Landi Renzo: New CEO Leads Emergence from Long Downtrend

Massimo Fuggetta of Bayes Investments presented his in-depth investment thesis on Landi Renzo Group (Italy: LR) at European Investing Summit 2018.

Thesis summary:

Landi Renzo Group is one of the two leading worldwide manufacturers of alternative fuel distribution systems for the automotive sector. This is done for the OEM market, where the company develops integrated systems for LPG (liquid petroleum gas), CNG and LNG (compressed and liquid natural gas), and sells them to car and truck manufacturers around the world. The company also serves the aftermarket with LPG and CNG conversion kits and related components.

While the megatrend in this automotive space is towards electrification, alternative fuels will continue to play a bridging role, as stricter regulation is increasingly imposed on fuel emissions, especially in emerging markets and for heavy-duty vehicles, on which the company is particularly focused. LR is also well positioned to benefit from a move toward hydrogen fuel cell engines, for which its products are easily adaptable.

The company has recently emerged from a long downtrend, under the leadership of new CEO who has driven a deep restructuring of the balance sheet and operations. The stock price reflects past difficulties and is cheap relative to future prospects.
