Kinsman Oak Capital Partners, in their Q4 2020 Investor Letter, said that they have a controversial view on Facebook, Inc. (NASDAQ: FB) because they view it as a ‘not so expensive’ company. Facebook, Inc. is a social network site that currently has a $774.1 billion market cap. For the past 3 months, FB delivered a -1.17% return and settled at $271.87 per share at the closing of February 10th.
Here is what Kinsman Oak Capital Partners has to say about Facebook, Inc. in their Q4 2020 investor letter:
“Our view on Facebook (FB) may be somewhat controversial. The bear case for FB boils down to antitrust risk and valuation. Facebook, although to a lesser degree, is a relative value bargain as well. We believe the company possesses an element of platform risk that Alphabet does not but, compared to the rest of the market, the stock still seems undervalued. We compared Facebook to the Russell 2000, an index full of cyclical businesses that are considered no-brainers at the beginning of a recovery and popular re-opening stocks that are poised to go higher after the vaccine is distributed (Appendix E). Facebook is significantly cheaper, growing faster, has a larger economic moat, superior margin profile, and requires less capex.
In short, we believe the obfuscated earnings power makes Facebook appear more expensive than it really is.”
