Aperam Graham Defensive Analysis

Conclusion 2019: Profit has gone down. Too difficult pile. Since then the share price has almost doubled...


In 2010 ArcelorMittal approved a proposal to spin-off ArcelorMittal’s stainless and speciality steels businesses to its shareholders in order to enable it to benefit from better visibility in the markets. The Mittal family owns around 40% of the shares.

SECTOR: [PASS] Aperam is neither a technology nor financial Company, and therefore this methodology is applicable. 

SALES: [PASS] The investor must select companies of "adequate size". This includes companies with annual sales greater than €260 million. Aperam's sales of €3 624 million, based on 2019 sales, pass this test.

CURRENT RATIO: [PASS] The current ratio must be greater than or equal to 2. Companies that meet this criterion are typically financially secure and defensive. Aperam's current ratio €1 418m/€423m of 3.4 passes the test.

LONG-TERM DEBT IN RELATION TO NET CURRENT ASSETS:  [PASS] For industrial companies, long-term debt must not exceed net current assets (current assets minus current liabilities). Companies that do not meet this criterion lack the financial stability that this methodology likes to see. The long-term debt for Aperam is €379 million, while the net current assets are €995 million. Aperam passes this test.

LONG-TERM EPS GROWTH: [FAIL] Companies must increase their EPS by at least 30% over a ten-year period and EPS must not have been negative for any year within the last 5 years. EPS for Aperam were often negative in the recent past and therefore the company fails this criterion.

Earnings Yield: [PASS] The Earnings/Price (inverse P/E) %, based on the lesser of the current Earnings Yield or the Yield using average earnings over the last 3 fiscal years, must be "acceptable", which this methodology states is greater than 6,5%. Stocks with higher earnings yields are more defensive by nature. APERAM's  E/P of  8% (using an average of the past 3 year's earnings) passes this test.

Graham Number value: [PASS]  The Price/Book ratio must also be reasonable. That is the Graham number value must be greater than the market price. Aperam has a Graham number of √(15 x €4 EPS x €30 Book Value) = €52

Dividend: €1,75/€49 = 3,5%

Conclusion  2020: Over the years it seems to be creating value. Fairly priced.

GeoJunxion formerly known as AND (Automotive Navigation Data) International Publishers


Conclusion 2019: The company with dozens of employees and sales of EUR 1 million (with an m) is burning through cash. It can't find a new auditor, it legally has to switch every few years.... It is difficult to say how the company will do in the future. Still not an investment for the Graham Defensive investors even if the share price falls further.

Too difficult pile. Making a relatively large loss, so Graham Value coulb be considered to be 0. 

Book value EUR 2 including a lot on intangibles..  

Market cap roughly EUR 4m ... Loss EUR 2m.

Acomo plus Tradin Organic Benjamin Graham defensive analysis



Acomo bought Tradin Organic using debt. Sales and profits per share have increased and profits are being used to pay down debt instead of paying out dividends.

SECTOR: [PASS]  Acomo is neither a technology nor financial Company, and therefore this methodology is applicable. 

SALES: [PASS]  The investor must select companies of "adequate size". This includes companies with annual sales greater than €260 million. Acomo's sales of more than EUR 1 000  million, based on 2021 H1 sales, pass this test.

CURRENT RATIO: [FAIL] The current ratio must be greater than or equal to 2. Companies that meet this criterion are typically financially secure and defensive. Acomo's current ratio €473m/€281m of 1.7 fails the test.

LONG-TERM DEBT IN RELATION TO NET CURRENT ASSETS:  [PASS] ? For industrial companies, long-term debt must not exceed net current assets (current assets minus current liabilities). Companies that do not meet this criterion lack the financial stability that this methodology likes to see. The long-term debt for Acomo is €114 million (of which €11m leases), while the net current assets are €192 million. Acomo passes this test?

