Essity: Consumer Defensive (Manufacture Tissues, Toilet paper & other hygiene products) Strong fundamentals, very defensive and predictable earnings with consistent global demand, outperformed all of its competitors in 2019.
*Market Cap = 212B
*EPS = 14.10
ESSITY_B Consensus Jan 2020 =F1 Jan 2021 =F2
F1 P/E: 20.10x
F2 P/E: 17.60x
F1 Earnings Growth: 22.38%
F2 Earnings Growth: 6.70%
F1 Sales Growth: 2.70%
F2 Sales Growth: 3.00%
F1 PEG: 0.89
F2 PEG: 2.62
Risk: Reflation of the global economy, and solid resolution of political tensions. And therefore a full risk on scenario and defensive stock underperformance.
Wesc: Consumer Cyclical (Trades Apparel & related products, under it brand name WESC) Weak fundamentals, very cyclical and “polluting” as it’s fast low quality fashion. Loss making. In desperate need of a turn around, I feel the business will not attract new talent (As the brand is notoriously NOT cool for millennials and gen z) and isn’t worth turning around as a brand, also no analyst and very hard to find relevant financial information in for the company.
*Market cap = 22M
*EPS = -0.0150
Risk: Merger, acquisition or turnaround. Otherwis I’d be happy to keep this position on for the foreseeable future.
*KEEP YOUR POSITION SIZE SMALL*
This is a risky pairs trade as WESC could get bought out, or turned around and go to infinity, but I’m betting against that.
LONG High quality Swedish Consumer Staple.
SHORT Low quality Swedish Consumer Cyclical.
