Peter Lynch is known as one of the world's best investors, having achieved an average annual return of 29.2% while managing the Fidelity Magellan fund for a period of 13 years. And during his tenure, Fidelity Magellan became the world's best-performing investment fund, consistently outperforming the S&P 500 by more than double.
In recent months, I 've been reading "One Up On Wall Street" by Peter Lynch, which is arguably one of the best books ever written on investing. In his book, Peter Lynch describes the perfect stock, detailing the 13 most favorable attributes to look for, helping any investor find what he calls a "multibagger" stock.
Surprisingly, these features are not what you might think, and some are quite funny, but Lynch has very good reasons behind them all. So , stay until the end of the video. Anyway, if you enjoy the content, be sure to hit the "like" button to help my channel, as it really helps a lot. I really appreciate it, guys.
And if you haven't already, definitely consider subscribing below for more investment content coming soon. But with that said , let's get into Peter Lynch's 13 ingredients for perfect action . Starting with attribute number one: it sounds boring or, better yet, ridiculous. In his book, Peter Lynch mentions how he loves investing in simple businesses that he can understand, like Dunkin' Donuts.
Whenever someone said that any idiot could run that business, for Peter Lynch it was an advantage. Therefore, he says that the perfect stock has to be connected to a simple business and that that simple business should have a perfectly boring name. Two examples of companies he gives are Automatic Data Processing, or ADP, and Bob Evans Farms; What could be more boring than a stock called Bob Evans?
In addition, one of the most promising names he's heard in a company was Pep Boys, Manny, Moe & Jack. That's because the name is absolutely ridiculous. Who would want to put their money into a stock that sounds like The Three Stooges? Peter Lynch says, "If you spot an opportunity early enough, you'll probably get a few dollars off the stock price just because of the boring or weird name." In other words, the less attention a stock attracts because of its name, the more opportunity you'll have to buy those shares at a discount before they take off.
Now, moving on to attribute number two: it does something boring. Again, Peter Lynch is n't looking for a company that's manufacturing futuristic electric vehicles or e-commerce websites . He's looking for a simple business. One example he shares is the stock called Crown Cork and Seal, which manufactures cans and bottle caps.
I mean, what could be a more boring business than making bottle caps? Another example is Agency Rent a Car, which actually rose from $4 to $16 per share during his tenure. Boring businesses tend to have less competition than those in exciting industries, giving them sustainable competitive advantages.
A company with a boring name and business model is fantastic in Peter Lynch's eyes, because you'll have much more time to buy those discounted shares before trend followers rush in and the stock price explodes. Third, he does something unpleasant. Peter Lynch argues that better than just being boring is an action that is both boring and disgusting at the same time.
He says that, ideally, the company should do something that makes people shrug, gag, or even look away in disgust. And he gives the example of a company called Safety Clean with a K. This company provided gas stations and body shops with a machine that cleaned greasy car parts. And then they also removed the grease and sludge from those machines periodically.
The company then expanded into restaurant grease traps and other types of waste, allowing them to increase their profits every quarter for years, and the stock price followed suit. As another more relevant example, consider the tobacco industry over the past 25 years. Altria, which manufactures cigarettes, has performed incredibly well despite its negative reputation and harmful effects on society.
In general, money doesn't care if the business is unsavory. If profits increase, the stock price will follow. Moving on to attribute number four, it is a spin-off. As I discussed in my last video, a spin-off is essentially the opposite of a merger, being the division of parts of companies into independent entities with their own shares.
Peter Lynch says that spin-offs like Safety Clean or Toys R Us often result in incredibly lucrative investments and are a fertile ground for amateur investors. He says: "Spin-offs happen because management believes its business is undervalued by the market and considers, with good reason, that splitting the business into a simpler structure will force investors to revalue the spin-off and parent companies more in line with comparable companies." Large companies do not want to spin off their divisions and then see them in financial trouble, because that would have repercussions for the parent companies.
Therefore, spin-offs typically have strong balance sheets and are very well positioned to succeed on their own as independent companies. It's always a good idea to research a derivative company to understand its fundamentals, its growth prospects, and whether management is investing in it. Attribute number five: institutions do not possess it and analysts do not follow it.
Peter Lynch says: "A stock is a potential winner if it has little or no institutional ownership, and it's a double winner if no analyst covers it." "You can often find this in banks and insurance companies, as there are thousands listed on all the stock exchanges." He is also very enthusiastic about once-popular stocks that analysts have decided to abandon, as they attract far less attention than the ones they normally cover.
For example, one stock I've talked about a lot on my channel and in which I have a large investment is Trulieve Cannabis. This company has no institutional ownership, as cannabis remains illegal at the federal level in the U.S. and the funds simply cannot invest in these companies. But Trulieve's fundamentals and its prospects for future growth are incredibly good.
