<ul>
<li>Porsche SE is trading at a 35.3% discount to NAV, vs. 32.4% long-term average, implying a 68% probability that Porsche SE will be liable for c. €6.5 billion legal claims.</li>
<li>I think this is too harsh. Shares are trading at a Fwd P/E of 2.5x and a dividend yield of 7.8%, which I consider very attractive. </li>
<li>Porsche SE presents an attractive opportunity to gain exposure to Volkswagen and Porsche AG. Porsche SE is focusing on deleveraging which should drive a reduction in the discount.</li>
