Analysis · HZO · Trade & Services
PPF Group and its affiliated reporting persons have completely exited their MarineMax position. On September 18, 2026, they divested Matsuba Limited, the direct holder of the shares, in a negotiated sale to an unaffiliated third party. This follows a partial sale disclosed on September 9, 2026, which reduced their stake from 8.1% to 6.1%. The complete exit removes a significant institutional shareholder just weeks after the company agreed to be acquired by Safe Harbor for $53.00 per share. The timing suggests the seller may be taking advantage of the acquisition premium, but the filing does not state the sale price or proceeds.
