“Graham’s Geiger counter”
Benjamin Graham suggested that one way to measure the valuation of the overall market was to assess the number of net-nets available. When many such opportunities exist, it indicates a cheap market overall, while their absence suggests that the market is expensive. Today’s net-nets, however, are not the same as Graham’s net-nets. Many are un-investable being Chinese RTO’s, loss-making biopharma’s etc. But we do think it is interesting to follow this number over time, and what percentage of total listed stocks qualify as a “naked” net-net without any type of quality adjustments to make them investable. Below is a net-net screen from Stockopedia.

FEERUM S.A. announced that on May 5, 2025, it signed a contract with Gospodarstwo Rolne Jegliński sp. z o.o. for the construction of a storage and distribution center, including technical infrastructure, to be located in Rościszewo Nowe.

P/TB 0.38 │ URL
Izostal S.A. has released its preliminary estimated financial results for the first quarter of 2025, indicating a strong year-over-year growth. Sales revenue doubled to PLN 305.4 million compared to PLN 152.8 million in Q1 2024. Gross profit from sales increased by 84% to PLN 25.6 million, while EBITDA rose by 26% to PLN 11.5 million. Net profit slightly improved by 2% to PLN 3.2 million.

Despite higher sales costs and increased interest expenses due to high financing needs and prevailing interest rates, the company maintained profitability.

The company reported total assets of PLN 170.3 million and equity of PLN 76.2 million, with book value per share stable at PLN 25.39.

Stalprofil (STF) - Reports Preliminary Q1 2025 Results
P/TB 0.31 │ URL
Stalprofil S.A. announced preliminary financial results for Q1 2025, reporting a 38% year-on-year increase in standalone sales revenue to PLN 278.7 million. However, despite higher revenues, the company posted a net loss of PLN 0.8 million compared to a profit of PLN 3.0 million in Q1 2024. The negative result was mainly due to weak market conditions in the steel distribution sector, where low demand and intensified competition led to falling steel prices and shrinking margins. The average price of key products, such as the HEB 200 profile, declined by 3.2% year-on-year. On the positive side, the infrastructure segment, particularly gas pipeline projects, contributed positively, including work on a major FSRU terminal contract valued at over PLN 288 million. The diversified business strategy, spanning steel trade, steel structure production, anti-corrosion insulation, and gas pipeline construction, helped mitigate challenges in the steel market. At the group level, estimated Q1 2025 consolidated revenue reached PLN 573.3 million, with a net profit of PLN 2.45 million. Results reflect the impact of impairments and provisions recognized by the company.
