock is down by more than 12% since the beginning of the year. At the end of the fourth quarter of 2015, a total of 27 of the hedge funds tracked by Insider Monkey held long positions in Infoblox Inc (NYSE:BLOX), up by 13% from one quarter earlier. Eric Bannasch’s Cadian Capital held the largest stake, worth close to $93 million, followed by Dorsal Capital Management, led by Ryan Frick and Oliver Evans, with a $52.4 million position. Other professional money managers that are bullish consist of Anand Parekh’s Alyeska Investment Group, Jim Simons’s Renaissance Technologies and Israel Englander’s Millennium Management.