LONG-TERM EPS GROWTH: [PASS] Companies must increase their EPS by at least 30% over a ten-year period and EPS must not have been negative for any year within the last 5 years. Companies with this type of growth tend to be financially secure and have proven themselves over time. Acomo's EPS growth was more than 100% over the past 10 years, Acomo passes this test. 

Earnings Yield: [PASS] The Earnings/Price (inverse P/E) %, based on the lesser of the current Earnings Yield or the Yield using average earnings over the last 3 fiscal years, must be "acceptable", which this methodology states is greater than 6,5%. Stocks with higher earnings yields are more defensive by nature. Acomo's E/P of 7% (using the last 3 years Earnings) passes this test.

Graham Number value: [FAIL] The Price/Book ratio must also be reasonable. That is the Graham number value must be greater than the market price. Acomo has a Graham number of √(15 x €1,6 EPS x 1,5 x €11,1 Book Value) = €20 

Dividend: was €1,1/€20 = 5,5%, currently EUR 0,- as they pay down EUR 114m in debt.

Conclusion 2020: The merger seems to be going well. Not especially cheap or expensive at the moment.

*Vrijheid ligt gevoelig. Van een kennis: "Ik persoonlijk vind dit een enorme gevoelige kwestie , we zijn door een periode van verschrikkelijke pandemie gegaan . Ik heb kennissen verloren door de ziekte omdat er geen vaccinatie nog was en dat behandeling niet toereikend was om het tij te keren . In de ziekenhuizen was het gedurende de pieken echt verschrikkelijk. 
Als ik virusontkenners hoor praten , zeer beangstigend.
Vaccinatie is een persoonlijke keuze , maar dat heeft gevolgen voor de maatschappij die uit een verschrikkelijk dal probeert te klimmen . Vrijheid is een heel gevoelig onderwerp en zeker in relatie met tweede Wereldoorlog en actuele situatie , daar moet je heel heel voorzichtig mee omgaan."

AMG Advanced Metallurgical Group N.V. (AMG.AS) a difficult company to valuate.


Results this year are better than over the past years which pushes the Graham Value down. The company has been selling stock whilst paying out dividends, which strikes me as illogical. 

Graham Defensive Analysis

SECTOR: [PASS] AMG is neither a technology nor financial Company, and therefore this methodology is applicable. 

SALES: [PASS] The investor must select companies of "adequate size". This includes companies with annual sales greater than €260 million. AMG's sales of €937 million, based on 2020 sales, pass this test.

CURRENT RATIO: [PASS] The current ratio must be greater than or equal to 2. Companies that meet this criterion are typically financially secure and defensive. AMG's current ratio €539m/€343m of 1.6 almost passes the test.

LONG-TERM DEBT IN RELATION TO NET CURRENT ASSETS: [FAIL] For industrial companies, long-term debt must not exceed net current assets (current assets minus current liabilities). Companies that meet this criterion display one of the attributes of a financially secure organization. The long-term debt for AMG is €955 million, while the net current assets are €196 million. AMG fails this test.

LONG-TERM EPS GROWTH: [FAIL] Companies must increase their EPS by at least 30% over a ten-year period and EPS must not have been negative for any year within the last 5 years. Companies with this type of growth tend to be financially secure and have proven themselves over time. AMG's EPS were negative in 2013 and in 2020. 

EARNINGS YIELD: [FAIL] The Earnings/Price (inverse P/E) %, based on the lesser of the current Earnings Yield or the Yield using average earnings over the last 3 fiscal years, must be "acceptable", which this methodology states is greater than 6,5%. Stocks with higher earnings yields are more defensive by nature. AMG's E/P of 2% (using an estimated EPS of 0,5 Euros per diluted share) fails this test.

GRAHAM NUMBER VALUE:  [FAIL]  The Price/Book ratio must also be reasonable. T   hat is the Graham number value must be greater than the market price. AMG has a Graham number of √(15 x €0,25 EPS x 1,5 x €8 Book Value) = €7

Dividend is being paid with sales of stock = effectively 0 %

Conclusion: Too difficult pile.

