SaaS sold off as a sector this year. The Value ranks say the sorting still needs to happen by hand.
Hi again r/ValueInvesting, for those who haven't seen my posts before: I'm the GM of the stock research side at Obermatt, a Swiss investment research firm. We rank stocks across 60+ markets on four factors (Value, Growth, Safety, Sentiment) relative to their industry peers. Standard disclosure since I work there: …

Makes a fortune in cash. Costs almost nothing to run. Protected by patents until 2037. COLL at $35 looks too cheap.
TL;DR: Collegium ($COLL) sells patent-protected extended-release drugs for pain and ADHD. Asset-light, 61% gross margins, ~$290M owner earnings, revenue compounding ~20% for five years. Including ~$488M of net debt, the whole enterprise trades around 5.6x owner earnings. I think the market is pricing a cash-gushing business as if it's dying …

The ticker 3750 is the stock that foreigners can buy on the Hong Kong exchange. The other ticker 300750 is traded in Shenzhen. The Hong Kong shares trade at a 60% premium to the Shenzhen shares, but I still think they’re cheap relative to the fundamentals. CATL is the world’s …

Is it possible predict a bull run?
Isn’t there a paradox in trying to predict a bull market using current market sentiment? By the time sentiment is positive, prices have probably already moved up. But when sentiment is negative, most news will still look bad, which makes it hard to justify calling a new bull market early. …
