@david_katunaric Have been shifting away from the US market and mostly buying in other markets. Results have been decent but just holding Microsoft & Google would have been better ;)
Anyone looked into Bloomsbury? The company has been underpromising and overdelivering. Net cash balance sheet & 15 times earnings is pretty good for a publisher. The Romantasy genre might continue to run. Really like the long lasting assets in this business.
@MichaelGielkens@ReturnsJourney Still amazed/surprised with the run Ferrari had. Know that at the IPO it hoped to be priced like a luxury company and many were sceptical. Now it trades at double the pe of LVMH.
@memyselfandi006@evfcfaddict True but why has it become more capital intensive? Inflation yes but this seems more than that. The high receivables are probably long payment periods from supermarkets. Any insight would be helpful.
@evfcfaddict@memyselfandi006 The asset base looks interesting. Brands are strong and the company has leading positions in central Europe.
Problem is that return on equity or higher working capital positions are not discussed at all. The company needs to limit growth in working capital to become attractive.
