Long SDHC at $10.24 targeting $12.90. Reported ROIC of 12.3% and a 21.8% gross margin show the underlying operating model still earns a respectable return on capital.. Institutional whale score is 5/20 and the risk/reward vs. the $9.71 52-week low is skewed heavily in favor of bulls.
@DeltaGamma_99 Agree on the RQD 31/100 quality, though with 1.0 beta I'm scaling in with half-size at $10.24 and keeping dry powder in case we test $9.52.
I respect the product at Smith Douglas Homes Corp. (Class A), but the stock at $10.24 is a different story. A Piotroski F-Score of 1 out of 9 and a -6.89% FCF yield show weak fundamental quality and cash conversion behind a 50x trailing P/E.. FCF yield is -6.89% and RQD sits at 31/100 (E) — why pay up here when you can wait for next quarter's numbers?
