The global salmon industry is in turmoil as fears of contagion of the Norwegian resource tax hits the Faroe Islands.🐟

P/F Bakkafrost $BAKKA is down another 12% overnight, while the big Norwegians $MOWI $SALM $LSG continue to slide.

Let's take a look at the Faroe Islands 🧵👇 Image 1. Yesterday I looked at Norway's resource tax and figured it was too difficult to find a good risk/reward bet. Right now the best forecasters of European monetary and fiscal policy seem to be a random number generator. Today I'm looking at Faroe Islands.

Norwegian salmon stocks have collapsed overnight, with the Government threatening a 40% super-resource tax.

$SALM.OL Salmar -30%
$LRY.OL Lerøy -28%
$GSF.OL Grieg -26%
$MOWI.OL -19%

This would destroy the industry. Maybe.

Time to take a look 👇
thefishsite.com/articles/norwa…. Norway produces over 50% of the world's Atlantic salmon. So this is kind of a big deal. Image

Delorean's $DEL $DEL.AX update to the market has left a fair bit to be desired. Engineering division has been decimated, financing remains out of reach, though retail is doing alright. Time to hit the panic button? 🚨

Let's take a closer look 🤏🧵👇 Image If you don't know what Delorean is, please don't @ me, just look at the original deep dive.

Clean Seas $CSS $CSS.AX FY22 results look really good. I recently spoke with Rob Gratton (CEO) and got to understand more of their business model and strategic direction.

Here's a short thread on my thoughts and why I don't hold 🤏🧵👇 The FY22 results look very strong. Volume growth (3.7kt), ~20% increase in pricing, ~37% revenue increase, 19% reduction in production costs, etc. And for the first time, profitable! 🎯

Lark Distilling Co. $LRK $LRK.AX FY22 results have come at the top end of guidance.

Asset base is growing rapidly, revenues increasing, though sales expenses are ramping up too. Meanwhile, no news on the search for a CEO.

Let's take a look🧵👇 But before we jump in, if you want to see the original deep dive you can find it on my pinned tweet along with all the others.

Treasury Wine Estates $TWE $TWE.AX FY22 results came out, and they're good considering the China wine-ban is still being flushed out. Total revenues down, but margins and NPAT are both up 🍷😋

Let's take a quick look 👇 You can find my original thread here where I outlined TWE as an asset play, with the hope that profits may return in due course.

Ridley $RIC $RIC.AX results are out and the share price has jumped +5%.

Headline results look very good with +13% revenues, +16% EBITDA and +70% NPAT. But, can this be repeated, or is this just a one-off? The P&L has some very good results in there for Ridley. The fact they are benefiting from commodity prices and the previous CAPEX cycle shows. 🤠

Amcor $AMC $AMC.AX $AMCR shows another strong performance with pricing power and earnings growth. Buybacks & dividend growth, but not quite as strong as some might expect.

Check out the thread link here if you want to see my deep dive and updates:👇
The adjustments make things look a lot better. But to be honest, the 4Q was heavily impacted by the Russian aggression to Ukraine and the subsequent impact on Amcor's Russia's operations (withdrawing?)

Duxton $D20 $D20.AX (basically a water-REIT) is facing some difficult times. Asset values are going up, but AFFO are drying up (pun 100% intended). Image Looks to me like they are losing long-term leases, and that means they need to sell more of their water on the spot market. Image

Genex $GNX $GNX.AX is a renewable energy company with long-duration assets. Not a fun place to be in an increasing rate environment, where the assets are treated essentially as a bond proxy.

Genex is down ~50% yoy, so time for a quick update 👇 Image The investment thesis is simple: buy renewable energy assets that are cheaper than the market's current acquisition price. Genex has risks, but it's also been de-risking.
Here's the thread of my original deep dive, also found in my pinned tweet🧵👇

CSL $CSL $CSL.AX $CSLLY has been Australia’s best quality healthcare company with a massive moat of blood. But, does its growth prospects justify today’s valuations?

With my mum becoming a subject in the Phase3 CSL112 clinical trials, it's time to take a deep dive 👇

Let's take a tongue-in-cheek dive at a a fast-growing DaaS fueled by milo 👇 Image Terragen is an ag-tech company focused on improving dairy outcomes for the environment and farmers.

Recently @EquityMates had a great episode talking about ag-tech driving productivity in our rural economy. It's the topic de jour in the rural circles, that's for sure! Image

With all the news of Covid lockdowns in China and ships backing up at every port filled with raw materials, it's time for an update from the fan-favourite Midway $MWY $MWY.AX 😬

h/t @puppyeh1 @charliesamuelk You may be aware that Midway has been queried by the ASX for not disclosing trading updates (results pending). During the query they flagged to ASX that the outlook for FY22 won't be met. At least they now are aware that is the case, and are disclosing it.

If you've anchored your portfolio with utilities and long duration asset plays, you mightn't have noticed the recent volatility. However, no doubt you've heard the commentary of increasing inflation and interest rates, and wondered what these risks mean?

🩸Cryosite $CTE

Let's turn over some rocks 👇 @iancassel recently discussed with @TreyLockerbie his strategy to microcap investing, which I am butchering here in my investment research process. Worth the listen.

Brookfield Asset Management $BAM and Mike Cannon-Brookes $TEAM lobbed an unsolicited bid for AGL $AGL $AGL.AX - which the board quickly rejected. So, let's unpack some of the valuations they're both using.

raskmedia.com.au/2022/02/21/unp… Since writing that article the market has opened, the board has announced their position, and the shares have surged by 10%. The ~$8bn is now looking like it'll need to be closer to ~$10bn - a lot of heroic assumptions to get there.
