F1 Group requires steep margin of safety
The speakers argue that while F1 Group possesses a highly attractive, capital-light business model with a wide moat, the current stock price does not offer a sufficient margin of safety, making it a watch-list name until it approaches the $65 to $70 range.
The argument
The hosts outline a weighted valuation model yielding an intrinsic value of $141 by 2030, but apply a 20% margin of safety to target an entry point around $65-$70. They cite concerns over high debt, low insider ownership, and potential fad-like popularity driven by recent media coverage.
The thesis, stress-tested
✓ What validates it
- ✓Share price drops below $70
- ✓Successful integration of MotoGP driving EBITDA to $200M-$250M
- ✓Concorde Agreement renegotiation in 2029 capping team payouts
▸ Risks discussed
- ▸High debt load
- ▸Low insider ownership and poor compensation alignment
- ▸Popularity could be a short-term fad driven by Netflix
- ▸Complex corporate structure under Liberty Media
- ▸Potential team payout increases in Concorde Agreement renegotiations
Hear it yourself
"So the F1B shares carry 10 voting rights per share and trade on the OTC market, but have literally zero trading volume. So these are shares that were created to maintain control of F1 Group in the hands of a few insiders while reducing the likelihood of an activist taking a role and trying to shake things up inside of the business. Now according to F1 Group's proxy, John Malone's owns 97% of the F1B shares and these shares give them a 49% voting rights. But outside of that, the insider ownership for F1 shares is actually quite low. Their cap table shows percentage ownerships of the F1A and K shares all to be less than 1% and in a few cases less than a thousand shares held by insiders."
