Palliser Capital Publishes Value Enhancement Plan for Toyo Tires
LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Palliser Capital ('Palliser'), a significant shareholder in Toyo Tires ('Toyo') (5105 JT), today published a comprehensive presentation on the opportunities available to unlock value at Toyo. To ensure market transparency and respond to requests from shareholders and other stakeholders, Palliser published the presentation first delivered by James Smith, Palliser Founder and Chief Investment Officer, at the Sohn Hong Kong Investment Leaders Conference on May 30, 2025.
Toyo, a premium tire brand with a leading U.S. market share in Wide Light Truck Tires, has consistently underperformed and is materially undervalued, trading at a significant discount to peers across key valuation multiples, despite the company's far superior revenue and profitability profile. In Palliser's view, the factors driving this value gap are readily solvable and, if remedied, could deliver over 45% upside to shareholders – or materially more with a Palliser-proposed stakeholder value enhancement committee actively exploring options for Toyo, including interest from multiple PE and strategic buyers.
Palliser's enhancement plan includes:
Adopting best-in-class performance targets and incentive structures to fully align management incentives and shareholder interests;
Implementing a TSE-aligned capital allocation framework, grounded in clear and distinct metrics, returns and hurdle rates; and
Conducting a comprehensive review of all strategic options to maximize stakeholder value, including privatization and resolving overhang from Mitsubishi's investment in the company.
Full details of the presentation are outlined in the accompanying attachment.

Democrats' online problem: They're not doing enough year-round
It turns out, Democrats aren't online enough. Conservative organizations spend more than left-leaning ones on platforms such as Facebook and Instagram in non-election years, capturing a large audience while those Democratic-aligned groups go more dormant in the digital space. And it's making Democrats' election-year persuasion game that much harder. That's the warning of a new report from Tech for Campaigns, a political nonprofit focused on using digital marketing and data techniques to support Democrats, that argues one of the party's major problems is that its communication falters in non-election years. While Democratic spending and presence online surged leading up to the election, for example, Republicans quickly regained the spending advantage this year. Democrats, in other words, aren't putting in the work online during 'off years.' The report, shared first with POLITICO, comes as Democratic donors and officials have grappled with how online personalities and social media content boosted President Donald Trump in 2024, and openly acknowledged Democrats need to fix their brand. 'The Right, especially Trump, recognized that persuasion is no longer about last-minute convincing, but about shaping beliefs continuously — building trust, shifting opinions, and staying visible through frequent engagement — just like commercial brand building,' the report's authors wrote. 'Democrats may acknowledge this shift but continue treating digital communication as a campaign-season sprint.' Republicans' audience advantage spans from podcasts, where Democrats have fretted about the influence of hosts like Joe Rogan, to social media and digital sites. On Facebook and Instagram, for example, Republican-aligned pages outspent those associated with Democrats throughout former President Joe Biden's term, the report found. The only exception of the fourth quarter of 2024, when Democratic-aligned spending surged ahead of the November election. Republicans regained the spending advantage in the first quarter of 2025, suggesting Democrats are not making up ground. 'Democrats have a brand and customers who require consistent and constant communication,' said Jessica Alter, co-founder of Tech for Campaigns. 'And ads … 3-6 months before an election can certainly supplement that strategy, but they can't be the main strategy, not when Republicans never stop talking to their audience.' The online spending gap is not coming from political parties or campaigns. Instead, Republicans' digital advantage largely stems from allied groups and digital media companies, such as PragerU and the Daily Wire. Those sites and other similar ones are not focused strictly on electoral politics. But they have cultivated broad audiences, and spent years sharing content about issues — such as transgender students' participation in sports and opposition to diversity, equity and inclusion programs — that are electorally potent. And Republican candidates are primed to take advantage of those large, sympathetic audiences when an election draws near. While there are newer left-leaning media competitors, such as Courier Newsroom and NowThis Impact, the conservative pages and websites still have a larger audience and spend more on to boost their content across the platforms. When it comes to campaigns, Democrats do have a financial advantage. But although Democratic campaigns consistently outspend Republicans on digital platforms, that's often more focused on fundraising than persuasion and mobilization ads. That's a mistake, Tech for Campaigns argues. While former Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign spent nearly three times as much as Trump's across Facebook, Google and CTV after she entered the presidential race in July 2024, only a small share, 8 percent, was devoted to mobilization, the report finds. That allowed Trump and his allies to close much of the gap when it came to digital content designed to get voters to the polls. But the report cautions against simply trying to recreate what Republicans have done well — for instance, by trying to find a Democratic equivalent of Rogan or even assuming that podcasts will be the most important medium for 2028. Instead, it argues, Democrats need to be willing to try different formats, testing what works and adapting as needed. 'Simply increasing funding to replicate Republican tactics from the last cycle won't be sufficient — nor will continuing to rely primarily on the same networks of talent,' the report concludes. 'Successful right-wing influencers emerged largely organically outside party structures, not through top-down creation.'
