Capital Senior Living Corp (CSU): Value Investor Arbiter Partners Backing Up The Truck

We don’t and can’t pay attention to every single hedge fund filing. There are just too many of them. However, we pay extra attention when a well-known value investor starts backing up the truck and loading up. Hedge funds rarely buy more than 10% of a company’s outstanding shares. They usually stop at 9.9% or so because they don’t want to become a company’s insider and be subject to a different regulatory reporting requirements. For example, large shareholders who hold more than 10% of a company’s outstanding shares have to report their transactions within 48 hours because they are considered to be privy of confidential inside information about the company.

So, when a value hedge fund buys more than 10% of a company’s stock, we believe this is a credible buy signal. Paul J. Isaac’s Arbiter Partners Capital Management today disclosed that it now controls 14.16% of Capital Senior Living Corp (NYSE:CSU). The famed value investor owned only 9% of the company’s outstanding shares at the end of September. Below, you can see the detailed list of its most recent transactions which also includes a large call option purchase with a strike price of $25. Capital Senior Living Corp (NYSE:CSU) shares currently trade at $17.38, so Paul Isaac sees a lot of upside potential.
