Wonderful Sky Financial Group: Extraordinary Valuation Anomaly

This article is excerpted from a letter by MOI Global instructor Mark Walker, Managing Partner at Tollymore Investment Partners, based in London.

Wonderful Sky (WSFG) stock continued to strongly underperform global markets in 2019. In each of the last two years its quoted price has lagged the MSCI ACWI by more than 40% in GBP. Throughout our ownership of the business we have purchased additional shares at lower prices. WSFG is comfortably the largest detractor from Tollymore’s cumulative results. In our two-year ownership our average purchase price was 1.22 HKD, vs. the current share price of 0.65 HKD. We haven’t sold any shares.

Before we delve into the investment merits, a thought experiment: what should the enterprising business investor be willing to pay for a simple owner-operated business which has a long history of dominating its niche; has generated 19% annualised revenue growth over the last decade to c.600mn HKD today (a majority of which is recurring in nature); and average net income margins of c.35%?
