Choice Equities made the following comment about Stagwell Inc. (NASDAQ:STGW) in its Q3 2023 investor letter:

“Holdings in our portfolio moved lower along with the downward trend of the market. By and large, our largest positions were the largest drivers of performance for the quarter, with the noted exception of Magnite, Inc. (MGNI), whose shares fell significantly late in the quarter.

In the case of MGNI, and to a lesser degree, Stagwell Inc. (NASDAQ:STGW), although both companies offer double digit free cash flow yields and attractive growth prospects and both will benefit from a pickup in advertising spend, both remain out of favor until such a turn begins to materialize.”
