Today’s post:

  • Stock #1 is a high quality (albeit cyclical) industrial at all-time low valuations

  • Stock #2 is a healthcare supplier (also at all-time low valuations)

  • Both companies have “needle mover” divestitures coming soon (catalysts)

  • Both companies are trading at single digit earnings and FCF multiples

Quick Value

Typically I cover just one new idea each week, but I have a lengthy backlog of names to work through and found both of these quite interesting at first glance. Maybe the work is a bit shallower than usual, but each idea is quite simple with hard catalysts on the horizon.

I’m adding these as “official” recommendations and buying in my own portfolio.
