Compass Diversified: Overreaction To Its Internal Investigation Creates Potential Buying Opportunity

  • Compass Diversified (CODI) dropped 62% on May 8 due to an internal investigation of subsidiary Lugano Holding. It has recovered slightly since. Despite the bad news, I believe the market overreacted, presenting an opportunity for risk-tolerant investors to profit from a potential turnaround. The issue was self-reported and contained, which is better than if it had been discovered by external regulators or short sellers.
