Matthias Riechert presented his in-depth investment thesis on Judges Scientific (London: JDG) at European Investing Summit 2016.
Joining Matthias for the session is Dhiren Joshi, a Master of Finance student at London Business School, specializing in value investing. Dhiren has been working with Matthias on a research project.
Judges Scientific, a small roll-up in the scientific instrument area, is a “young elephant”. It is young enough to enjoy a long runway of growth but mature enough to allow for a confident assessment. Judges possesses many of the elements that make a business great. Matthias therefore believes it is likely that Judges will reinvest free cash flows at high returns on incremental capital through thoughtful and disciplined acquisitions. After a disappointing year, the stock market has become pessimistic and now offers the company at ~14x 2016E FCF (owner earnings). This gives investors a chance to invest cheaply into a company that can significantly grow FCF for a long time, with low capex requirements and high returns on invested capital.
