    Media M&A - [Business Breakdowns, EP.230]
    Oct 9 2025
    This is Matt Reustle. Today, we are exploring the world of media deals. My guest is Blake Saunders. Blake has been in media investment banking for almost two decades. When I first met him, he was a banker, so I wasn't expecting to lean into this relationship, but I often introduce Blake to others as the banker. We delve into the current deal landscape and some of the realities of the media market, exploring how companies are navigating this new era, and then determine who's best positioned for the next chapter. Please enjoy this Breakdown of Media with Blake Saunders.

  • Exor: Fiat Crisis to Ferrari Glory - [Business Breakdowns, EP.229]

    Exor: Fiat Crisis to Ferrari Glory - [Business Breakdowns, EP.229]
    Oct 1 2025
     This is Zack Fuss. Today, we are breaking down Exor. The origins of Exor date back to the end of the 19th century when Giovanni Agnelli founded the Auto Company Fiat. Over the company's 100-year-old history, a lot has changed. While some of the core assets remain the same today, Exor serves as an investment holding company. Its largest and most notable assets include Ferrari, CNH, Stellantis, Philips, and a number of other notable household-name companies. I am joined by Krishna Mohanraj, a portfolio manager of the International Strategy at Diamond Hill. Today, Exor is led by John Elkann, the grandson of the late Giovanni Agnelli. Elkan was named heir of his grandfather at the age of 21, and has fostered and reshaped the business to what it is today. Please enjoy this Breakdown of Exor.
