Price Moves When Warren Buffett Buys and Sells (Based on May 16 SEC Filing)


Image Credit: Fortune Live Media (Flickr)


The Big Price Impact on Stocks After Warren Buffett’s Most Active Buying Spree

Warren Buffett and Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A, BRK.B) were actively spending down the company’s large pool of cash last quarter, just as they promised during their recent annual meeting. This makes sense as some stock prices are lower than they have been in years, and a few sectors are showing they could have plenty of upside potential. It makes even more sense when you consider that Berkshire Hathaway was sitting on $144 billion in cash. The inflation rate is now running above 8% and eroding the value of every unearning penny.

Jumping into the market can be costly if wrong, but investor’s ‘dry powder’ is being eroded with increased costs by the day – finding a place for money to grow by at least the inflation rate would seem prudent. The analysts at Berkshire Hathaway are certainly aware of this.

The positive impact of Berkshire showing confidence in a company is often all that is needed to exceed the near non-earnings holding a cash position. Below we look at three Berkshire Hathaway changed positions as reported on May 16, and then compare the stock’s price moves versus the overall market.

Where Did They Gain Exposure

As revealed by the companies 13F filed on May 16, as of March 31 Berkshire Hathaway added Citigroup (C), Paramount Global (PARA), and sold Verizon (VZ). There were older positions added to as well, such as Chevron (CVX), and Activision Blizzard (ATVI). But for the purpose of showing the power of Buffett’s believing a stock is attractive, or in Verizon’s case, no longer attractive, we’ll take a look at the market moves of these companies as of 1pm the day after the 13F was made public.


Source: Koyfin

The above chart of Citibank, Paramount Global, and
Verizon from the beginning trading on Monday compares the stocks to the S&P
500 performance during the same short period.

 

The S&P, as reflected during the short period in this chart, beginning on the date of Berkshire’s 13F filing, shows the S&P 500 up 1.60%. This is substantial in a year when the index has mostly been delivering red to investors. Verizon was the most noteworthy sale of Buffett as they brought their position near zero. The company’s stock rose only 0.11%, well below the S&P benchmark performance.

As for the positions opened during the first quarter by Berkshire Hathaway, Citicorp shot up 8.28%. Paramount Global reacted even more strongly, rising double digits to 13.95%. 

Lessons

While an SEC-registered portfolio new holdings are kept close to the vest before reported in order to avoid insider trading problems, listening to what someone like Warren Buffett is saying at annual meetings and at other times can allow you to get a sense if they have been active, and in what industries. More important, is whether they are active buying or selling. For an investor that is holding a stock which a well-followed investor has decided to sell, can cause significant underperformance for at least the near term.

Other Pertinent Info from the 13F Filing

During the first quarter of 2022, the value of Berkshire’s US stock portfolio rose by 10% to $364 billion. Buffett had indicated the firm he manages has been struggling to find bargains in recent years. He blamed this on stocks swelling to record highs, fierce competition from private equity firms, and SPACs which increased competition and costs of acquisitions. Even Berkshire’s own rising stock price made it unappealing as a company stock buy-back.

A change of appetite took place in the first quarter of 2022. Berkshire bought $51 billion worth of equities and sold less than $10 billion in stocks. Its net cash reduction of $41 billion helped slash its cash pile by 28% to $106 billion. Q1 2022 marked one of the most active buying periods in Berkshire Hathaway’s history.

Take-Away

Well known, successful investors can either make a winner out of your holding or cause it to trade at a pace below the market. While knowing and trading on information before it is made public can get you in trouble, investors like Buffett do provide guidance. These hints as to their thinking and likely direction may help investors somewhat. This is why it always makes sense to know what they’re saying – it isn’t fun holding something they just reported sold, and the tailwind they create when you’re long the same company can be profitable.

Michael Burry’s Stock Market Holdings (Filed May 16, 2022)


Image Credit: Pixabay (Pexels)


Michael Burry’s Latest Portfolio Brings the FAANGS Out

On Monday, May 16, Michael Burry filed his company’s holdings report with the SEC. Relative to the previous quarter, there was significant reshuffling. While it’s rare to get an explanation of his thinking beyond an occasional tweet of warning or tweet of frustration, his quarterly positions report is worth reviewing. It lends a rare clue as to what the celebrated hedge fund manager is expecting.

Michael Burry’s thinking, reflected in Scion Asset Management’s 13F holdings (a/o March 31), are shown below. Following the holdings we offer company descriptions and some thinking related to a few of the holdings.


Source: WhaleWisdom

Why it Matters

The positions in Scions portfolio are usually few, quite deliberate, and not the result of herd thinking. During the prior quarter (Q4 2021), among the scant positions were two public prison stocks ($GEO and $CXW). While many pundits and YouTube “gurus” hazarded a guess as to what Burry may have expected to occur with crime, the positions may have had nothing to do with an expected need for jail cells. Following the stock tickers links above to the Channelchek reports discloses that public policy on for-profit prisons is in flux. The positions may have just been a play on policy direction.

