Investment Reflection: Stanley Black & Decker
Initial Investment Context On July 5, 2024, I made an investment in Stanley Black & Decker, Inc. $Stanley Black & Decker(SWK)$ at the price of USD 79.06 per share. This decision was made amidst a backdrop of mixed sentiment and market evaluations concerning the company’s recent performance and future prospects. Current Market Sentiment and Challenges Barclays downgraded SWK to Equal Weight in June 2024, setting a price target of $86. The downgrade reflected concerns over weak consumer demand and reduced enthusiasm from DIY (Do-It-Yourself) enthusiasts, who are significant contributors to the company's revenue streams. Barclays also suggested that Stanley Black & Decker would need to significantly ramp up its earnings per share (EP

Are Penny Stocks Worth It?
All these years in the stock market, I have seen many life changing events. There are millionaires made and also many lives ruined. Penny stocks are one of the reasons for these extreme life changing events. Before we begin, let me introduce what Penny stocks are. Penny stocks are small companies whose shares trade for a relatively low price. They may look cheap compared to popular stocks such as Amazon or Apple, but often they're much more expensive, despite their lower price tag. Penny stocks are among the market's most dangerous stocks, so you may pay a much greater price than you first expect, including potentially losing all of your investment. Here's what a penny stock is and why it's so risky to investors looking to grow their wealth. •What is a penny stock? The exact def

Clouded Judgement - Declining Growth
Everyone knows that growth as declined across the board over the last couple years. But by how much? I wanted to share a couple charts. The chart below shows the median NTM growth rate of the software basket I track. I add companies to this basket as they go public, and remove them as they get acquired. Outside of the obvious macro conditions, another reason for the median declining is that we haven’t had many new higher growth IPOs. As you can from the chart below, the median growth rate has fallen by ~50% in the last 2 years from ~25% to ~12%The below scatter plots show the multiple vs growth rate scatter from 1 year ago (top) to today (bottom). One year ago there were 8 companies with NTM growth >30%. Today there are zeroTop 10 EV / NTM Revenue Multiples
