Sector
Industrials
Making, moving, and maintaining the physical economy.
What we look for
- Pricing power that is not just a commodity quote.
- Maintenance capital we can see, not a footnote.
- Customers who would notice if the firm disappeared.
Questions we ask
- 01What breaks in a down-volume year?
- 02Who really sets the price?
- 03Is the advantage a franchise, or a plant that needs rebuilding?
How we might structure it
Control or a significant minority. Asset-backed credit where the contract, not the cycle, is what pays.
We would rather decline
Volume stories with no price, and a capital-expenditure bill left out of the model.
