Thesis Summary

Brookfield Business Corp (BBUC) offers investors a corporate structure to access Brookfield's private equity platform. The company is executing a robust capital recycling strategy, highlighted by the $650 million sale of Multiplex and a 27% stake sale in La Trobe at a 3x multiple. With strong pro forma corporate liquidity of $2.4 billion and a strategic pivot toward high-growth areas like AI deployment (via DeployCo), BBUC is well-positioned to compound long-term value despite near-term macro headwinds.

Scenarios · 12-month scenario targetsAnchored at research date

Bear CaseDownside scenario

The bear case reflects prolonged high interest rates impacting industrial segments, a deeper downturn in the Canadian housing market affecting Sagen, or delays in closing key asset sales like Multiplex.

Base CaseCentral scenario

The base case assumes steady operational improvements across core holdings like Clarios and Sagen, alongside successful execution of capital recycling initiatives. The sale of Multiplex for $650 million in late 2026 will solidify the balance sheet and support opportunistic share buybacks.

Scenarios are anchored to street consensus at the research date, with our probabilities and rationale.

Key Investment Merits

Strong capital recycling track record with over $1 billion in asset sale proceeds generated YTD.
Robust liquidity profile with $2.4 billion in pro forma corporate liquidity providing high financial flexibility.
Underappreciated portfolio value, particularly in market-leading assets like Clarios and La Trobe.

Key Investment Risks

High leverage across operating subsidiaries which could pressure cash flows in a sustained high-rate environment.
Macroeconomic sensitivity in industrial and construction segments.
Complex corporate structure and dual-class share dynamics.

Thesis Invalidation Triggers

Failure to close the Multiplex transaction in Q4 2026.
Significant deterioration in Clarios' margins or cash generation.
A sharp spike in Sagen's mortgage insurance loss ratios.

All scenarios are estimates and subject to change. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
