Let's uncover some gems from our specialized screener
Barry Callebaut
Overview: Barry Callebaut AG operates in the production and sale of chocolate and cocoa products, with a market capitalization of approximately CHF 8.43 billion.
Operations: The company's revenue is primarily derived from its Global Cocoa segment, which generated CHF 5.31 billion.
Estimated Discount To Fair Value: 14.6%
Barry Callebaut, with a current trading price of CHF 1541, is positioned below our estimated fair value of CHF 1804.13, marking it as modestly undervalued. Despite recent earnings showing a significant drop to CHF 77.93 million from last year's CHF 235.49 million, forecasts are optimistic with expected annual revenue and profit growth outpacing the Swiss market at rates of 9% and 25.1% respectively. However, concerns include high volatility in share price and debt not well covered by operating cash flow.

Operations: The company's revenue is diversified across several segments, with Industries & Environment generating CHF 2.19 billion, Natural Resources at CHF 1.58 billion, Connectivity & Products contributing CHF 1.25 billion, Health & Nutrition at CHF 0.86 billion, and Business Assurance bringing in CHF 0.75 billion.
Estimated Discount To Fair Value: 35.4%
SGS, priced at CHF81.04, trades significantly below our fair value estimate of CHF125.41, reflecting a 35.4% undervaluation based on discounted cash flows. Despite a modest revenue growth forecast of 4.7% annually—slightly above the Swiss market's 4.5%—SGS's earnings are expected to outperform with a 9.73% annual increase, surpassing the market's 8.2%. Challenges include shareholder dilution over the past year and high debt levels which could impact financial flexibility.
