Matthias Riechert, Portfolio Manager, Polleit & Riechert Investment Management, present his investment thesis on Judges Scientific at European Investing Summit 2016. Here’s a snapshot:
JUDGES SCIENTIFIC (London: JDG), a small roll-up in the scientific instrument area, is a “young elephant”. It is young enough to enjoy a long runway of growth but mature enough to allow for a confident assessment. Judges possesses many of the elements that make a business great. Matthias therefore believes it is likely that Judges will reinvest free cash flows at high returns on incremental capital through thoughtful and disciplined acquisitions. After a disappointing year, the stock market has become pessimistic and now offers the company at ~14x 2016E FCF (owner earnings). This gives investors a chance to invest cheaply into a company that can significantly grow FCF for a long time, with low capex requirements and high returns on invested capital.

About The Author: Latticework Staff
Serving the global value investing community: Since 2008, The Manual of Ideas has expanded to become much more than simply “the very best investing newsletter on the planet” (Mohnish Pabrai). We are now a thriving global community of intelligent investors, connected through great ideas, thought-provoking interviews, online conferences, live member events, and much more. Latticework reflects this growth. It also opens a new chapter in our efforts to bring together intelligent investors around a shared mission of lifelong learning. Prior to launching Latticework in late 2015, we reached out to Mohnish Pabrai and Guy Spier regarding the use of the name, as they are founding members of Latticework Club. Mohnish and Guy were extremely generous and encouraged us to go ahead. This generosity is reflective of the value investing community in general, which we have repeatedly found to be warm and welcoming — a great place to learn and build lifelong friendships. Thank you for being a member of our community. We hope you’ll find value in the content, events, and connections we hope to bring you via Latticework.
