A fund just paid $35.50 for a stock trading at $22.12 - Team Inc - $TISI
I dug into a recent insider transaction at Team, Inc. ($TISI) that I found unusually interesting.
On August 6, a fund controlled by Stellex Capital bought 1.6M shares from Corre Partners for **$35.50/share** about 60% above the current market price.
That’s especially interesting because:
The transaction valued the block at \~$57M
Stellex already had a major position and now owns \~35% of the common
The stock currently trades around $22
Management is guiding to $68–73M of adjusted EBITDA for 2026
My DCF gives a **$34.55 base case**, $77.72 bull case, and $0 bear case
The catch: Team is highly leveraged, and the first half of 2026 was weak. The turnaround depends heavily on deferred refinery maintenance coming back.
So the real question isn’t simply “why did they pay $35.50?”
