Owning the Bottlenecks: $ARM, $ASML, $CDNS, $KLAC

The global semiconductor supply chain is built on a handful of "unblockable" monopolies. My infographic attempts to map out the bottlenecks in the supply chain. Where do you invest? I personally own $Cadence Design(CDNS)$ , $Applied Materials(AMAT)$ , $Lam Research(LRCX)$ and $KLA-Tencor(KLAC)$ . $ARM Holdings(ARM)$ sits at the top. It licenses the CPU architecture and cores before any design tools or manufacturing begin. $Synopsys(SNPS)$ /Cadence turn ARM IP into layouts, and only then do $ASML Hol

Why Returns Don’t Always Compound

Here’s a checklist of what I consider when analysing a company: Financial metrics - Return on capital - FCF per share growth - Margin expansion - Debt affordability Supply chain - Market growth rate - Market share growth - Cyclicality Pricing power / competition - Essential or discretionary? - Affordable? - Alternatives? Valuation - Priced in growth vs actual growth - Forward FCF yield What would you add? And, In year 1, you invest $100 and get a $40 return. In year 2, you invest $50 and get a $20 return. In year 3, you invest $25 and get a $10 return. In each year the return on capital is 40%, but the growth rate was -50%. That's why monitoring invested capital is important - compounding requires reinvestment. For SG users only, Welcome to open a CBA today and enjoy access to a trading li

Top Dividend Growers Within High-Quality Growth Stocks

Here are the top dividend growers. $Texas Pacific Land(TPL)$ $Lasertec Corp.(LSRCF)$ $Wisetech Global(WIGBY)$ $SBA Communications Corp(SBAC)$ $OBJECTIVE CORPORATION LTD.(OBCLF)$ $Keyence Corp.(KYCCF)$ Interesting to see ATOSS software up there (now at a very interesting price).

Is $MSCI Overdue for a Re-Rating?

1.I recently added four new companies to my Global Compounders Database: $MarketAxess(MKTX)$ , $PTC Inc(PTC)$ , $GOODWIN PLC(GDWN.UK)$ and $Elmos Semiconductor AG(ELTTF)$ . 2. $MSCI Inc(MSCI)$ Is MSCI overdue a re-rating? Unlike other high quality growth companies, MSCI often sees its share price grow at a slower rate than its FCF. Consequently, FCF yield has been steadily going up over the last few years. 3. $Lam Research(LRCX)$ Lam Research is up 35% since I first entered in 2 months ago.

Badger Meter - A lesson in how to understand a compounding machine

$Badger Meter(BMI)$ is a company that I've been aware of for a while, but prior to writing this report, it was also a business that I knew very little about. I first became aware of BMI as part of my linearity analysis of the S&P 600, which is the US small cap index. Since their IPO in 1985, their share price has grown more than 25,000%, often with low volatility.Presented here is a breakdown of how I would analyse a company for the first time. Let's assume that we've never heard of this company, which for many, may have been the case. Here's a step-by-step process we could take in understanding the business further. The steps are categorised in to determining whether a company has predictable growth, pricing power and capital efficiency. At th

Evaluating Quality Growth Stocks: FCF Yields vs. Growth Expectations

Are quality growth companies over-valued?I maintain a watchlist of 45 quality growth companies. Currently, the average FCF yield is 3.2%. $Pro Medicus, Ltd.(PMDIY)$ has the lowest yield at 0.5%, and $Qualcomm(QCOM)$ has the highest yield at 6.6%. $Comfort Systems USA(FIX)$ is definitely up there, also $Fortinet(FTNT)$ and $KLA-Tencor(KLAC)$ . I also re-entered ATOSS Software.I also factor in growth.Qualcomm is the cheapest: 25% growth * 6.6% yield = 113Pro Medicus is the most expensive: 29% growth * 0.5% yield = 19I also look at it from the other angle, and estimate what the mar

Why FCF Yield Alone Misleads on Valuation

Here's why FCF yield alone doesn't tell you the value of a company.First example: The "expensive" company (2% yield) has a faster growth rate and consequently a higher forward yield than the "cheap" company (10% yield).Second example: Two companies have the same FCF yield. Which is cheaper? The one with the highest growth rate.PS: I forecast the future FCF yield and compare that to the current share price. That way I factor in both growth and the current share price.

ETFs the Market Is Missing

Here are three ETFs I would appreciate seeing in the market:1. An expensive company ETF - there are already "value" ETFs that hold companies with low multiples. But a low multiple is often because the market is pricing in less growth. A high multiple ETF should therefore hold companies that the market is pricing in strong growth.2. A business non-discretionary ETF - there are already consumer discretionary funds, but you're far more likely to find higher quality recurring revenue in companies selling essential products and services to other companies.3. A semiconductor equipment ETF - this would invest in companies like AMAT, ASML, Cadence, KLA, Lam, Synopsys and Tokyo Electron. Exposure to the infrastructure as a whole, rather than any one end-market, should hedge a lot of risk.What do yo

LRCX, MSCI, FICO, Visa: Capital Efficiency Standouts

Here are four companies that are becoming increasingly capital efficient - take a look at their cash return on capital. Which do you own? $Lam Research(LRCX)$ $MSCI Inc(MSCI)$ $Fair Isaac(FICO)$ $Visa(V)$ PS: I don't personally believe we can look at FCF yield in isolation. If a company has a 4% yield, but a 1% growth rate, then I would find that very expensive. If a company has a 2% yield, but a very predictable 25% growth rate, then I would find that very cheap.For SG users only, Welcome to open a CBA today and enjoy access to a trading limit of up to SGD 20,000 with unlimited trading on SG, HK, and US stocks, as well as
