Greenlight Capital made the following comment about Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:AAWW) in its Q3 2022 investor letter:

“In August, Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:AAWW) announced it would be sold to a private equity consortium for $102.50 per share. Even though this price represents a very low multiple, and is likely to be an extremely attractive deal for the buyers, we happily exited our position after the announcement. Over a 2+ year holding period, we achieved an IRR of almost 80% on this investment. As we have written many times, it has been a difficult environment for value stocks. However, there is an old saying that “good things happen to cheap stocks” and that certainly happened here. We doubt this will be the last time private equity sees better value in our portfolio companies than other public markets investors do.”
