We write today to terminate coverage of Michaels Companies (Nasdaq:MIK), after our thesis has fully run its course. In Antrim's early days, before we had decided to pivot towards an exclusive focus on short idea generation and research coverage, we had initiated on two long ideas which we considered to be high conviction, special situations with unique, near term catalysts for price appreciation. Today, we are terminating our coverage of MIK, and moving to a rating of "Not Rated." Our thoughts on the initiation and current state of affairs are elaborated on in our write up.
