CTP Central Trade Park, Remon Vos / Graham Value and share price + notes 2022 Q1 2023


SECTOR: [PASS]  CTP 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. CTP's sales of €599 million, based on 2022 sales, pass 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. CTP just went public two years ago but has a strong record of profitable growth before that.

Earnings Yield: [FAIL] 
[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. CTP's E/P of 6,4% (using the last year's Earnings from rent) just fails 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. CTP has a Graham number of (15 x €0,72 EPS x €14,41 Book Value) = €12,81 (For real estate I use 1 x book instead of the 1,5 x book Benjamin Graham used for industrial companies.)


Dividend: €0,45/€11,94 = 4%


Conclusion July 2023: Seems like a good investment for the Graham Defensive investor at EUR 11,95

Notes: 
Rent per square meter per month? has increased from EUR 4,8 to EUR 5,3 
The business now has 3 units: Operator, developer, energy (solar on roofs) 
It is the largest GLA (gross leased assets? ) in Europe. Market cap EUR 5b Enterprise Value 11b 
Tenant driven expansion 1 000 clients many in "business smart" Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) German business DIR that was taken over is going well. Rent was EUR 59m now 66m (per Q?) 
10%-11% Yield on Cost = construction cost EUR 550 / sqm in 2022 now EUR 500/sqm , yield 5,31 / month x 12 = 64/500 = 12% (is that the math?)

QUESTIONS:
How is Yield on Cost calculated? What is the relevance. What is ROE at CTP?  
They wrote a CEE paper?  
Increasing share count 
2021 336m shares 
2022 383m
2023 434m shares? whilst paying dividend? 

Interest cost was 1,6%, new loans (from banks) @4,6% makes financing more expensive. Bank loans are cheaper for CTP than bonds at the moment. 

Sales and profits in 2030 should be "easy" to calculate: Goal is doubling of gross leasable area (GLA) from 10,9m sqm now to 20m (end of the decade). 

In-house construction with 700 employees in total?

Bought Deutsche Industrie REIT on stock market for EUR 800m well under replacement cost? (why was the share price so low?) accretive for earnings right away.
