by

Image Source: Netflix Inc – Shareholder letter covering the fourth quarter of 2021 By Callum Turcan On January 20, Netflix Inc (NFLX) reported fourth-quarter 2021 earnings after the bell.

During Netflix’s latest earnings call, management noted that the violent Squid Game TV show had been … Read more

More First-Quarter Earnings Flying In: GM, Ford, Big Oil and More

by

Image Source: General Motors GM’s dividend yield and valuation opportunity are incredible, while Microsoft’s free cash flow generation and solid net cash position speak to tremendous dividend strength. We liked what we saw out of Union Pacific during the first quarter, and you have to be aware of Big Oil’s bloated balance sheets. All of this and more included in this piece. By Brian Nelson, CFA It’s puzzling to think about, but with the first-quarter 2017 US GDP print today, April 28, coming in at just 0.7%, below expectations, one wouldn’t think the stock market is near all-time highs. Interestingly, in the report, too, the weakest area came from real consumer spending, which registered a pace of growth as poor … Read more

Seeking Balance: What’s Happening in the Crude Oil and Iron Ore Markets

by

Image Source: Sollven Melindo Commodity prices are notoriously volatile as the global markets often struggle to maintain a sustainable balance of supply-demand. Let’s take a look at some recent developments and coming events that are impacting the prices of crude oil and iron ore. By Kris Rosemann We’re not rushing to add any commodity-based exposure at the moment. We have some of course – but we’re not looking to add more to the newsletter portfolios. For starters, the iron ore pricing market appears to be setting itself up for another period of pain, and we’re preaching serious levels of caution for those considering the space as iron-ore prices have already begun to descend from the peak of the puzzling early-2017 … Read more

The Real Reason Why Moats Matter

by

  Image Source: Ray in Manila Valuentum: We’re here today with Valuentum’s President of Investment Research Brian Nelson to talk about the concept of an economic moat. You think the concept of an economic moat is one of the most misunderstood topics in finance. Can you elaborate? Nelson: Sure, of course. An economic moat was first coined by the Oracle of Omaha, Warren Buffett, to describe significant and sustainable competitive advantages. Now, if you ask any business, they’re going to tell you that they have an economic moat of some sort, whether it’s some low-cost position or intangible asset or an impenetrable network effect. Investors today are at a disadvantage of misinformation given just how widespread the term moat or … Read more

In The Name of Our Independence and Integrity…For Goodness Sake

by

Last week, an article was published that associated us with hedge funds, questioned our integrity as honest hard-working equity analysts with years of experience, dismissed our fantastic performance track record and Brian Nelson’s Chartered Financial Analyst designation, tarnished our independence as an equity research provider, and offered another author in free form the opportunity to misinterpret our completely independent and unbiased thesis and address it in ways of their preference, belittling our entire team at Valuentum and doing irreparable harm to our brand and image, in our vew. We were willing to let it go, but then another article ran in the print edition Saturday. First, let’s address the online piece, and the print piece subsequent to this. Valuentum’s thoughts … Read more

Nelson’s Quick Thoughts on Midstream Energy MLPs

by

Image Source: Roy Luck Nelson’s Take We continue to be quite cautious on the midstream MLP business model (AMLP), including Energy Transfer Partners’ (ETP), given its extreme capital-market dependency (i.e. the continuous need for new equity and debt capital), and we maintain our view that the group is 1) inextricably tied to energy resource pricing, if not directly (5%-10%) than indirectly through the financial health of their upstream customer bases and 2) the credit markets via ongoing project-financing requirements and outsize debt loads. Many in the group continue to be capital-intensive, highly-leveraged entities that have little cash cushions on the books to handle exogenous shocks. Most, if not all, generate traditional free cash flow (CFO less all capex) shortfalls, after … Read more
