"Clark Street Value posted a disappointing -5.93% return in 2025, leading the manager to scale back on active stock picking and refocus exclusively on high-conviction special situations and M&A arbitrage."
Clark Street Value's portfolio fell -5.93% in 2025, significantly underperforming the S&P 500's +17.91%. Due to expanding professional commitments outside the blog, the manager plans to scale back on active blogging and transition to a more concentrated, higher-conviction portfolio. Current core holdings are heavily weighted toward special situations, liquidations, and take-privates, notably Sotherly Hotels (SOHO), Braemar Hotels (BHR), and Franklin Street Properties (FSP). Major portfolio exits during the year included Mereo BioPharma (MREO) following a failed Phase 3 trial and Seaport Entertainment (SEG).
