Ocean Wilsons Holdings - Sailing against the wind

We forecast Wilson Sons’ (WSON’s) EBITDA to fall 6% y-o-y this year, still affected by the sluggish Brazilian economy and a tough competitive environment, before rebounding 10% in 2020. However, our Ocean Wilsons (OCN) 2019 forecasts are boosted by good returns in the investment portfolio. The business continues to benefit from the stabilising effect of the diversification of earnings by activity and currency and ownership of its international investment portfolio (OWIL). The current 42% discount to a look-through valuation is above its long-term average in the mid-20s.
