In the said letter, SRK Capital highlighted a few stocks and Tile Shop Holdings Inc. (OTCMKTS:TTSH) is one of them. Tile Shop Holdings is a leading specialty retailer of man-made and natural stone tiles, setting and maintenance materials, and related accessories in the United States. Year-to-date, Tile Shop Holdings Inc. (OTCMKTS:TTSH) stock lost 20.7% and on June 22nd it had a closing price of $1.36. Here is what SRK Capital said:
“The Tile Shop specializes in tile and stone products for floors, walls, backsplash, etc. sold through their 142 stores. The business has been mismanaged and compared to their competitors, they are not a great business, but I believe they will be able to manage their liquidity well enough through this period to be able to improve the business in the future. There is an interesting backstory going on within the company that has forced many shareholders to sell their shares, especially during the worst of the panic selling. We were able to buy shares for less than half of working capital on the balance sheet.”
Our calculations showed that Tile Shop Holdings Inc. (OTCMKTS:TTSH) isn’t ranked among the 30 most popular stocks among hedge funds.
