Traditionally, value investors are perceived as focusing on companies that trade at low price-to-earnings (PE) and price-to-book (PB) multiples. At Sionna, we believe these traditional methods are best married with extensive fundamental analysis and a healthy dose of skepticism since multiples can be misleading in some cases.
As value investors, we often have to make the challenging decision to buy and hold a business that is out-of-favour. When faced with the opportunity to buy shares in an unloved company, the easiest option can be to avoid it altogether – along with the criticism, stress and fear that can come with deploying capital into the investment.
