CBD: Undervalued Latin American Holding Company With Catalyst

January 18, 2023 in Audio, Best Ideas 2023, Best Ideas 2023 Featured, Best Ideas Conference, Diary, Discover Great Ideas Podcast, Equities, Ideas, Member Podcasts

Amit Wadhwaney of Moerus Capital Management presented his investment thesis on Companhia Brasileira de Distribuicao SA (Brazil: PCAR4, US: CBD) at Best Ideas 2023.

Thesis summary:

CBD is best known for its flagship brand, Grupo Pão de Açúcar (GPA), a Brazilian grocer-led retail business, which includes grocery stores, convenience stores, and gas stations, as well as significant e-commerce operations.

CBD is also the dominant shareholder of Grupo Éxito (Exito), a listed Colombian food-led retailer, owning over 96% of the shares outstanding. In addition to its controlling stake in Exito, CBD is also a large shareholder (owning a 34% stake) of Cnova N.V., a French e-commerce retailer.

In total, across its subsidiaries, CBD has a network encompassing 1,500+ stores and e-commerce and brick and mortar retail operations across five countries.

A perceived lower growth profile following a 2021 spinoff of the fast-growing Assai Cash & Carry business, the challenging macroeconomic and political environment in Brazil and Colombia, and the corporate complexity of an entity that has assets in five countries across three publicly listed entities, have resulted in subdued interest from investors in owning CBD shares. This has contributed to a stock that Amit believes is meaningfully undervalued.

Eaton: Well-Managed, Competitively Advantaged Industrial Leader

January 18, 2023 in Audio, Best Ideas 2023, Best Ideas Conference, Diary, Discover Great Ideas Podcast, Equities, Ideas, Member Podcasts

Christopher Rossbach of J. Stern & Co. presented his in-depth investment thesis on Eaton Corporation (US: ETN) at Best Ideas 2023.

Thesis summary:

Eaton, the US power management company, is a key beneficiary of the shift towards electrification. During its annual analyst day, held in March 2021, Eaton outlined its vision for the years ahead, as the transition to a low-carbon economy accelerates and as “everything as a grid” becomes a reality. As the sources of electricity become increasingly renewable and the uses of power more electric, the electrical industry’s role will gain in importance, becoming the central switchboard that powers the future.

“Everything as a grid” translates into “homes as a grid”, “offices as grid” and “datacentres as a grid”, fuelling demand for edge computing and distributed IT and leading to dramatic changes in the electrical value chain. Eaton’s decades-long domain expertise, rich IP, extensive network of partners and distributors and large installed base place it well in this rapidly evolving market.

In fact, Eaton participates across the lifecycle of different energy transition projects. EV charging infrastructure is expected to be a revenue-generating USD 0.7-1.2 billion opportunity by 2030, with Eaton looking to participate in 12-20,000 EV multi-charging projects in Europe and the US by 2030.

Larger-scale infrastructure projects will add additional revenue opportunities, with examples including flagship highway high-voltage projects in the US, Canada and China. Microgrids are expected to be a USD 40 billion market, supporting carbon footprint reduction targets as well as enhancing grid resilience, translating in a USD 0.4-0.7 billion opportunity for Eaton by 2030, with the company already participating in over 600 projects to date.

Finally, building applications is as a key opportunity, with Eaton tapping into demand for zero-energy buildings. The company believes it can generate USD 5.7 billion in revenues by 2025 in this area, a 30% increase from recent levels.

Trigano: Family-Controlled European Leader in Leisure Vehicles

January 18, 2023 in Audio, Best Ideas 2023, Best Ideas 2023 Featured, Best Ideas Conference, Diary, Discover Great Ideas Podcast, Equities, Ideas, Member Podcasts

Jean Pierre Verster of Protea Capital Management presented his investment thesis on Trigano (France: TRI) at Best Ideas 2023.

Thesis summary:

Trigano is the European leader in leisure vehicles. It designs and manufactures caravans, motorhomes, trailers, garden equipment, and camping gear.

The company was founded in 1935 by Edgar Trigano. The following year, in the wake of the political victory of the Popular Front, French people were able to take paid annual leave for the first time. Trigano’s canvas tents, the “Canadienne” (a square blue and orange tent), became an instant hit and sold by the millions. In 1981, Francois Feuillet joined the company and soon diversified Trigano into the production and distribution of motorhomes. Feuillet purchased the whole company in 1990 and subsequently sold a minority stake via an IPO in 1998 in order to finance a string of acquisitions.

Feuillet family members maintain majority control of this EUR 2.4 billion market cap business. Trigano shares have returned ~30% per annum over the past ten years but still offer significant upside. The shares trade at a single-digit P/E multiple even though sustainable ROE is estimated at ~20%.

Rogers: Improving Operations, Orphaned Due to Scuttled Deal

January 17, 2023 in Audio, Best Ideas 2023, Best Ideas 2023 Featured, Best Ideas Conference, Diary, Discover Great Ideas Podcast, Equities, Ideas, Member Podcasts, Transcripts

Christopher Karlin of Aquitania Capital Management presented his investment thesis on Rogers Corporation (US: ROG) at Best Ideas 2023.

Thesis summary:

Rogers manufactures high-performance engineered materials solutions for a variety of high-growth end-markets.

The company is a classic “orphaned stock” following a scuttled merger with DuPont due to lack of Chinese regulatory approval. Rogers lost its traditional shareholder base during the merger, analysts stopped following the company, no earnings calls have been held since mid-2021, and in the last year, supply chain issues caused profitability to decline.

