1 Main Capital stated the following regarding Superior Industries International, Inc. (OTC:SSUP) in its second quarter 2025 investor letter:

“We also experienced a permanent capital loss of 2%, for both the quarter and year from an opportunistic investment, Superior Industries International, Inc. (OTC:SSUP), that we exited after it announced the simultaneous loss of its two largest customers. Our rapid exit of the position saved us an additional 1%, which would have been wiped when the company’s lenders took control in an out-of-court restructuring. This loss is frustrating, because I expected significant near-term appreciation after management indicated that the new business pipeline was strong and that it was in advanced discussions to take out its preferred equity at a significant discount, addressing nearing maturities. I always demand significantly higher returns from opportunistic investments exactly for this reason – our wins need to be much bigger to make up for the potential losses.”
