Greystone Capital Management made the following comment about IDT Corporation (NYSE:IDT) in its Q3 2023 investor letter:
"Another one of our biggest detractors during the past year was IDT Corporation (NYSE:IDT). Despite very strong business execution during our ownership, IDT found itself amidst a legal battle with Straight Path Communications, surrounding prior business dealings for which Straight Path was seeking damages in excess of $1 billion. Given the developments with Polished, it made sense to de-risk the portfolio from any binary events, and without being able to mitigate a disastrous legal outcome, it made sense to exit the position."
