TripAdvisor, Inc.
Thesis
Shayan invested in TripAdvisor when it spun off from Expedia, suggesting he saw value in the newly independent company and its growth potential.
Did it work?
inconclusive
confidence: low
The pitch is a generic long thesis based on TripAdvisor's spinoff from Expedia and perceived growth potential, but no price performance and no time elapsed are provided. Without return data or a stated horizon/catalyst to check against, there is no way to confirm whether the value and growth thesis played out or failed. The spinoff itself did occur, but that alone does not validate the investment outcome.
