Five Below

🧵 3

Of course, there is also a large network of non-food discount stores in the USA. With Dollar Tree ($DLTR (+1,5%)), Dollar General ($DG (+0,74%)) and Five Below ($FIVE (-0,45%)), there are at least three listed companies. I have also included the off-price retailer TJX Companies, better known here as TK Maxx, on the list.

In FY2023, the leading non-food discounters Dollar Tree, Dollar General, Five Below and TJX Companies posted respectable sales and solid EBITDA performance, indicating robust demand and their efficiency strategies.

Dollar Tree generated sales of USD 30.6 billion and EBITDA of USD 3.004 billion. The discount giant was able to increase its performance through a broad product range and a successful store network.

Dollar General achieved the highest sales in this group with USD 37.8 billion and an EBITDA of USD 4 billion. The company benefited from its extensive presence and a strong price-performance strategy that appeals to price-conscious customers.

Five Below achieved sales of USD 3.1 billion and EBITDA of USD 516 million. Focusing on young customer groups and inexpensive trend articles, the company recorded further growth, albeit at a lower sales level than its established competitors.

TJX Companies, the parent company of TK Maxx, reported sales of USD 49.9 billion and the highest EBITDA in the Group at USD 6.1 billion. With off-price offers and an established brand, TJX was able to further expand its leading position in the market for affordable fashion and household goods.

You can invest directly in all companies. It is interesting to note that the asset managers Black Rock and Vanguard are invested in all US companies, in some cases with considerable stakes.

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? 🤔

Current tenbagger portfolio:

$FIVE (-0,45%)
$NVDA (+0,13%)
$WCH (-1,36%)
$CPRT (+2,76%)
$TRI (+0,09%)
$BOOT (+0,77%)
$UFPI (+0,12%)
$WSM (+0,08%)
$BILL (+2,02%)
$AMN (+0%)

In the diagram you can see which amount is currently invested in the Public Depot according to which strategy:

• According to the "Dogs of the Dow Islamic" I had invested in the second half of last year. There are currently no new investments here. With a total return of 13.5%, the sub-portfolio is performing best. The high flyer here is $CVX (+0,34%) with +100%! 🚀🤩
• "Nasdaq-25 Islamic" is sort of a self-created ETS - using savings plans to save on 25 stocks from the Nasdaq. The whole thing is now running since the beginning of the year, and completely without intervention - passive! Due to the current difficult phase, which puts more pressure on the tech industry, the sub-portfolio is in the red: To put it in exact figures, just under -6%. But no problem: The whole thing is to run long-term and we are at the beginning. I feel partly also better, since one can take so again favorable courses.
• The third sub-portfolio runs according to the "Lynch tenbagger strategy". Here I deliberately take a somewhat higher risk. All in all, I have invested in 5 companies so far. The first investment I had left entirely to the community (Instagram polls). In the end $NVDA (+0,13%) was bought, even if it actually does not meet the criteria according to Lynch at all. Four values in this sub-portfolio have developed positively, one negatively - you may guess once which is the "black sheep". Yes, right: The selection of the community Nvidia with -35%. All other 4 companies are up, right in the front with $FIVE (-0,45%) with +12%. Overall, the sub-portfolio is $NVDA (+0,13%) 1.5% in the minus! (You are to blame! 😝😂)

All in all, the Public Depot is on a good track. Taking into account the current situation and the still short duration of the portfolio (just 13-14 months), it is in a good position. Still positive, yet good prices to take.

Keep it up! 😁
