Nitin Sacheti, Founder and Portfolio Manager at Papyrus Capital, is back to update his INNOVATE (NYSE: VATE) thesis. In his first appearance on the podcast, Nitin went into detail on all segments of the INNOVATE business, a highly levered holding company with three operating segments in: Infrastructure, Life Sciences and Spectrum. The stock has been volatile of late, and as Nitin notes in the beginning of the interview, "because there's a lot in here, there's some businesses that have done better than I had originally thought they would do when we first discussed it 20 months ago."