Coronavirus gives politicians a taste of absolute power without contradiction

It is shocking how quickly coercion and control have become part of the democratic world. Apparently absolute power, without participation or contradiction, is difficult to resist.

Gerhard Hormann
28 augustus 2021 11:24


During the height of the credit crisis, I was driving to the south of Sweden with a photographer. At the time, I was still working as a paid journalist and that week I had the opportunity to test a convertible version of the Saab 9.3. That car brand was then about to fall and there were rumors that it would be taken over by a Chinese company.

That's how we came up with the idea to photograph this car in its own habitat and at the same time interview a few local Saab dealers. It was a nice idea that worked out well, but at the same time it was pointless, wasteful car miles because we could have shot this new model in front of a Swedish restaurant in our own country or in a residential area with Scandinavian-looking wooden houses.

During that long drive, we had plenty of time to philosophize about fossil fuels and global warming. Then, more than ten years ago, we concluded that the necessary behavioral change could only be achieved by sacrificing democratic achievements such as freedom of movement and privacy. You could also say that we already realized then that effective climate policy would automatically lead to a kind of green semi-dictatorship.

That wasn't a value judgement, just a simple observation. Partly for this reason, we concluded that such a radical policy would not be feasible, because in a parliamentary democracy no one would accept such a curtailment of civil rights and freedoms. You can suggest giving every citizen a kind of CO2 quota, but implementation requires a fine-grained monitoring device that registers and analyzes every purchase and every kilometer driven.

What seemed an impossibility during that trip to Sweden has now become an almost everyday reality in some places. If the pandemic has shown anything, it is how surprisingly easy it is to transform a parliamentary democracy into a repressive control society that intervenes in individual choices and freedoms.

History has yet to show whether the government measures taken to combat the coronavirus were wise or exaggerated. Only with retrospective effect can we determine whether the remedy was perhaps worse than the disease, precisely because it affects so many aspects of social life. But already you can see how tempting and intoxicating power can be for reasonably reasonable, democratically elected politicians and how quickly consensus is exchanged for control and state coercion. What is happening now in countries like Australia and Canada, but also closer in France, Austria and Greece, I would not have thought possible until recently. This can be a temporary emergency, but also a testing ground for politicians who have had a taste of power without participation or contradiction.

ASML priced to perfection?

Famed investor Peter Lynch said: "In business, competition is never as healthy as total domination." He might have liked ASML.

For a few years, I have been following ASML and often thought the price was too high based on this type of chart comparing Price and Graham value. It seems like the difference is getting bigger and bigger.


The problem with this chart is that it is lineair, whilst life is exponential (hopefully). Peter Lynch used a log chart which reflects growth better.


In this case there is a global chip shortage at the moment and business is booming better than ever at ASML, but I see a bubble in the log chart as well, similar to 2000. If you had invested then you as a shareholder wouldn't have earned much for a decade although profit and sales increased dramatically. 


Benjamin Graham Defensive Analysis:

SECTOR: [FAIL] ASML is in the Technology sector, which is one sector that this methodology avoids. Technology and financial stocks were considered too risky to invest in when this methodology was published. At that time they were not the driving force of the market as they are today. Although this methodology would avoid ASML, we will provide the rest of the analysis, as we feel times have changed.

SALES: [PASS] The investor must select companies of "adequate size". This includes companies with annual sales greater than €260 million. ASML's sales of €14 000 million, based on 2020 sales, pass this test.

CURRENT RATIO: [PASS] The current ratio must be greater than or equal to 2. Companies that meet this criterion are typically financially secure and defensive. ASML's current ratio €27 3000m/6 603m of 4.1 passes the test.

LONG-TERM DEBT IN RELATION TO NET CURRENT ASSETS: [PASS] For industrial companies, long-term debt must not exceed net current assets (current assets minus current liabilities). Companies that meet this criterion display one of the attributes of a financially secure organization. The long-term debt for ASML is €7 000 million, while the net current assets are €21 000 million. ASML passes this test.