Burry’s investment universe is broader than the average self-directed investor and even deeper than the average hedge fund manager. The positions report reflect just those required to be disclosed in an SEC 13F filing. With this in mind, out of the entire universe of public securities Scion could hold, there are only a dozen that Burry’s portfolio felt were worthy at the end of the first quarter. One is a Put position which effectively makes him short the stock and possibly expecting more red than green, but not necessarily.

 

 

Holdings Breakdown

Scion has a Put on Apple (AAPL) with contracts to control 206,000 shares. The portfolio is also long shares of two other megacap high-tech stocks adding to a similar notional amount. Of the three, based on price earnings ratio, Apple is by far the most expensive. Apple’s P/E is at 23.7 earnings, while Google/Alphabet (GOOGL) is trading at a much lower PE of 20.7x, and Facebook/Meta (FB) is even lower yet at 15.1x price to earnings. This AAPL Put may not be a bet against Apple as much as it is a play that FAANG stocks should trade with multiples more in-line with each other. If this is the case, he’s not looking to hit a home run, but instead looking for movement either down by Apple, or up by the two other FAANG stocks to net incremental capital gains.

Since the 4Q of 2021, he has held Bristol Myers Squibb (BMY).  Year-to-date 2022 the biopharmaceutical company is up 19% vs the S&P 500 which is down 9.8%. Discover Network C shares (DISCK) is his fourth largest by market value. The C shares of Discovery allow no voting rights. Discovery’s A shares allow one vote per share, and B shares 10 votes per share.

Moving down the list shows a very diversified portfolio of long positions including Cigna (CI) a health care insurer, Ovintiv (OVV) a Canadian based fossil fuel company trading at 8x earnings, and Nexstar Media (NXST) which is a media company that owns television broadcast networks not unlike DISCK.

Stellantis NV (STLA) is a Dutch automaker trading on the NYSE and London exchanges. It owns the Chrysler and Jeep brands as well as Alpha Romeo, Peugeot, and Maserati. STLA pays above-average annual dividends. It declared a dividend on February 25, with an ex-dividend date of April 19. The period covered in Scion’s 13F is through March 31. 

In the consumer discretionary category Scion’s portfolio held two companies month-end that stand to benefit as consumers fill their need to travel and play outdoors. Bookings.com (BKNG) which is a huge online travel website and retailer Sportsman’s Warehouse (SPWH) which is a small-cap value stock trading at only 3.75x earnings.

The last is a payment tech company called Global Payments (GPN). The company’s product line runs the full gamut of electronic merchant payment products.

 Take-Away

Dr. Michael J. Burry has an excellent record of spotting investment opportunities before the rest of the market. His picks are as disparate as the mortgage market in 2008 and GameStop (GME) in 2020.

The portfolio reported by the SEC on May 16, reflecting March 31 quarter-end holdings does not have a strong theme. The most talked-about position has been the Puts on Apple. As mentioned, that play may be more complicated and be a hedge involving other long holdings.

First quarter results reflect higher prices. Revenues in the 2022 first quarter were $14.0m versus $6.9m and our $13.4m projection. Higher revenues reflect a 15% increase in production and a 48% increase in prices ($10.03/mcf). As a result of higher prices, operating netbacks rose to $53.94/boe from $28.52/boe. This is one of the best netbacks in the industry. 

Cash flow is soaring. Funds from operations rose to $10.9m versus $4.8m. The company has been active with its cash flow increasing its capital expenditures, paying down debt, and raising the dividend. Working capital less debt switched over to a positive position a few quarters ago and is now $7.3 million. With debt levels soon to be eliminated, the stakeholder focus will soon shift to equity shareholders. We expect additional dividend increases in upcoming quarters and would not be surprised to see the company initiate a share repurchase program in 2023….

A New Credit Facility….Friday, CoreCivic reported it had entered into a New Credit Agreement effectively replacing the Company’s existing senior secured credit facilities. As of March 31st, CoreCivic had $167.5 million due April 2023 under its Term Loan A and $124 million due December 2024 under its Term Loan B outstanding under the old facility. Management indicated the possibility of repaying the Term Loan A out of existing cash once a new facility was in place.

…Equals Time for a Stock Buyback. Management has stated on numerous occasions that once a new credit facility was in place, authorization for a stock buyback program would be submitted to the Board. Given where the stock is currently trading and the strong, stable cash flow generation of the business, we believe the Board will grant such request. We believe a program in the $100 million range, or about 7.5% of the current market cap, would send a strong signal to the market….

Non deal road show highlights. This report provides highlights of a non deal road show hosted by Arthur Smith, CEO, to investors in St. Louis last week. Mr. Smith outlined the company’s dual-path of organic growth and a roll-up acquisition strategy. After completing six acquisitions in under 5 years, the company is on a path to achieve a revenue run-rate of $50 million in the medium term. 

