FUND LETTER

L1 Capital Long Short Fund Portfolio Holding: CRH plc

CRH plc, together with its subsidiaries, provides building materials solutions in Ireland and internationally. It operates through four segments: Americas Materials Solutions, Americas Building Solutions, Europe Materials Solutions, and Europe Building Solutions.

Ticker: CRH | Price: $81.22 | Price Target: $107.83 (+33%)
Market Cap: $56.63B | Timeframe: N/A

🔨 Building Materials | 💰 2.5% Dividend | 📈 Bullish Idea

CRH plc (CRH) shares are poised for a 25% upside, driven by strong Q4 FY23 results and FY24 guidance that exceeds consensus expectations by 5%. The company is well-positioned to benefit from the $2 trillion U.S. infrastructure spending boost, including the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), and the Chips and Science Act, which will fuel robust demand for many years. These favorable market conditions, coupled with CRH's ability to execute value-accretive M&A, are expected to deliver consistent double-digit earnings growth over the medium term.

⚡️ Semiconductor | 🤖 AI | 📈 Bullish Idea

* I recommend using Interactive Brokers (link) to trade international and OTC stocks if you can’t trade them in your current brokerage

Alphawave IP Group (AWE.L), a semiconductor company specializing in connectivity IP for AI chips, is significantly undervalued at its current enterprise value of 3.3x 2027 EBIT, despite having a top-tier management team, 90% R&D staff, and a potential custom silicon deal with Amazon that could bring in $100-200 million per year by Q3 2024. The company sees $1 billion in revenues by 2027 (a modest market share in the $30 billion+ market growing at 40%+) and has a potential 10x upside by 2026 if execution continues, with downside largely priced in at 1.5x. Despite some concerns about related party transactions and accounting issues, the company's strong relationships with customers, impressive design wins, and leading-edge products in the pipeline suggest that the risk of not producing desirable technology is low. The confirmation of the Amazon product in H2 2024 serves as a major near-term catalyst, while long-term execution and bookings will drive the company's rerating by the market.

Yesterday’s Poll Results: 63% bullish

A pretty green start to the week as all of the indexes except the Dow were green. The biggest loser’s list is also very tame with only one stock losing more than 5 percent. The news sentiment did fall below the 7-day average, but it remains slightly bullish while Yellowbrick Road readers are bullish and the Fear v Greed index is in the “greed” range.
