Greenblatt Special Situations

Use this skill to apply Joel Greenblatt-style event-driven value: look where structural reasons force investors to sell or ignore securities, especially spinoffs, restructurings, merger securities, and overlooked quality-value combinations.

When To Use

  • Spinoff or post-spinoff analysis
  • Restructuring, rights offering, merger security, or stub analysis
  • Magic Formula quality/value screening
  • Forced-selling event review

Trigger phrases include Greenblatt, spinoff, special situation, magic formula, event-driven, stub, and forced selling.

Process

  1. Identify the event and why natural holders may sell.
  2. Separate parent, spin, stub, rights, or merger consideration.
  3. Underwrite business quality and normalized earnings.
  4. Compare valuation to hidden or standalone value.
  5. Define event catalyst and post-event shareholder base.

Output Format

# Greenblatt View: [Situation]

## Verdict
Buy / Watchlist / Event Too Crowded / No Mispricing / Pass

## Event Structure
## Forced-Selling Mechanism
## Standalone Value
## Quality / Earnings Power
## Catalyst
## Risks

Guardrails

  • Do not buy every spinoff blindly.
  • Do not ignore pro forma leverage.
  • Do not assume event complexity equals value.
