My Thoughts 💭My Thoughts 💭

Another construction company part of the AI buildout. Let’s see if this company is worth spending sats on.

At 1.5M sats per share ($63,342), and no dividend investors will see a return on investment by growth or continued pumping by AI hungry in investors.

The company trades at a PE 84 which means investors are paying $84 access $1 of earnings. Ungodly expensive for a construction company.

Let’s review some key fundamentals to determine if this stock is worth spending sats on.

The fundamentals of this company are decent. The balance sheet is good, the growth prospects are good (projected grow slower than bitcoin), higher profit margin than normal for a construction company, a CEO who is compensated fairly.

So what’s not to like?

The extremely elevated valuation. 84 times earnings is bonkers especially for a construction company that doesn’t pay a dividend.

From a Bitcoiner perspective. Paying ₿1.5M for one share is a bit steep. Since the valuation is so high and it doesn’t pay a dividend the risk of losing your sats goes up very quickly. Especially over 90% of the float is owned by institutions.

Here is the performance according to Simply Wall Street

This AI hype is pushing up construction companies up to crazy valuations. This is a decent business but not at this price. Save the sats wait for Wall Street to dump this stock then pick up some shares at a much better valuation.
