COMMENT

It is a tough market and 80% of companies are technically broken. Look for companies outperforming the others and that are good and getting better. Wait for the market to get a footing - it could go lower.

publishing / printing

BUY

Shares have fallen because of the general PE contraction in growth stocks. Also, their ratings business closed a merger last February, and it accounts for a third of company revenues and 40% of profits. Last month, they pulled their guidance because they saw the issuance for high-yield debt and leveraged loans dry up. Unusual, but it speak to uncertain about the economy. SPGI will add more insight when they report this month. She likes it that 76% of its revenues are recurring. The PE and share price are attractive and you can start a position now.

BUY

Warned yesterday on earnings. With higher rates, fewer bonds are being issued, so fewer credit ratings needed. Eventually, bonds have to be issued. A cyclical issue, nothing structurally wrong. Trades at 25x earnings. Don't miss a chance to buy one of the world's great businesses at a pretty attractive multiple.

publishing / printing

BUY

Pandemic saw lots of issuance, as companies shored up balance sheets and took advantage of low interest rates. Company indicates volumes, not necessarily profits, will decline this year. Maturing issuances still need to be rolled over. Recurring revenue from monitoring bonds. Developing new ESG rankings. Recent acquisition will be complementary. She'd add at this price level.

BUY

Old tech is different from high flyers that aren't profitable, and these have been hurt the most. SPGI is high quality, solid ROE. Price momentum has come off, baby with the bathwater. Reasonably priced, no debt. Small yield, reasonable payout ratio.

TOP PICK

They have 4 divisions. Their ratings business enjoys an oligopoly and makes up half their revenues; business has been strong in the last two years. They get maintenance revenues for existing issues, plus more as they issues must get matured and must be replaced. M&A has really picked up and so has benfitted their debt issuance business. Market intelligence business supplies price feeds for investment pros. Also, they are developing new ESG products. All these businesses are profitable and will grow this year.

HOLD

Very steady performer. Earnings will probably grow next year about 10%. Not impossible it could underperform the financials group. Best place to be is more direct exposure to capital markets and asset managers. Quite attractive as a steady growth stock. It's pulled back off the highs. Great long-term hold.

Today, he'd choose SPGI over MSCI, as SPGI does bonds and is moving into China. Both are great long-term holds.

BUY

A great business to own long term. They're in the bond business and SPGI boasts incredible pricing power. Developing countries like China don't have these bond ratings, so there's a lot of organic growth ahead. It's a new holding of his. He bought it on their big IHS acquisition. SPGI remains reasonably valued. It boasts organic growth and good managers.
