The corporate is rising quickly, however loss making and elevated its capital in 2022. The corporate is a Spin-off of Hexagon Composites and was listed in 2020.
Hexagon is clearly a Hydrogen play with a spotlight of containers. Because the intitially hyped Hydrogen highway transport seems extra like a distinct segment, the share prcie has suffered after the intitial exitment:
Then again, the corporate has actual merchandise and a powerful order guide, however money is clearly a difficulty. Regardless of the in some way shaky funds, I’ll put hem on “watch” as that is clearly one of many extra attention-grabbing Hydrogen performs obtainable.

ECIT is a 2021 classic IPO and, apart from many different 2021 IPO’s, trades near the IPO worth. At round 39x P/E, the corporate seems costly in comparison with their comparatively weak margins.
I’m additionally undecided if AI (GPT-3) is a blessing for these sort of companies or an actual Menace. Due to this fact I’ll “cross”.
38. Kitron
Kitron “manufactures and assembles digital techniques and subsystems, from design, engineering, prototyping, testing to logistics administration, upkeep, restore and redesign of merchandise” and has a market cap of 514 mn EUR.
The inventory doesn’t appear to be costly at round 16x P/E, EBIT margins are solely ~6%, however returns on capital are fairly OK. The corporate has been rising properly over the previous years and they aim 10% development going ahead with 8% EBIT margins for the subsequent 5 years. Nonetheless, it doesn’t appear to be one thing that I perceive nicely and due to this fact I’ll “cross”.

Trying on the present portfolio, the main target appears to be on Hydrogen associated investments, a few of them listed. For some causes, the CEO simply stepped down in mid-December and the corporate known as of a particular shareholder assembly, which is generally a nasty signal. “Go”.
41. Self Storage Group
Self Storage Group is a 216 mn EUR market cap firm that provides self storage services within the nordics. As with virtually all actual property firms, I discover it tremendous onerous to judge. I even have little or no insights into this subsection of the property enterprise, due to this fact I’ll “cross”.
42. Jaren Sparebanken
Jaren is one other, 110 mn EUR market cap native financial savings financial institution. The corporate trades at 11,5x P/E and 0,5x guide worth, however ROE is tremendous low at 4,5%. “Go”.

To me it isn’t clear how this “pandemiic lottery winner” will do in an atmosphere like as we speak. The current drop in revenue clearly signifies some bigger troubls. As I like to remain out of bother, I’ll “cross”.
45. Grieg Seafood
Grieg is an 810 mn EUR market cap fish farming firm that farms Atlantic Salmon. They appear to be energetic in Norway and Canada.
At a primary look, Slamon farming seems like a unstable enterprise. with margins oscillating between -10 and +30% over the previous 10-15 years:
This ends in a really unstable chart as we are able to see on this graph:
From a low of ~4 NOk/share, Grieg elevated by virtually 40x till early 2022 earlier than then dropping by -50% inside a couple of weeks. Grieg appears to be hit by the shock “Seafood Tax” from the Norwegian Authorities, which appears to clarify the drop to a sure extent.
Salmon costs seemt o be fairly excessive in the intervening time and administration is optimistic. I’ve very restricted expereince with these sort of companies, however in my expertise, caclical shares shouldn’t be purchased when issues look good and the shares look low-cost, moderately on the contrary. Due to this fact, I’ll “cross”.
