Highlights

MagnaChip (MX) has had its share of issues over the past few years. In 2008/ 2009 the company filed for bankruptcy protection, and when Samsung announced supply chain issues in 2013 shares of MX tumbled to the high teens. Most recently, an internal audit at MX forced them to delay earnings. Investors are still waiting for a detailed explanation and a broad restatement of results going back to 2011’s annual report. The presenter believes the worst is behind the global analog and mixed signal company, and expects the accounting issues to be sorted out over the next four-to-five months. He is long shares due to how “absurdly cheap” the current valuation is, and believes shares are worth at least 9-10x earnings ($22-25).
