Semapa

smallvalue — Mon, 27 Jul 2026 11:49:21 GMT

Brief Summary: Semapa is a Portuguese industrial holding company trading at roughly 11x earnings, with a 3% dividend yield and a 14% free cash flow yield. The investment case is largely driven by its 70% stake in The Navigator, which accounts for around 97% of Semapa's market value. Navigator is a low-cost, vertically integrated producer of pulp, paper, tissue and packaging with a strong track record of cash generation and attractive long-term fundamentals. Semapa is controlled by the Queiroz Pereira family, whose long-term ownership approach has been reflected in disciplined capital allocation and conservative financial management. Following the sale of Secil, the company now has a net cash position of around €780 million, providing significant flexibility to pursue acquisitions, return capital to shareholders, or invest in new opportunities. The main risks are its high dependence on Navigator, the cyclical nature of pulp and paper markets, execution risk around future capital allocation, and the potential for a take-private transaction given the concentrated ownership structure.

Soon Lian Holdings Limited

smallvalue — Thu, 11 Jun 2026 09:08:59 GMT

Brief Summary: Soon Lian Holdings Limited is a Singapore-based industrial distributor focused on aluminium alloys and precision engineering solutions for cyclical end markets, including semiconductors, marine, and industrial manufacturing. The Group has evolved into a higher value-added, processing-enabled platform with improving margins, stronger operating efficiency, and a net cash position of approximately S$3.2m. Market capitalisation is approximately S$30.24m (~€20.9m). The business is founder-led and family-controlled, with the founding Tan family holding a controlling stake of c.60%+, ensuring strong long-term alignment and capital discipline. At current levels, it trades at a P/E of 4.6x, or 2.7x ex-cash.

The outlook is supported by AI-driven demand for precision metals, an improving oil & gas cycle supporting marine activity, and higher aluminium prices increasing revenue potential, though earnings remain highly cyclical and sensitive to inventory timing and pricing discipline.
