In the Q4 2020 Investor Letter, Upslope Capital highlighted a few stocks and Crown Holdings Inc (NYSE:CCK) is one of them. Crown Holdings Inc (NYSE:CCK) is a metal can manufacturing company. In the last three months, Crown Holdings Inc (NYSE:CCK) stock gained 3.4% and on January 21st it had a closing price of $94.58. Here is what Upslope Capital said:
“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.”
