$6346 Kikukawa is a growing and profitable net net. I am always impressed to see that such cases exist. They sell machine tools for lumber.

Walter Schloss on unexpected value investing catalysts. When there is simply more potential for good than bad, the price increase is generally not exactly the one you were expecting.

I suppose it's possible to find companies whose market price is growing slower than their fundamentals. keihin looks a bit like that to me.
@AltayCapital
has written about this one.
I have been looking for value opportunities in Japan over the last 3 years. It's still a good idea to explore the TSE.
I have found many profitable net nets. How come they are so cheap? There are many explanations.
What will be the next Japan?
I just discovered a new interesting market with net nets. 👇
Have you ever visited Kuala Lumpur, in Malaysia, it looks like a very dynamic marketplace?
I will post about several Malaysian companies, like Insas $3379.KLSE that trades at PB = 0.31 and PE = 8.55
If you have screened the Japanese market, you may have stumbled upon $6964, a net-net.
Price is 55% of NCAV
Price is 35% net tangible value
PE is <8.
Debt is low
Damn! Graham real life example. 👇
$9906.TSE is a Japanese former

$STF.WA : I stumbled upon this Polish net-net and I think it's promising. The EPS is at 4.5PLN (2022) for an NCAV at 9.2. One Problem, the float < 50%.
Hosiden $6804.T is a Japanese net net, growing and profitable. Sold it too soon at NCAV but the price continued to go up. What is your process for such cases? from NET-NET to garp? keep it as long as it grows?
more graphs here:
Solekia 9867.T was founded in 1958 and is a Japanese company specialised in business services and IT consulting. It is a growing net net with expected EPS of 937Y
NCAV = 9015Y
Cash per share > 10000Y
$7902 Sonocom is an interesting case to study for value investors. Market cap < Net Current Assets per share and growing book value cuz it makes money. Warning: no consolidated financial statement. I love their old website 😵💫

Japan has a lot of hidden beauties : growing net-nets. You can buy companies for a fraction of their net current assets, sometimes with undervalued real estate and even profits. $4231.T is one of them.

If I want to look at a company, I want 2 things cheap: 👇
capital, and then growth opportunities.
Hence 2 factors: cheapness and quality. Quality is mostly about ROA, low debt, moat. I focus on hardcore cheapness + BV growth + low debt.
How do you define Value? 👇
If you scrutinise Graham's criteria, you'll see that the first 5 factors look for low prices relative to financial statements 📕. The next 5 do not involve stock price, they are measures of a firm’s quality ⭐️.
Value = cheapness + quality.
How to generate big returns? Net-net case study: Helios Tech will be bought by RS Technologies at 825Yen. $6927.T
Nice hockey stick price surge. It was a beautiful Japanese net-net, full of cash.
For more ideas, theses and case studies, visit my profile.
Beautiful French net-net but ugly capital allocation. Let's talk about Passat $PSAT.PA. The margin of safety is quite clear.
Lessons learnt: sell when there is no margin of safety left.
I have more content like this to come. Check my profile.
$SFPI.PA is a growing French company, specialized in building security and comfort, air treatment and energy management. Recently bought Virio and WO&WO.
For more ideas:
I am quite proud of this one because I caught it almost solely with my graphs and I had a high conviction. Building my own convictions and feeling that I am autonomous and free is important in my learning journey.
What is your process? Have you a formal way of doing things?
Do you read financial reports?
I have found coding and python extremely valuable to me, but I still read the reports and everything I can related to investment ideas.
Is Michael Burry a value investor? 👇
I looked at his portfolio and some companies trade below book value and below net tangible assets, both growing. Look like value investing to me.
New case study of value investing the Graham way: French net-net that is profitable and benefitting from investment in oil&gas.
They approved a 5.00 EUR dividend paid from June 21. The Board okayed share buyback program: 10% of capital up to 18M EUR$ALGEV.PA
Growing Book Value + Net-Net, another example of value investing that paid well👇
The hardest question then is, when to sell? The BV was growing strong but I kept NCAV as the value proxy. No timing.
Asax $8772.T is a cheap and growing net net, the NCAV has been stagnating though. Asax is a very small cap, Japan-based, specialized in real estate equity loans, credit guarantee business and real estate sales business.
price = 70% NCAV and PE = 8
French paper industry: Exacompta $ALEXA.PA is cheap and growing.👇
Almost a net-net with growing book value and NTA.
I analyzed it and owned it a couple of years back. patience is key...
Share this post if you liked it :).

It's hard to know when to sell. Often, I sell too soon. If I found wonderful businesses at a fair price, I wouldn't have to sell. But I focus on fair businesses at wonderful prices because it's easier to me.
Main drivers of Japanese rally: cheapest developed market valuations + reforms + reassessment of the growth outlook, shift from deflation to inflation + corporate governance improvement + Money outflows from China to Japan.
Herige $ALHRG.PA is a Fr small cap in concrete, building materials and joinery. It was cheap compared to NTAV in 2020, and still is. But the perimeter has changed: HERIGE sold its Building Materials Trading to SAMSE Group.

