Greenlight Capital made the following comment about PLBY Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:PLBY) in its Q3 2022 investor letter:

"Finally, we sold unsuccessful investments in PLBY Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:PLBY) and WBD. We thought both companies were going through substantial corporate transformations. PLBY failed to execute on its strategy and we exited with a 50% loss on our investment. We sold WBD as it faces a more challenging path to executing its integration plan than we expected. It also has a sizable amount of debt. We are trying to avoid levered equities in the current economic environment. We lost approximately 40% on WBD in half a year. Both positions were small."
