ANY Security Printing - Worth Thinking About Life Beyond HGBs

Worth thinking about life beyond HGBs

  • The market environment is very challenging as recession fears, uncontrolled inflation and higher bond yields fully confused the investment community. In addition to them, the war between Russia and Ukraine made the CEE region unattractive. In particular, the Hungarian stock market trades at near all-time low valuation (forward 12m P/E of 5.3x) and suffers from quite low liquidity, broadly attributable also to the highly unpredictable and always changing taxation in specific sectors in Hungary. As a result of the dried up liquidity in the local stock market, ANY Security Printing Co. has been also a victim as investors are looking for more tradeable securities rather than deep value this time around. Moreover, the alternative risk-free rate offers nearly 14% annual yield, making riskier assets less interesting for investors. So even if ANY offers a dividend yield of c10% after 2022 profit, the market cannot reward this at this stage as it doesn’t count on growth opportunities.
