Let's uncover some gems from our specialized screener.

Capital Southwest

Simply Wall St Value Rating: ★★★★☆☆

Overview: Capital Southwest is a financial services company that primarily operates in the investment segment, managing assets worth approximately $178.14 million.

Operations: Investment generates revenue of $178.14 million, with a net income margin of 46.81%, reflecting the company's financial outcomes from its operational activities and non-operating expenses, which total $70.65 million for the most recent period reported.

PE: 14.2x

Capital Southwest, a lesser-known entity in the investment landscape, has demonstrated notable financial growth with its full-year revenue soaring to US$178.14 million from US$119.3 million previously, alongside a net income increase to US$83.39 million. This surge reflects in its earnings per share, which more than doubled to US$2.05 from US$1.1 last year, underpinning potential underpricing by the market. Recently purchased shares by insiders further underscore their confidence in the firm’s trajectory and stability despite its reliance on higher-risk external borrowing for funding—a testament to robust internal expectations and strategic foresight showcased at recent investor conferences and through consistent dividend affirmations.

PE: -20.6x

Despite a challenging quarter where Delek US Holdings reported a significant drop in sales to US$3.23 billion and swung to a net loss, the company's board demonstrated confidence by slightly increasing its quarterly dividend to US$0.25 per share. This action, coupled with recent insider purchases, signals strong belief in the company’s resilience and future prospects. These factors make Delek an intriguing consideration for those looking at potentially overlooked entities within the market.

Notably, insider confidence is reflected through recent share purchases, underscoring belief in the company’s future prospects amidst its participation in high-profile industry conferences.
