BRSL

Key Takeaways

At about $11, Brightstar trades near 7 times operating income, a multiple so low it sits below what even a steady mid-single-digit decline in operating profit would justify. The asset-based and growth-DCF methods support the price; the earnings-power and peer-multiple methods are the ones calling it expensive. This reads as a value name, not a growth bet. The company is a different animal than it was a year ago. It sold its Gaming and Digital business to Apollo affiliates for roughly $4.0 billi

Institutional ownership

204 institutional managers reported holding BRSL in 13F filings for the quarter ended 2026-03-31. Together they hold about 43% of the company; the top 10 hold 27%. 29 opened new positions that quarter. Held by MFS Investment Management, BlackRock, Citadel Advisors, among others. On the short side, 5.9M shares were sold short as of the 2026-06-15 count, about 3% of shares outstanding (4.3 days of typical volume to cover).

Quarterly 13F filings arrive up to 45 days after quarter end, so the picture is never current (filed through 2026-05-29). Nothing here is investment advice.
