Brightstar Lottery 带着多年来最佳的头奖滚存环境进入第三季度。
作者做多 Brightstar Lottery,预期三大头奖收敛将带来第三季度收入增长,并将下跌视为价值投资机会。
- 罕见的“头奖收敛”现象,三大彩票滚入Q3,将推动疯狂的销售。
- 作为全球前十大彩票中八家的主要技术提供商,市场地位稳固。
- 在因Q1暂时性坏运气导致股价大跌后,估值具有吸引力且拥有8%的高股息率。
- Q1头奖连续被小奖打断,未能吸引休闲玩家,导致做空。
- 意大利超10亿欧元的巨额牌照费带来巨大的现金流风险。
- 市场对公司8%高股息率的可持续性存在担忧。
正如你们中一些人可能从我之前的帖子中已经了解到的,过去几个月我一直将这家公司视为价值投资标的。几周前,我注意到这不仅是一只价值股,更存在即将重估的紧迫可能性,原因在于彩票行业中一种罕见的现象——头奖汇聚(jackpot convergence)。
现在,你们可能之前从未听说过这家公司,但在我发帖之前,他们在彩票界的地位堪比你所能找到的任何巨头。根据他们的官网信息:"全球十大彩票中,有八家的主要技术供应商是他们。"
如果你读过我之前的帖子,可能会觉得我重仓买入一只股票有些疯狂,也许你说得对,我们拭目以待。但我已经连续数月每日核算数据,我对此深信不疑:由于头奖累积的势头,第二季度的表现将远超第一季度。第一季度对公司来说非常不顺,他们遭遇了几轮低金额头奖,且这些头奖被小额中奖打断,这无法吸引那些愿意为头条大奖冒险的普通玩家。这导致了部分做空行为,再加上为拿下意大利(其核心市场)高达百亿欧元以上的许可证费用带来的现金流风险,以及关于8%股息可持续性的讨论。股价因此大幅下跌。这正是吸引我买入该股的价值所在。
整个季度,Mega Millions 和 Super Enalotto 都未被赢得。这意味着这两个头奖正接近疯狂销售的临界点,恰好就在季度初。虽然本季度 Powerball 只中过一次,但随后立即滚存,目前已重建至3.5亿美元头奖,距离第三季度开始还有两次开奖机会。
如今,正值月底,这意味着三者都有很大概率全部滚入第三季度,而市场却完全忽视了这一点。一个头奖进入疯狂销售已属大事,三个同时发生,则对该公司而言堪称巨大利好。
此外,本季度公司还传来诸多积极消息:
第三季度将由新任CEO执掌;
股份回购计划已实际购回股份,暗示现金流状况向好;
新合同及续约已达成,或即将上线。
只要滚存纪录持续下去,我将继续增持该股,因为第三季度可能是他们多年来的最佳季度之一,尤其是下半年预计将有新合同陆续上线。
请自行研究这家公司。当然,这三个头奖都可能在下一次开奖中被击中,但即便如此,你依然拥有一家拥有长期政府合同、并提供8%股息的优质企业。
Give me 5 reason to invest in this trash instead of MSFT at 20 pe
You can invest in more than one stock without bashing it mind. Just take a look for yourself, it's a value play for sure.
But you didnt answer my question ? Is this trash a better investment than MSFT, META, MELI, NOW ?
You seem like a jackass lmao. Idk anything about the stock but “im not trying to be a jerk, but is this trash a better investment than blah blah” you keep calling it trash 🤣 that’s a jerk thing to do
You keep saying trash like it's a speculative small cap?
Nobody knows what will be a better investment. But if you'd like we can compare your 4 suggestions Vs mine over the next week/month and play who was right if you like? I've got nothing bad to say about any of your picks
I mean I think I did say 5 things in the post that were positives but if you'd like a quick list sure thing.
New CEO
8% dividend
Share buyback scheme is active
High jackpots increase sales
Secured new contracts
Brazil contract coming live, new revenue.
I'd be careful capitalizing the rollover into the thesis at all. Best in years is pretty much the definition of a non-repeating tailwind, jackpots are random and mean revert, so a hot Q3 mostly just borrows demand that a quiet stretch later gives back. The part actually worth paying for is the contracted systems and facilities management book, those deals run multi year and are sticky, and that's the real toll road here. If the bull case is leaning on rollovers you're paying up for luck.
Yes, I agree. But the point is cashflow, which is why the market has underpriced this company for right now. If cashflow is no longer an issue then the market will need to rethink on its price. We shall see soon enough I suppose.
