Sato Food Industries - $2824.T P/(NCAV+IS): 59% P/BV: 47% Negative EV
New writeup out now! This time, I cover a stable & profitable Japanese net-net with a 150% of market cap covered by cash & securities. I expect profitability to improve from here, driving returns. TSE reforms are the cherry on top! 🇯🇵 Link in comments/bio

One of the key elements of the $PESI thesis is its location just a few miles from the Hanford site. However, if the below cost of transporting LAW is accurate and permissions are sorted, it’s not really much of a moat. Small position, so I am trying to find holes in the thesis.

The combo of existing permits + 6M gal capacity + 100.8k gal/week surge capability + being next door might be good enough though.

My first attempt at looking at Korean net-net's. For deep value connoisseurs only.

Up around ~70% since publication. On Friday they announced a 2-1 split and an expansion of their shareholder benefits program. We have seen both increased profits and shareholder returns which has helped the stock re-rate.

Obviously, not as cheap anymore and shareholders outside of Japan do not benefit from the digital coffee vouchers.

After a year-long hiatus, I’ll publish a new deep dive tommorow! This stock came up on my Magic Formula screener recently. High growth, recurring revenue, network effects & favourable macro tailwinds. @InvestInJapan One of my favourite authors here has written a 2-pager on it.
By far my laziest idea. Some reasons I thought this Jocky bet $5592.JP was interesting 🧵 - Network Effects - Scale Benefits - Shareholder value+ IRR Focus - Disciplined M&A for Healthcare Software = Potential $CSU like strategy? - 20%+ Earnings growth projected but this could be sandbagging ??

Value investing is finding a Herman Miller Aeron chair next to a dumpster.
If you’ve never climbed into a dumpster to find something to sell, you’re not a deep value investor. You’re just a guy who likes cheap P/E ratios
