NIL B.STO - Nilorn Worldwide

[flesh]

Hey guys this is one I've recently invested in. I'll keep this short. Had to add one idea for the year.

 

1. Look at HKD to SEK translational effects.

2. Look at ROC/greenfield/organic

3. Consider their niche/size vs TAM

4. Dividend in relation to growth

5. Size, recency of listing

6. Runway

7. Recent inventory changes

8. Increase in employees/reason for increase vs past vs your expectation of future as a % of operating costs.

9. They report twice in the next couple months. 2nd quarter disproportionately important

10. Balance sheet

11. If it's more complicated than this, I'm probably wrong.

Interesting idea. Are you Swedish? Could you tell us anything about the Stillström family who apparently own a majority of voting rights?

[Snorky]

I really like this company...still looking for a broker to buy in Sweden (I’m german). Planning to open a position here.

Anyone live in Salt Lake? Anyone interested in meet ups?

Just fyi, Cureen Capital is long (big position I believe). Mentions it in some of his investor letters.

 

Looked at it briefly a couple of times. Numbers look good, and I like that it is such a boring niche. But why do you think they can continue growing? What's the secret sauce?

Stillerström´s are great capital allocators, they run the investment company http://www.traction.se/sv/.

Normally they invest in deep value-businesses and help them out by adding competens to the leadership.

Anyone still following this?

 

It has sold significantly down after a some rough q'rtly results. I think a case can be made that, counter intuitively, this is a somewhat moat-y business. It also has a history of strong ROIC #s under the current CEO. That said, the gross margin deterioration over the last two quarters is definitely concerning. 

 

Also, does anyone know where to find insider buying/selling info for companies listed in Sweden?

Foreign Tuffett,

 

I apologize for being lazy [& tired]. Here is a direct link to a search result. I forgot, that the "ö" may be teasing your search efforts. Also, Flesh has been a bit sluppy with the topic title in this topic. [Flesh, if you read this, please don't take it seriously [ : - ) ].]

Yeah, looks somewhat interesting. Stillstrom also bought back 2% of shares outstanding at 56 SEK in August. Insiders have been dumping the past few years in the 70-110 SEK range.

 

The track record of Traction AB itself doesn't seem too shabby either.
