Valens Credit Weekly Insights - 2024 02 20
nVent (NVT) has been rolling up the protected enclosure business to become a key vendor to the “electrification of everything” trend related to the modernization of American corporate infrastructure. Uniform Accounting highlights that the market is missing nVent's improving competitive position and its massive upcoming tailwinds, indicating equity upside.nVent is looking to become a one-stop shop for all types of enclosures, fastenings, and thermal management solutions for electrical components. Coming out of the pandemic, corporations are in desperate need to reinvest in their infrastructure, which is a massive tailwind for nVent. The company's Uniform ROA has consistently been above 25%, and as it is able to more efficiently use its existing distribution to gain share as demand accelerates, returns could continue expanding.
nVent's management is closely aligned to focus on metrics that will incentivize revenue growth, asset efficiency, and margin expansion margins, all of which should drive profitability and growth higher than the market expects.
Management's confidence in its Q4 earnings call about its demand as well as its M&A approach suggests it is executing in the right areas to meet the company's strategic goals.

In 2009, just as the dust was settling from the last major equity and credit market crises, we launched a boutique research firm with the intention of breaking Wall Street’s biases and broken incentives:
- GAAP and IFRS have failed to provide rules for reliable financial statement reporting
- Stock analyst recommendations are not grounded in disciplined financial analysis
- Credit agencies have been set up to grossly fail in their responsibilities to investors and the public markets
- Utter lack of willingness of major research firms to employ the the most advanced forensic analysis available
We sought to provide investors and company analysts with a source of information that changed all that.
Many years later, our business model remains because little has changed on Wall Street.
- Corporate credit ratings remain years behind the fundamental underpinnings of company performance
- Stock analysts continue to make recommendations with deeply inherent biases
- Research firms have failed to break down the walls between credit, equity, and macroeconomic research
- The governing accounting bodies have created more leeway for mis-estimates and mis-classifications as financials have become unwieldy and overwhelming
The integrity of Valens Research is founded in our disciplined processes and analytics. No “star” analysts. No corporate advisory relationships. No-nonsense opinions and recommendations.