LONG-TERM EPS GROWTH: [PASS]  Companies must increase their EPS by at least 30% over a ten-year period and EPS must not have been negative for any year within the last 5 years. EPS for ASML grew by over 250% during the past 10 years. The company passes this criterion.

Earnings Yield: [FAIL] The Earnings/Price (inverse P/E) %, based on the lesser of the current Earnings Yield or the Yield using average earnings over the last 3 fiscal years, must be "acceptable", which this methodology states must be greater than 6,5%. Stocks with higher earnings yields are more defensive by nature. ASML's E/P of 1,5% fails this test.

Graham Number value: [FAIL] The Price/Book ratio must also be reasonable. That is the Graham number value must be greater than the market price. ASML has a Graham number of √(15 x €7,3 EPS x €30 Book Value) = €70

DIVIDEND 2,,75/734 = 0,4%

Altice: a puzzle

In November 2017 I wrote: "Conclusion: ALTICE is very difficult to evaluate. The company’s financials have changed drastically in the past years due to deal making. Sales have increased dramatically and could result in fantastic earnings for shareholders going forward, but it is not a company for the Defensive Investor. ALTICE might be cheap at a price of under 10 Euros per share, but belongs in what CharlieMunger calls the “too hard pile”.

http://sinaas.blogspot.com/2017/11/altice-price-rollercoaster-no-intrinsic.html

Since then Altice spun-off Atice USA. If I understand correctly, Altice shareholders got 0,41 Altice USA shares per share of Altice International held. The current Altice USA (ATUS) shareprice is $27,83 x 0,41 in Euros = EUR 10,26 + Altice Europe EUR 3,90 today = EUR 14 almost a 100% increase in >Quoted Value< since 2017.

Since 2017 I have read "Cable Cowboy" about John Malone. It makes it clear that a Benjamin Graham Defensive method of evaluating a cable company (based on Earnings and Book Value per share) is not helpful.

Still too difficult for me, especially at a time of technological disruption in broad- and narrowcasting (streaming) at this moment.

Alfen Benjamin Graham Defensive notes


The business is doing very well. The stock even better. The graph above is in a linear scale, next year I will add a log scale. They have an international runway for growth. 
Using figures for 2021. Sales EUR 250m Balance sheet solid. Shares outstanding increased to 22m. Not a bad idea to issue shares at this price. Price per share EUR 93, book value EUR 4,-. EPS 1 per share and increasing. P/E 100 

Alfen notes september 2019: Not for the Graham Defensive Investor

Mkt cap264,80M
P/E ratio410,67


Sales 2019 EUR 140m ? 

EPS = EUR 0,2
Book = EUR 8,3m equity / 20m shares = EUR 0,41 per share

Question: Why did I think there were 11,3m shares outstanding last year??

Price ...... wait for it

= EUR 13,24 

Earnings have to increase 500% for this to make sense... 


On the other hand the market for Smart grid solutions and Electric Vehicle (EV) is expected to remain strong.
--------------------


Tuesday, December 18, 2018


Alfen rough intrinsic value using Graham Number notes

New IPO at EUR 10 per share. Currently, 11,3m shares, share price EUR 12,25 per share. Market Cap: EUR 138m
The company is buying Finnish Elkamo for EUR 4,5m

Book value: Equity EUR 7,1m/11,3m shares = 0,6 EUR Book value per share

Adjusted Earnings Guess for 2018: 0,2 EUR per share. Graham Number (Geometric average of 15x Earnings and 1,5 x Book value = Graham Value EUR 1,68 per share.

The company is growing revenues quickly (plus 32% in the first half of 2018), but seems expensive at the current stock price. The company would have to keep growing at this pace for 3-4 years to justify the current share price.  The EV market could grow that quickly, but I don't know how much competition there is.

Current ratio: 30,4m/24,8m = 1,2
Long term debt: 8,6m (including Elkamo?)

Conclusion: Not a stock for the Defensive investor.
