Yesterday FFP released their 2016 annual report (French) which prompted me to update my spreadsheet that calculates the live NAV of the holding company. Since I started my position in FFP in 2013 the discount has shrunk a little bit, but has remain fairly constant so far. I estimate it to be 40.4%, just a handful of percentage points lower than the 46.5% discount it was trading at three/four years ago. Because of that I’m happy to continue holding my position. If you want to access the spreadsheet yourself, I have shared it here.

Author is long FFP
how do you find these man?!
Are they doing any buybacks to close the discount?
are there activists involved?
They have a share buyback program, but they don’t buy back a meaningful amount. And company only has a float of 20%, so no opportunity for activism. Peugeot family decides what will happen, they have the other 80%.
