Longleaf Partners Small-Cap Fund Southeastern Asset Management, Inc. | “The owner of the Atlanta Braves baseball team and surrounding real estate was a contributor during the quarter. The highlight during the quarter was the sale of the Padres baseball team for a revenue multiple that implies a much higher value than what the market is ascribing to the Braves, and that is before considering the characteristics that we think make the Braves a better asset. Former Braves owner Ted Turner passed away during the quarter. The market reacted positively to this news as Braves controlling owner John Malone had previously said he would not sell the team while Ted was alive. Operations at The Battery, their real estate development, remain strong, and the team is off to a good start this season with one of the best records in the league.” | BULL | Q2 2026 Jul 11, 2026 | View Pitch |
Longleaf Partners Small-Cap Fund Southeastern Asset Management, Inc. | “Atlanta Braves Holdings ($BATRA) owns the Major League Baseball franchise Atlanta Braves along with The Battery Atlanta, a mixed-use commercial real estate development surrounding Truist Park, representing 4.9% of the fund's assets. The manager holds a constructive bullish thesis predicated on private-market franchise valuation dislocation, where public shares trade at a steep discount relative to transaction benchmarks for professional sports assets. The economic moat of a premier sports franchise is anchored by monopoly geographic rights, recurring long-term media contracts, and pricing power over ticketing and sponsorship. Valuation multiples in professional sports transactions have escalated, demonstrated by the recent sale of the San Diego Padres at a rich revenue multiple that implies substantial upside for Atlanta. Furthermore, The Battery provides predictable commercial rental income and operating leverage, insulating cash flows from single-season athletic variability. Key catalysts include potential corporate transactions or a franchise sale following the passing of former owner Ted Turner, removing a historical ownership constraint cited by controlling shareholder John Malone. Downside risks center on regional sports network broadcast rights insolvencies, team competitive slumps, and commercial real estate leasing headwinds.” | BULL | Q2 2026 Jul 1, 2026 | View Pitch |
Longleaf Partners Small-Cap Fund Southeastern Asset Management, Inc. | “Atlanta Braves Holdings – This company, which owns the Atlanta Braves baseball team and real estate around the stadium, was another contributor in the quarter. This quarter was highlighted by the strategic acquisition of the Pennant Park office complex, significantly expanding the company's real estate footprint adjacent to 'The Battery' development around their stadium. A well-received analyst day further highlighted the sum-of-the-parts valuation, while professional sports team valuations continue to increase. The team itself is currently struggling on the field this season, but we still like their long-term potential. BSD Analysis: Atlanta Braves Holdings is a high-growth, specialized media and entertainment pure-play whose stock is an asymmetric recovery bet on its successful monetization of the Atlanta Braves baseball club and The Battery Atlantareal estate. The core thesis is driven by the massive synergies between the team and the mixed-use development. The stock is rated a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), following a 14.1% increase in earnings estimates over the last three months, signaling a major improvement in the underlying business. This is a high-conviction play on the stable, high-value demand for professional sports and its unique, captive real estate platform.” | BULL | Q2 2025 Jul 1, 2025 | View Pitch |
