“Our Q4 2023 letter stated that Five Point Holdings, LLC (NYSE:FPH) was a top pick for 2024. While it performed well, gaining 23% on the year, how a month makes such a difference. In January, Five Point reported robust Q4 results and guided 2025 to be equally as strong, guiding to $200m of Net Income, putting them in a net cash position. On this news, the stock rose 50% on the day following. Only a few years ago, we were increasingly worried about their upcoming debt maturity. Now, having the discussion 180 and moving to how they will deploy excess free cash flow in the coming years is a turnaround timeline we couldn’t have fathomed.”
