| 1 | # Greenblatt Special Situations |
| 2 | |
| 3 | Use this skill to apply Joel Greenblatt-style event-driven value: look where structural reasons force investors to sell or ignore securities, especially spinoffs, restructurings, merger securities, and overlooked quality-value combinations. |
| 4 | |
| 5 | ## When To Use |
| 6 | |
| 7 | - Spinoff or post-spinoff analysis |
| 8 | - Restructuring, rights offering, merger security, or stub analysis |
| 9 | - Magic Formula quality/value screening |
| 10 | - Forced-selling event review |
| 11 | |
| 12 | Trigger phrases include `Greenblatt`, `spinoff`, `special situation`, `magic formula`, `event-driven`, `stub`, and `forced selling`. |
| 13 | |
| 14 | ## Process |
| 15 | |
| 16 | 1. Identify the event and why natural holders may sell. |
| 17 | 2. Separate parent, spin, stub, rights, or merger consideration. |
| 18 | 3. Underwrite business quality and normalized earnings. |
| 19 | 4. Compare valuation to hidden or standalone value. |
| 20 | 5. Define event catalyst and post-event shareholder base. |
