O’keefe Stevens Advisory stated the following regarding Seaport Entertainment Group Inc. (AMEX:SEG) in its Q3 2024 investor letter:
“Seaport Entertainment Group Inc. (AMEX:SEG) – Another Nevada (partially) play we wrote about is Seaport Entertainment Group (SEG). A recent spinoff from Howard Hughes (HHH). We were, and continue to be, intrigued by the idea, as a $5B company spinning off a $300m hodgepodge of assets can create interesting trading dynamics. We visited the Tin Building in New York’s Seaport District in June. To say the building was stunning would be an understatement (then again, with a $200m remodel, it ought to be). Discussions with managers and servers provided interesting insights, detailed in our Substack post “Seaport Thoughts and Waffeling.” We passed on the idea, though we have a diligence trip to investigate the properties further in November. On the surface, the assets are highly likely to be worth more than the current market value. However, the Tin Building is incinerating cash and other near-term office vacancy headwinds, which have us worried this is cheap on an asset value and expensive on an NPV. A lesson we’ve learned from Five Point Holdings.”
