“Dana (NYSE:DAN) is a very well-run company in a cyclical, slow growing industry. Despite management employing an asset light operating model and doggedly maintaining margins, the companys PE multiple remains well below comparable companies with similar returns. This disconnect appears to be linked to a recent history of declining revenues driven primarily by factors outside of managements control, however, a growing order back-log is set to reverse this trend. The return of sales growth is expected to pave the way for increased margins and earnings growth. Together, these factors can drive significant stock price appreciation as they typically lead to multiple expansion on rising earnings. Moreover, even without managements growth expectations, the companys underappreciated business model provides significant room to buy back stock and increase dividends to ultimately boost stock price.”
I suppose you could do worse. Soros is no dummy when it comes to investing.
Agree.
He bought most of his Dana shares between $5-$10.
The stock recently hit a ten year high at $25, and it pays a 1% dividend on its steadily increasing stock value.
I have no idea if, or when, Soros sold any shares, so its possible Soros sold out before he made a lot of money.
That info would be in the hedge fund prospectus, but I don't feel like researching it at the moment.
