Nireus Stock Skyrocketed, Galaxidi waiting!

By Dimitrios Koutsoubos

Aquaculture is a special sector for the greek stock market. It is one of the few remaining productive and extroverted sectors, but having a lot of troubles and aggressive characteristics, as reflected in stock valuation and volatility. 2015 was critical due to the recapitalization of those companies’ debt coinciding with price recovery of their product.

Now, undervalued and extorverted are only found in Small Caps. It is very interesting that Thrace Plastics (PLAT), which is somewhat larger -especially for the greek stock market standards-, has ratios that show undervaluation.

Why Value Investing in Greece?

By Dimitrios Koutsoubos

It is a fact that greek investors are less mature compared to global investors. Τhat is reflected to the Greek Stock Market, as expected. In Greece, irrational behavior and valuations are more often and more intensely experienced, as a result of loose connection between stock prices and fundamentals. A wrong conclusion after the above, is that value investing makes no sense in Greece. I will attempt not only to break this impression, but also try to reveal the truth, which is total different than the obvious.
