Arcosa: Recent Spinoff, Undergoing Positive Business Transformation
June 14, 2022 in Audio, Best Ideas 2022, Discover Great Ideas Podcast, Equities, Ideas, Member PodcastsSam Sheldon of Punch & Associates Investment Management presented his investment thesis on Arcosa (US: ACA) at Best Ideas 2022.
Thesis summary:
Arcosa, a recent spinoff, is an infrastructure products business undergoing a business transformation that should result in a simpler, less cyclical operation.
Management is using cash flows and their underlevered balance sheet to acquire aggregates businesses in growing markets across the Southern United States while positioning its more cyclical business segments for eventual sales.
The shares trade at multiples below peer averages, and Sam believes the business is well-positioned to benefit from increased infrastructure spending and a recovery in several segments that are near the bottom of their cycles.

How do you model a DCF when management tells you this:
“We may earn a profit when revenues are high, and we may lose money when revenues are low, but our goal is to roughly operate the company at break even…”

About the speaker:
Christian Billinger is an Investor at Billinger Förvaltning, a family-held investment company with no external capital. The simplicity of the setup as well as permanent and patient capital provides Christian with the proper environment to pursue his strategy of identifying long term compounders.
Christian focuses first on the qualities of robustness and resilience which limit downside potential before determining the mix of returns on capital and scope for reinvestment opportunity that accounts for the upside. Often, these factors overlap with family-controlled management teams that more conservatively finance their operations.
Prior to Billinger Förvaltning, Christian worked as a European Equity Analyst for various investments funds. Before that, Christian was an associate at PwC. He holds an MS in Accounting and Finance from The London School of Economics as well as Karlstad University. He is also a CFA charterholder. He splits time between London and Sweden.
