They are not active in the field of artificial intelligence, nor do they produce weapons or make headlines. But they are solid and profitable: companies with solid growth, stable earnings and healthy balance sheets.
However, they are still largely ignored - which is precisely why they are cheap.
Three cash flow gems from the German equity universe - stocks with stability, cash flow and substance - that usually fly under the radar:
$NLM (+1.03%) - Frozen food manufacturer Frosta
$EUK2 - port operator Eurokai
$CWC (+0.35%) - Photo book champion Cewe
Welt" has identified further candidates with the help of three key figures: Cash flow yield, dividends and balance sheet stability.
$KSB (-0.99%) - KSB. A company that specializes in pumps, valves and associated systems and is one of the world's leading suppliers. The share has risen by an average of 33 percent annually over the last five years, but is still cheaply valued.
$COK (+1.23%) - Cancom. The company is one of Germany's leading IT service providers and supports companies in their digital transformation - from IT consulting to cloud and security solutions to the operation of complete infrastructures.
$UZU (-1.16%) - Uzin Utz. The company is a typical "hidden champion": the Ulm-based family business specializes internationally in floor laying systems - from adhesives to machines - and is active in over 50 countries. Despite the weak construction industry, the company is proving robust. A solid balance sheet with a high equity ratio, stable cash flow and shareholder-friendly dividends ensure stability.
Six shares, six stories, one common denominator - solid figures, little hype and attractive potential
