Crest Nicholson: Debt-Free, Undervalued UK Homebuilder

Daniel Gladis of Vltava Fund presented his in-depth investment thesis on Crest Nicholson (UK: CRST) at European Investing Summit 2018.

Thesis summary:

Crest Nicholson is an established UK house builder with 50+ years of business history. It operates in an industry where long-term positives (housing shortage) is fighting medium-term headwinds (house prices and affordability, questions regarding government support) and short-term uncertainties (Brexit).

The business itself is rather simple and understandable, generating high returns on capital and high free cash flow.

With the dividend yield a lot higher than PE it seems to be priced for a recession. The company is debt-free and the balance sheet structure provides reasonable long-term downward protection.
