Sum investors have learned that consistent growth delivers consistent SP gains over time. Maybe the elephant in the room just hangs around for the growth ?
Agree that are their core Merchant bankers are transaction orientated but obviously Quadrant and Macquarie may have had, / have different agenda's and or level's of patience.
Anyway... anyone heard when this antiquated market will open ? This is like being on a car journey and the kids asking are we there yet ?...except this time we are the kids lol
Had a good read of today's meeting notices. I am very impressed with the pragmatic and clearly broken down progress in the pipeline in all the levels of care accommodation developments. I feel the management team have very good processes and time tabeling that will provide the consistent growth investors are looking for.
I was particularly pleased to see the care beds are now being sold under the well known villa ORA model. That's the trick to the whole industries profitability. Plus the occupant pays high rent for the weekly care bed use where the villas are about $100/wk.
Its win win for everyone including the occupants.
Loving the comments about the care beds being needs based (and urgently)rather than a lifestyle choice ie villa.
So here we have a business that has increasing: assets, cashflow, profitability. Very low debt levels. It has long term high growth while paying a decent dividend. Guaranteed growing customer base. It supplies an award winning, quality service/product in an industry that is just too hard to start from scratch into.
And whatever way the PE is measured (I see it as 13.5).........its bargain basement cheap.
Why would Macquarie give its majority shareholding away at this level? Not saying that they won`t, who knows their mind, but I can't see why they would need to offer it at a discount.
Macquarie "owns" this as manager for an infrastructure fund which has numerous smaller investors. They were talking of winding the fund up next year, but the fund also has a larger illiquid asset - an unlisted port in Poland DCT Gdansk. I am guessing that until they have an exit strategy for the port, they will hold the retirement care.
