Consumer Cyclical

The company pays dividends on rare occasions. There have only been a few years with dividend payments in the past ten years. Dividend per share (DPS) has grown yearly, and there is a clear trend. In the past 12 months, the dividend yield has barely been above zero and was substantially below that of its peers. 

Over the last six months, the stock performance has varied, with an increase following a drop. When measured against its worldwide peers from the same industry (as shown above), the stock has been weaker, underperforming by 65ppts. This is equally valid for peers from the same country and industry. Given the stock's valuation versus its peers, its total price movement is neither favourable nor unfavourable.

The ratio of return on invested capital (RoIC) to the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) has been 2.9 in the past several years. This ratio implies a strong shareholder value creation. 

The institutional, legal, and compliance risks associated with the company's country are minimal. In combination with stringent business standards, shareholder rights are very highly protected.

DDC has very poor trading liquidity. The average private investor can sell his common position in the stock in a single trading day under normal market conditions. Liquidity is very unstable and remains favourable on the days with the lowest activity. However, please consider that under highly turbulent market conditions, the trading volume tends to decrease significantly. Another factor to consider is the substantial number of days with zero trading volumes, i.e., without any ability to sell a position. The stock has a tiny market capitalisation, which usually makes its trading liquidity erratic and unpredictable. 

No other major risks have been identified.

The risk of default is high. Among the negative credit factors, we point to weak positions in its industry, slow historical revenue growth, bleak profitability, negligible return on capital, poor working capital management, inadequate interest coverage, and poor cash flow generation. We note low margin volatility, among the positive credit factors. 

In highly turbulent market conditions, DDC is exceptionally volatile. In other words, the stock will be among the worst-performers in times of extreme market volatility or shocking company news. Standalone, the worst-day losses (less than 1% of the time) will likely be critical. 

In normal market circumstances, DDC is exceptionally volatile. Put differently, without outstanding market volatility or shocking company news, the stock's price will change quite unpredictably. The stock's losses on its worst days (less than 1-5% of the time) will range from critical to immense. 

Based on key historical and expected multiples, the stock is undervalued relative to its peers.