$3236.TSE had appeared at the top of my screener for quite a long time and it is still a good one in my eyes.

Not a Net-Net, but I have a passion for medium sized industrial companies and Italy is a strong industrial country.
Emak has a growing NTAV and is priced at a discount compared to book value and 10 times earnings. Good will is high though. PB = 0.58, PE = 10.84
Look! Another example of net-net glass ceiling around NCAV? I think I will share a full document on that topic. Would you be interested in such visual studies? 👇
About Net-nets (NCAV): "Our purchases were made typically at two-thirds or less of such stripped-down asset value. In most years we carried a wide diversification here—at least 100 different issues." Graham
How can you make +67% ion 2.5 years with Real-Estate?👇
With Real-estate deep value companies. I had some success with MG Homes 8891.TSE and Shinnihon 1879.TSE
You can also look at the balance sheet and search for undervalued real-estate assets.
Value = Capital + Quality? 👇
Look at Graham's criteria: the first 5 factors look for cheap prices relative to value proxies from financial statements 📕. The next 5 do not involve stock price, they are measures of a firm’s quality ⭐️.
$ALMGI.PA and $ALPDX.PA are two companies involved in the swimming pool industry.
@LuchesiPhilippe
just posted about Maytronics and what they did to $ALMGI.PA, explaining why it's cheap compared to balance sheet and income statement.
MG Home $8891.T is a growing and profitable net net that I have been following for a few years but sold too soon. The recent drop in price may be an opportunity.
The performance of Buffet is incredible because it has been sustained for so many years. But my fav remains young buffet. I wonder why Schloss perf is so low... Any good book about Schloss?
NCAV: "The idea here was to acquire as many issues as possible at a cost for each of less than their book value in terms of net-current-assets alone—i.e., giving no value to the plant account and other assets." Graham
I have talked about realtors in Europe, but this Japanese home builder is much cheaper and better quality (low debt, current assets > short term debt). $8917 is worth further investigations. Compare with French $ALHEX.PA
Endo $7841.T On the importance of being patient: keep your position as long as see your margin of safety. Perform buffer management (green, yellow, red zones). I clearly sold while in the green zone...
"We think that a record of continuous dividend payments for the last 20 years or more is an important plus factor in the company’s quality rating. Indeed the defensive investor might be justified in limiting his purchases to those meeting this test." Graham
As Graham never stops reminding us, stocks do well or poorly in the future because the businesses behind them do well or poorly—nothing more, and nothing less.

Nippon Active Value Fund point of view - not looking for the best companies but:
- too much cash or real estate
- not followed by analysts
- open shareholdings and companies that can be influenced by activists.
(Not investment advice of course!)
"In 1951, many American businesses were still worth more dead than alive. Graham encouraged his students to use real-life examples from the stock market to illustrate this, down-and-dirty companies such as Greif Bros. Cooperage🧵
Backtesting Graham. It works.
I have been looking at several papers to see if the Graham approach is backed up by some studies or backtests and I found a few.
If you have good sources please share.
The results: CAGR about 15%... To Be Confirmed 😉
Hidden beauties : France has got some pretty net-nets for a long time, but most of them generate good returns once in a while.
Cofidur is one of them.

Malaysian Net-nets: let's continue our series about the Kuala Lumpur Stock Market and these exotic Grahamian stocks. Do you know this company: $7230.KLSE?
P/B = 0.62
P/E = 4.45
"A stock does not become a sound investment merely because it can be bought at close to its asset value. The investor should demand, in addition, a satisfactory ratio of earnings to price, a sufficiently strong financial position, etc." Graham
Diversification is the companion of the margin-of-safety. No big fortune were made with diversified positions, but many small fortunes were.
Walter Schloss had >100 positions at some point.
I like to imagine the way Schloss, Graham and Buffet used to work. They achieved staggering results with much less technology than we do. Good principles and consistent execution is the key. There's nothing as practical as a good theory.
One last puff of cigar butts. Focus on companies trading below working capital. Quick analysis, don't spend too much time analyzing their quality. But diversify.

Steve Jobs’ turnaround of Apple teaches us important lessons in value investing: even when a company seems doomed, there’s often hidden potential. Difficult decisions and a laser-focused strategy can revive a struggling business.
Investment is about real companies, supporting
When Steve Jobs returned in 1997, he had 90 days to save Apple from bankruptcy.
Everyone in Silicon Valley thought it was doomed.
Steve was right. Everyone was wrong.
It's the comeback story of the century and every entrepreneur must know how he did it 🧵:
$2168.T Pasona Group's strong financials and becoming a Net-Net company = special dividend of 60yen per share.
NCAV/price = 102% 2223Y per share
Cash per share 4900Y
