Gate City Capital Management Michael Melby | “Alico (ALCO) is the Fund's largest position. The company announced it would exit citrus operations following the 2025 harvest. Approximately 75% of citrus acreage will be converted to other agricultural uses and 25% to higher-value residential and commercial development. Alico is advancing entitlements on major projects including Corkscrew Villages and Bonnet Lake. Post year-end land sales and leasing activity validated land values well above implied market pricing. BSD Analysis: Alico, Inc. enters 2026 as a resilient land management and agribusiness player, focusing on recovering its citrus production after several seasons of environmental challenges. The company is actively exploring alternative land uses, including solar leases and ranching, to maximize the value of its massive Florida landholdings. While current earnings are under pressure from prior storm damage, the firm's substantial asset backing provides a meaningful margin of safety for investors. Management is prioritizing the replanting of groves with more disease-resistant varieties, a move expected to drive long-term yield improvements. The stock has shown stability in early 2026, trading within a healthy range as investors await the full realization of its recovery plan. Alico remains a quintessential "hidden asset" play for those seeking exposure to Florida's appreciating agricultural and real estate values.” | BULL | Q4 2025 Jan 27, 2025 | View Pitch |
