The long thesis hinged on the ~40% discount to NAV closing as value was realized, but the stock instead collapsed -69.7% (from $84 to roughly $25). A decline of that magnitude is decisively against the thesis: it implies either severe NAV impairment or a dramatically widening discount, the opposite of the value-realization catalyst the pitch anticipated. Regardless of the unknown elapsed time, the core premise has been broken rather than merely delayed.
