Copart

Copart's sales in the first quarter exceed forecasts due to strong accident vehicle volumes. $CPRT (-1,97 %)

Nov 21 (Reuters) - Online vehicle auction service provider Copart (CPRT.O), opens new tabreported better-than-expected first-quarter sales on Thursday, driven by high volumes of accident vehicles.

Due to the increasing complexity of vehicles and rising labor costs, customers prefer to total their vehicles rather than repair them.

Improving the acquisition cost of vehicles sold by the company - which also offers remarketing services for the sale of damaged and totaled vehicles - has also significantly reduced Copart's costs.

Revenue at the Dallas, Texas-based company rose 12.4 percent to $1.15 billion in the first quarter, beating analysts' estimates of $1.10 billion, according to data compiled by LSEG.

Copart's net income rose to 361.2 million dollars, or 37 cents per share, in the quarter ended Oct. 31, up from 332.5 million dollars, or 34 cents per share, a year earlier.

Comdirect - Birthday promotion!

Good morning dear Quinies,

I became aware of a cool Comdirect promotion through our dwarf's junior custody account.

First of all: I had a custody account with Comdirect for many years before I switched to ING and never had any problems there and always received first-class support when I needed it. I only switched at the time for cost reasons. As part of the campaign that I would like to present to you in more detail, I have now opened a second custody account with Comdirect again.

Specifically, Comdirect is offering the following when opening a custody account until 05.12.2024:

• Free custody account management (already standard for regular savings plan executions)
• Free savings plans for the entire available range of shares, funds, ETFs and certificates for 30 months
• 3.90 flat fee per trade (i.e. no additional costs in live trading, otherwise plus exchange-dependent fees)
• When opening a Tagesgeld-Plus account, there is 3.0% p.a. for 30 weeks on this account for new customers

Why have I opened a second custody account there?

As some of you may know, share savings plans at ING are subject to a fee. In addition, unlike ING, Comdirect offers the option of adding other/more shares/ETFs (a number of growth stocks, REITs and private equity, which are not possible with ING) to a savings plan. This was the decisive advantage for me. Comdirect also offers the option of taking out a securities loan and opening foreign currency accounts. Of course, I also used a payback coupon when I opened the account💰(more content from me on the subject of cashback soon😉, I received/will receive 6,000 points, which equates to €60, so some trades would already have been financed).

Since my main strategy at ING runs fully automatically without any effort on my part, but I realize that I'm getting a bit bored without a bit of playing and experimenting in the investment area, I'm using the second custody account at Comdirect as a "gamble portfolio" for the next 30 months. After that, the securities will probably be transferred to ING and I'll think about what to do with them.

So I will invest part of my Christmas money (€2,500) once on 23.11.24 as a savings plan in the following 6 individual stocks and 4 ETFs and then save €25 each month on the 1st for the next 30 months (we are really talking about gambling money here, share of the portfolio <5% of my total portfolio):

$PLTR (+6,35 %)

$CPRT (-1,97 %)

$SFM (-2,81 %)

$D05 (+0,1 %)

$RR. (-0,37 %)

$SOFI (+1,24 %)

$VUCP (-0,29 %)

$K0MR (+0,24 %)

$JEGP (-0,04 %)

$FLXX (+0,17 %)

From January 2025 I will share monthly updates on my "gamblefolio" here with you.

If you are interested in opening a securities account with Comdirect as part of the birthday campaign, please use the reference link in my bio😉.

I hope you find the article interesting (please leave a like).

Have a nice, relaxed Sunday🆓😎.

Greetings, Marcus

Hello everyone,

I am more than satisfied with the performance of my portfolio this year!

I was in the discovery phase for a long time as far as my strategy is concerned and I have certainly lost some returns due to some back and forth. The back and forth was mainly due to a steady increase in knowledge. I have learned a lot this year, particularly in the area of share valuation (DCF, fair value, trading comps) (and of course some gambling). With this additional knowledge, I also had to rethink some positions that I would certainly not have included in my portfolio today.

I am pretty sure that my approach of buying absolute quality companies at good prices will work out in the future.

That's why I want to focus my portfolio even more in the future!

For new additions to the portfolio I have $SNPS (-1,06 %)
$CDNS (+0,16 %)
$ANSS (+0,54 %)
$CPRT (-1,97 %)
$CTAS (+0,17 %) and $RACE (-0,23 %) at the top of my watch list. If something happens here that drives the valuation down significantly, I would like to buy it.

What are your top quality companies?

Topic: Stock Split

Yesterday there was a 2:1 split at $CPRT (-1,97 %) . The price is now also displayed correctly, only the number of shares in my portfolio was not adjusted. Do I have to adjust this manually (increase number + EK /2), or does this happen automatically over the course of the days?

Side info: transactions were added via PDF. 😊

This has been a long marathon, finally the sub-portfolio is complete - at least for now. It took us a little longer than a year to reach the intended number of 10 different stocks! 😄

-

What do you think about the selection? Would you have replaced one stock with another? 🤔

-

At this point, it is worth mentioning that I have already initiated the sale of UFP Industries. The reason for this is not that I am not convinced by the performance, but the "post-treatment" of the return: the income cleaning extremely reduces the return in that case. Lastly, in a Patreon post, I had explained again in detail what you should pay attention to when selecting stocks related to revenue cleansing (note: it is not only the share of impure revenue that matters) 😁

-

Do you guys have a replacement candidate for UFP? 🤔

Siemens Healthineers ($SHL (-1,01 %)) - Following the acquisition of U.S. cancer specialist Varian, Siemens Healthineers aims to grow significantly profitably in the medium term. The "New Ambitions" are to serve as a benchmark for the next three years starting in the next fiscal year 2022/23. For example, sales are to be increased by 6 to 8 percent annually, as well as 12 to 15 percent more adjusted earnings per share in each case. Previously, the forecast was somewhat lower, but with Varian, the radiation therapy provider acquired in the meantime, the targets are now more ambitious. For 2024/25, Varian is targeting an adjusted EBIT margin of over 20 percent.

Auto1Group ($AG1 (+3,11 %)) - The parent company of Autohero and wirkaufendeinauto.de Auto1Group has again raised its sales target this year. In the current year, sales are expected to increase to 4.5 to 4.6 billion euros. In 2020, sales were still at 2.8 billion euros. The hard-hit stock of the online used car retailer was driven by strong quarterly figures and the annual sales forecast, which was raised again. After the IPO in February, the stock had fallen sharply from its record high of just under 57 euros to almost 28 euros. The Japanese technology investor Softbank ($SFT (-3,53 %)) is currently the largest shareholder with 18 percent of the shares.
