Amit Wadhwaney of Moerus Capital Management presented his investment thesis on Cromwell Property Group (Australia: CMW) at Best Ideas 2024.

Thesis summary:

Cromwell is an Australian property company that owns high-quality office properties in Australia, has investments in real estate-related funds it controls, and manages a range of real estate assets, primarily in Europe. It also provides property asset and fund management for internal and external investors.

A lack of business and geographic focus, combined with an inflated cost structure, has led to a number of years of relatively indifferent financial and stock price performance, resulting in an undervalued stock.

Following multiple attempts, control of the company moved to ARA Asset Management (a large global real estate asset manager), which has since been bought by a larger real estate asset manager. The newly installed board and management are expected to narrow the focus of the business while crystallizing some of the latent value embedded in the shares, likely benefiting shareholders.
