Let’s take a closer look at a couple of our picks from the screened companies.
Overview: Acerinox, S.A. is a global manufacturer and marketer of stainless steel products with operations in Spain, the United States, Africa, Asia, and Europe, holding a market cap of approximately €2.67 billion.
Operations: The company’s revenue primarily comes from its Stainless Steel Business, generating approximately €4.09 billion, and its High Performance Alloys segment, contributing around €1.43 billion.
Estimated Discount To Fair Value: 45.4%
Acerinox is trading at €10.69, significantly below its estimated fair value of €19.59, suggesting it is highly undervalued based on discounted cash flow analysis. Despite a recent decline in sales to €5.41 billion for 2024, earnings grew by 25.4% last year and are expected to grow significantly over the next three years, outpacing the Spanish market’s growth rate. However, its dividend yield of 5.8% isn’t well-covered by free cash flows and debt coverage remains a concern.
Overview: S.P.E.E.H. Hidroelectrica S.A. is a Romanian company engaged in the production and supply of hydro, wind, and energy electricity with a market cap of RON52.18 billion.
Operations: Hidroelectrica generates and supplies electricity through its hydro and wind energy segments in Romania.
Estimated Discount To Fair Value: 44.8%
S.P.E.E.H. Hidroelectrica is trading at RON 116, well below its estimated fair value of RON 210.19, highlighting significant undervaluation based on discounted cash flow analysis. Despite recent declines in quarterly sales and net income to RON 1,868.17 million and RON 589.22 million respectively, revenue and earnings are forecast to grow faster than the Romanian market at 9.9% and 12.8% annually. However, its high dividend yield of 12.06% is not well-covered by earnings or free cash flows.
Overview: Knorr-Bremse AG, along with its subsidiaries, specializes in the development, production, and marketing of brake systems for rail and commercial vehicles as well as other safety-critical systems globally, with a market cap of €14.14 billion.
Operations: The company’s revenue is primarily derived from its Rail Vehicle Systems segment, contributing €4.23 billion, and its Commercial Vehicle Systems segment, accounting for €3.79 billion.
Estimated Discount To Fair Value: 20.4%
Knorr-Bremse is trading at €87.7, significantly below its estimated fair value of €110.12, indicating undervaluation based on discounted cash flow analysis. Despite a slight decrease in quarterly revenue to €2.04 billion and net income to €135 million, earnings are projected to grow 23.3% annually over the next three years, surpassing the German market growth rate of 16.2%. However, its dividend history remains unstable despite recent increases.