Solid business metrics. Mr. Smith indicated a goal to achieve an organic growth rate between 5% and 10% on top of the acquisition-fueled growth. Given the low churn rate of the company’s recent acquisition targets, the overall churn rate is likely to be around a favorable 0.7% in the near term, well below larger peers that lack Digerati’s high-touch customer service. Attracting high-margin recurring revenue streams on multi-year contracts is a competitive advantage for the company….

Q1 meets expectations. The company reported Q1 revenue of $4.26 million, in line with our estimate of $4.29 million. Adj. EBITDA of $0.68 million was roughly in line with our estimate of $0.63 million. Management credited an increase in clients, as well as higher usage per client, as the catalysts for revenue growth in the quarter. Notably, the quarter reflected a significant improvement in gross margins, which were 47.5% and above our expectations of 46.5%. Management indicated that gross margins should approach 50% by year end.

A big win. During the quarter, the company signed a large Canadian bank. Revenue from the deal is not reflected in the quarter, but the revenue ramp from the new client will occur in 2022.

Outstanding Casper drill results. Garibaldi Resources released results from exploratory drill holes testing multiple mineralized veins and volcanic rocks at the Casper Quartz Vein System. Five diamond drill holes followed the first four holes for which results were released in February 2021. Eight of the nine holes have intersected significant gold mineralization, with increasing gold grades toward the southeast.

Promising Nickel Mountain target. Building on the company’s 2021 Z-Axis Tipper Electromagnetic (ZTEM) survey that encompassed Garibaldi’s 180-square kilometer Nickel Mountain – Palm Springs Project claim groups, three-dimensional processing identified several new low-resistivity ZTEM responses 5 kilometers northeast of the E&L nickel-copper-cobalt massive sulphide zone, including a new anomaly at the B1 target which has not been drill tested. The B1 target exhibited a consistent ZTEM low resistivity zone coincident with a near surface VTEM conductive anomaly. The ZTEM low resistivity zone extends to depth like the low resistivity zone beneath E&L….

NEW YORK, May 16, 2022 /CNW/ – Voyager Digital Ltd. (“Voyager” or the “Company”) (TSX: VOYG) (OTCQX: VYGVF) (FRA: UCD2) one of the fastest-growing, publicly traded cryptocurrency platforms in the United States, today announced revenue and user metrics for the fiscal 2022 third quarter ended March 31, 2022.

“We performed strongly amidst the challenging macroeconomic and lower trading volumes seen across our industry,” said Steve Ehrlich, CEO and Co-founder of Voyager. “Despite market conditions, we continued to deliver customer account and net deposit growth, while continuing to build upon our revenue diversification strategy.”

“With the announcement of the private placement of approximately USD$60 million, the Company has over $225 million of net liquidity, comprised of over $175 million in cash, and approximately $50 million in crypto. With the recent changes to our rewards model and actively addressing our cost structure to ensure an efficient use of capital, we are working toward a goal of returning to positive operating income, after adding back stock-based compensation, in early calendar 2023.  Ehrlich continued, “Additionally, in the quarter we successfully launched our extremely popular moon mode and on-boarded customers to the beta programs for both our debit card and desktop app. The debit card is on target and expected to be deployed to the remainder of the waitlist throughout the quarter and the desktop app is set to be expanded to a wide group of customers.”

The Company announces the following for fiscal 2022 third quarter ended March 31, 2022 Financial and Operational Key Metrics:

  • Revenue for the quarter is $102.7 million, up 70% compared to $60.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.
  • Operating loss is $43.0 million for the quarter vs an income of $29.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. Operating loss/income includes stock-based compensation of $5.4 million for the quarter vs $5.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, respectively.
  • Total verified users on the platform stand at 3.5 million, up 9% from 3.2 million at the quarter ended December 31, 2021.
  • Total funded accounts reached 1,190,000 as of March 31, 2022, up 11% from 1,074,000 at the quarter ended December 31, 2021.
  • Total Assets on Platform decreased to $5.8 billion from $6.0 billion at December 31, 2021.
  • Our headcount increased to 318 as of March 31, 2022, from 250 at December 31, 2021.

The company is also pleased to announce Ashwin Prithipaul as Chief Financial Officer. He comes to Voyager with deep financial leadership experience, including as the former CFO of Galaxy Digital. In conjunction with this, Evan Psaropoulos is moving into a new role as Chief Commercial Officer to build out the Company’s revenue diversification as well as partner with the new CFO in creating cost efficiencies.

“In closing, we strongly believe we are in the early stages of global crypto adoption. Voyager remains very well capitalized to strategically grow our business and serve consumers amidst a rapidly evolving crypto landscape,” Ehrlich added.
