The planned PH sale - well-founded decision or misinterpretation based on half-knowledge?

$PH (-2.74%) +13%

I took a closer look at Parker Hannifin shares over the last few hours and found almost no good reasons to sell. Except of course for the ubiquitous overvaluation of US stocks...

I started with this share because it is the smallest position in my portfolio and therefore doesn't make sense simply because of its size.


In the chart, my smallest stock positions in ascending order of position size:

Now I have found out the following:

The stock is currently trading at around $723.

As of Q1, Parker has $9,370 million in debt and about $408 million in cash and cash equivalents.

If you now subtract the have from the should and divide it by the number of shares, around 128.44 million, I arrive at a net debt per share of around $69.8.

Worse than in the previous year.

In combination with the high valuation, I think I should take my approx. 13% quick book profit and reallocate.

This is correct in itself, but you should rather look at short-term liabilities and long-term liabilities and analyze what liquidity is available for this and how the debts have changed dynamically over the years and what the management says about this in the earning calls and how the corresponding things were then implemented.

PH is a very stable company, but it has also grown very strongly in recent years. I would rather ask myself whether they can maintain this sales and profit growth over the next few years.

Basically, however, the trend remains your friend, so as long as the share is going well upwards, I would simply hold the share and hedge it with a stop loss on the downside. Especially since you don't have to worry about opportunity costs here, as PH has outperformed the S&P in recent years.

As far as I have seen, debt is being reduced very nicely.
And in 2027, the free cash flow is even higher than the liabilities.

Perhaps debt/EBITDA would also be a complementary angle ... depending on the perspective.
