Hi Intern in Consulting, check out these links:
More suggestions...
I hope those threads give you a bit more insight.
Chinese companies listed in the USA are a good start. International shipping and logistics companies get hairy too.
Second this, the internet companies with multiple business units consolidated into one line item, spin off listings, operating in different sectors. Apart from core businesses they also have a significant portion of income coming from ST LT investments.
Entertainment companies

FIG, PUI, Family owned conglomerates
Pipeline companies. Capitalization is always a huge fucking shitshow.
Power and Utilities for sure, as a generalist in an M&A group that got thrown on a few deals
Aircraft leasing
