Valuescan

​ValueScan operates as a team of independent analysts with strong industry track records. Valuation is based on a standardised method for all companies, independent of their size or sector . Each report delivers a long term analysis of the business plan and cash flows per segment. The model identifies 3 main drivers that are examined separately : Growth, Profitability and Capital needs. Most equity research overemphasises Growth and ignores Capital needs. An EVA analysis is presented to back test the results. Valuation theory is simplified to a level that strikes the right balance between complexity and flexibility. Valuescan operates fully independent from financial institutions, companies or other conflicts of interest. ValueScan analysts avoid mass investor happenings and herd behaviour. The ValueScan method assumes that eventually a company will reflect its true fair value when hype or over pessimism normalises.

AGFA, Niche player in consolidating market

​ The current AGFA management can present a good track record with better results over the last 12 quarters. The pension problem has probably prevented a takeover by a bigger player and complicates valuation. We have taken a very conservative view in this issue by adding the pension deficit to the financial debt. If Interest rates normalise, AGFA’s current equity value will double by itself. However, our expectations of sales growth, profitability and capital needs generate a fair value of 5...

Fagron - Easy Cash Built a House of Cards

​ The stock is now left to market forces as consensus expectations are in free-fall. The company did not deliver enough information at the 1H15 results to make a fundamental forecast on sales 2015 and beyond. This could be related to the US investigation into compounded drug pricing. The company might not want to implicate itself before the end of the investigation. This process can take a year to 18 months before fines are imposed. It is clear the due-diligence in the 2014 US acquisitions mis...