The company has a healthy growth outlook and a solid balance sheet and should be able to return to historical profit margins in 2023-2024. Growth should accelerate in subsequent years. The expected performance turnaround, combined with a resumption of the company’s investor relations efforts, should prevent the stock from remaining orphaned for long.

SAP: SaaS Transition, Acquired Business Growth, Margin Expansion

January 17, 2023 in Audio, Best Ideas 2023, Best Ideas 2023 Featured, Best Ideas Conference, Diary, Discover Great Ideas Podcast, Equities, Ideas, Member Podcasts

Frank Fischer of Shareholder Value Management presented his investment thesis on SAP (Germany: SAP, US: SAP) at Best Ideas 2023.

Thesis summary:

SAP is a global leader in the enterprise resource planning (ERP) software market, with a focus on large corporates.

Frank’s thesis consists of a few key building blocks:

  • The S4 HANA transition
  • Continued strong growth in acquired businesses
  • Some degree of margin expansion

The S4 HANA transition is both

  • a migration of SAP R3 customers towards the new version S4 of SAP’s flagship ERP software
  • a further migration of clients from a historically on prem environment to a cloud environment, in various forms (hybrid, public cloud, private cloud)

This transition should bring a strong revenue and profit uplift, not dissimilar to other cloud transitions. Predictability is relatively high, and it appears likely that a large portion of customers will stick with SAP and convert, but the pace of the conversion is unclear. In past years, SAP had acquired fast-growing, cloud-native companies, including Qualtrics, Ariba, Concur, and Fieldglass.

The second aspect of the thesis is that these businesses will keep growing nicely for quite a few years to come. Some of them, e.g., Ariba and Concur, suffered during the Covid years, but with the recovery of corporate travel should resume the previous strong trends.

Third, Frank assumes some margin expansion. SAP technically has a lot of margin potential if we compare their profile to peers such as Oracle; but actually only the realization of a little bit is part of Frank’s thesis.

A final aspect is that SAP, with their focus primarily on large corporate customers, the critical nature of their systems for the customers and the large share of recurring revenues, is a relatively predictable and defensive pick.

At the recent price of roughly €100 per share, Frank estimates a five-year total shareholder return of 11% annually.

Thor Industries: Well-Managed Leader in Oligopolistic, Rational Industry

January 17, 2023 in Audio, Best Ideas 2023, Best Ideas 2023 Featured, Best Ideas Conference, Diary, Discover Great Ideas Podcast, Equities, Ideas, Member Podcasts

Javier López Bernardo of BrightGate Capital presented his in-depth investment thesis on Thor Industries (US: THO) at Best Ideas 2023.

Thesis summary:

Thor Industries is a US-based manufacturer of recreational vehicles (RVs), both trailers and motorhomes. After a decade in which the company has pursued a well-executed acquisition policy to consolidate the industry, THOR is the undisputed leader by market share and product breadth. The RV manufacturing industry presents attractive characteristics for investors with a long-term time horizon. In addition, the management team (along with the company’s chairman emeritus) is aligned with shareholders and has extensive experience in the industry.

Main points of the investment thesis

Although a cyclical industry, the RV sector is a niche market with a stable oligopolistic structure, a long and consistent history of strong shareholder value creation and virtually no competition from foreign producers. These characteristics have meant that THOR has not posted a loss-making year in the past three decades.

THOR has leading positions in both the towable and motorized vehicle segments, with market shares in 2022 of 41% and 48%, respectively. Although the RV manufacturing process is not highly automated, so economies of scale from higher production levels are modest at best, the size helps in dealing with distributors and suppliers and establishing best practices. THOR also has a leading position in the European market thanks to the acquisition of Erwin Hymer Group (EHG) in 2019. The European market is much more fragmented than the U.S. market and could be a source of future growth for THOR.

THOR has a strong balance sheet and an attractive shareholder remuneration program, consisting of a growing dividend and a $600 million share repurchase authorization through 2025 (approximately 15% of current market cap).

THOR’s stock valuation discounts very pessimistic scenarios going forward. At $75 per share, the company has an EV of approximately $5.5 billion, implying EV/NOA’22 and EV/NOI’22 multiples of 1.1x and 5.7x, respectively. On a leveraged basis, THOR trades at a P/BV of 1.1x and a P/E’22 of 4.4x. Given that THOR’s average return on net operating assets (RNOA) has been around 20% over the past decade (ROE of 19%), and residual earnings have grown at a good pace, the level of discount at which the shares are trading is excessive. Assuming an 8% discount rate (EV), a 2% growth rate in residual earnings and much lower future RNOA (14%), would yield a target price of $160, implying a return on equity of 15.4% in perpetuity.

Downside risks

  • Long-term demand in the US stabilizes below 350k units, either due to lack of interest or because the economic slowdown is longer than expected.
  • The RV components industry has become very consolidated in the last decade (LCI Industries, Patrick Industries), and while the relationship is good, further consolidation could erode THOR’s bargaining power.
  • Although the RV distribution industry is currently highly fragmented, there is being a flurry of consolidation by some players (RV Retailer, Camping World) that could weaken THOR’s bargaining power in the long run.
  • In the long term, the introduction of autonomous RVs may spark interest from auto OEMs to participate in the RV industry, increasing competition.

Upside drivers

  • Share repurchases at (or below) these levels.
  • THOR keeps acquiring European companies at reasonable valuations to consolidate the industry.
  • Additional upstream acquisitions components at reasonable valuations.
