Price is Key
Thoughts of the Week
In “It’s Time to Consider Small and Beautiful” on January 11, it was mentioned that the PE ratio of clustered leading stocks had risen to 51.35 times, and it was possible to switch to relatively undervalued “small and beautiful” stocks. As of March 5, the PE of brand leading stocks has fallen by 20%, while a batch of small and medium-sized stocks have seen gratifying gains. Data shows that among the top 100 stocks by gain, 94 have a total market capitalization of less than 10 billion. Buffett talks about stocks by focusing on three aspects: whether the industry has growth potential, whether the company management is excellent, and whether the stock price is cheap. Among these, whether the stock price is cheap is what short-term investment should focus on the most. “Cheap” has two meanings: one is horizontal relative price; if your PE is low and others’ PE is high, you are cheap. The trend of funds always flows from high-PE industries to low-PE industries. The industries or themes with good gains in A-shares every year are those that had poor gains and no one paid attention to before. The second is vertical relative price, that is, compared with itself, the price of a high-quality company in a high-growth industry must be constantly rising.
