Investor Mario Gabelli says it’s time to step up to the plate when it comes to buying shares of the Atlanta Braves . “Today, I want you to buy one share of the Atlanta Braves instead of an Easter present for someone,” the chairman and CEO of Gamco Investors said on CNBC’s ” Power Lunch ” Wednesday. Publicly-traded shares of the baseball team ticked higher Wednesday afternoon after Gabelli’s comments.

The stock is up 3% this year and 17% over the past 12 months. Specifically, Gabelli applauded CEO Max Mitchell’s efforts in directing the company. “He split the company, provided financial engineering. They’re going to earn over $6 a share in the current year, and they have good cash flow,” the long-time investor said. GATX Similarly, Chicago-based railcar leasing company GATX , up 2% in 2025 and almost 21% in the last year, is an example of a company with a smaller market capitalization but a good business model. “They have rail equipment in the United States, in Europe, in India, and they own jet engines that they’re leasing through [a] Rolls-Royce partnership, and some they own on their own,” the investor said. “And they’re very smart.” Sony Group Gabelli also singled out PlayStation parent Sony Group as a stock he likes. The investor said that Sony should see a sales tailwind when the next installment in the Grand Theft Auto series is released later this year.
