What does Boom do?
Provides cranes, project management and engineering services to customers in a diverse set of industries including:
- Mining
- Utilities
- Infastructure
- Telecommunications
Additionally their assets are avaliable for hire.
Moat:
Other than being one of the largest (or the largest) provider of cranes in Australia I don't see anything that stands out as a 'Moat' other than the scale that they already have
Why am I buying:
- Leveraged to infastructure and mining spend
- Trading around Net Tangible Assets (even after stripping out 'Right of use assets'), roughly 21 cps in assets.
- Strong underlying cashflows ($14.4M for HYE December 2020)
- 3.95x Enterprise Value / Free Cash Flow
- They are almost consitantly profitable from the last few halves on an EBIT basis. One of the main drivers that swings the results to ongoing losses is depreciation on Cranes and Equipment (Which I argue are an actual cost to the business when a sufficent Return on Assets is not present)
When I would Sell:
- Consistent declines in revenue
- Blow out in shares on issue
- Not winning new projects
- When share price rises a bit above NTA (progressive sell down and move to other opportunities)
