Real Industry Inc. (NASDAQ:RELY) is a holding company based in Southern California backed by notable investors, including Sam Zell. With over $800 million in federal net operating losses (NOLs), management plans to acquire cash generating, stand-alone businesses that can utilize the NOL asset. Its first major purchase was Real Alloy, an aluminum recycling company. We believe the value of Real Alloy alone is more than the current market capitalization of Real Industry.
