Shin-Etsu Chemical (4063 JP) Salutary Earnings, Conservative Forecasts, and Another Buyback

By Travis Lundy

  • Shin Etsu Chemical (4063 JP) reported Q1 earnings after the close on 27 July, and they blew the lights out. Higher margins and 10-year record high Q1 progression ratios.
  • The company also announced guidance which was pretty healthy, but progression ratios suggest it is conservative.
  • The company announced its second ¥100bn buyback in three months. This one lasts 6 months so impact will be lower, but it will have some impact.

EzFill Holdings Inc. – Investment Thesis

By Ishan Majumdar

  • This is our first report on EzFill Holdings and we look to provide a detailed account of the various drivers that will be responsible for the company’s growth in the coming years.
  • However, it is trading at a revenue multiple of around 1x whereas it can easily command a 5-6x revenue multiple.
  • EzFill’s current share price does not reflect the potential upside of its huge revenue growth potential as well as its attractiveness as an acquisition target for oil majors.