So, once cannabis is decriminalized at the federal level, institutions will pour money into Trulieve along with many other cannabis stocks in the US, and this will undoubtedly increase its stock price. Moving on to attribute number six: rumors abound. She is involved with toxic waste or with the mafia.
Lynch believes it is difficult to find a more perfect industry than waste management. The business not only involves something unpleasant, fulfilling attribute number three, but the mafia has long been linked to the waste management industry . These two factors were major advantages for early buyers of waste management shares , which, as always, were undervalued compared to the actual opportunity.
Now, the same can be said of the hotel and casino businesses. Everyone feared these actions, as they were associated with the mafia in the early days. But today, everyone would love to own shares like Wynn Resorts, which is deeply involved in the casino and hotel businesses. Once the company's profits skyrocket, the news about the mafia becomes noise and simply fades into the background.
Very well, now for attribute number seven. There's something depressing about it. Obviously, finding an industry related to death in any way would fit very well into this category. Peter Lynch says that if there's anything Wall Street prefers to ignore more than toxic waste, it's mortality . That's why one of their all-time favorite picks is Service Corporation International, which does funerals and also has a boring name.
This company pioneered the pre-need policy, which allows someone to prepay for their funeral service and coffin immediately while they can still afford it, so that their family does not have to cover the cost. They also allowed you to lock in current prices, even if they cost three times as much in the future.
Again, this is a company that had a solid track record of earnings growth while trading at a much lower valuation than a high-growth technology company at the time. As we see today, SEI remains a public company and is trading at all- time highs, having risen more than 1,800% since 1988 and 160% in the last 5 years, with a compound annual growth rate of 21%.
In general, choosing a stock in a depressing industry can help keep smart money away for a while, giving you the opportunity to buy shares at a discount before they are recognized as cheap. Attribute number eight, it is in a non-growth industry. Most people prefer to invest in a high-growth industry, as ideally the company could grow with that industry over time.
However, the problem with high-growth industries is that they attract a lot of competition. For example, Peter Lynch points to the carpet industry in the 1950s, electronics in the 1960s, and computers in the 1980s. And some more recent examples would be the electric vehicle industry or the software- as-a-service industry.
To avoid this hyper-competition, Peter Lynch prefers to invest in industries with very low growth, such as plastic knives and forks or the funeral services industry, where there would be very little competition. Graduates from Harvard or Wharton are not going to want to challenge existing companies within a low- growth or boring industry like funeral services.
They will all be in the technology sector. Attribute number nine, it has a niche. Peter Lynch also believes it is better to invest in a company with its own niche or exclusive franchise, which can be extremely valuable to the company and its shareholders. Lynch gives the example of a local cinema and then compares it to a stone quarry business.
The cinema will compete with other cinemas in the area, while the quarry is isolated from the competition due to the unpopularity of quarries, as well as the high cost of transporting stone from another quarry in a different city or area. Therefore, you can raise prices just below the point where the next quarry owner starts thinking about competing with you.
Another great example would be the pharmaceutical industry. Once a drug is approved, patents protect that drug's competitive position. Competitors will have to spend billions of dollars to invent a different drug, prove that it is different, and then spend years in clinical trials before the government will allow them to sell it.
For example, ABV, the $200 billion pharmaceutical company, is well known for its patented drug Humira, which has gained a large market share, preventing the competition from selling within the industry for many, many years. But now, let's move on to attribute number 10. People have to keep buying it.
One of the attributes of the perfect stock is that the products of the underlying company are always in demand, generating recurring revenue. Peter Lynch says he would prefer to invest in a company that makes soft drinks, razor blades, or cigarettes, rather than a company that makes toys. A perfect example would be the razor blade company Gillette, which was acquired by Procter & Gamble in 2005 for $57 billion.
This is why companies like Procter & Gamble or Johnson & Johnson are known as some of the safest companies in the world, because their products are always in demand. Attribute number 11, is a technology user. Instead of buying the company that manufactures scanners, buy the supermarket chain that can use the scanners to save costs.
With new technologies comes an endless price war. Therefore, development companies could end up reducing their profitability over time. However, this price war will actually benefit companies that use the technology. If a scanner helps a supermarket company reduce costs by just 3%, that alone could double the company's profits.
As another example, today we could think of a company that uses software like AWS, such as Amazon Web Services or Microsoft Azure Cloud Computing. And these could substantially increase profitability and reduce overall business costs, or even the software provided by Palantir, which is supposed to reduce costs and improve efficiency in companies in incredible ways .
Very well, now we move on to attribute number 12, the initiates are buying. Peter Lynch argues that there is no better indication of the likely success of a stock than the fact that people within that company invest their own money in it. In general, corporate insiders are net sellers, as they typically sell 2.3 shares for every share they buy.
However, there are many reasons why an insider might be selling shares. For example, they might be buying a new house, going on vacation, paying for a child's tuition , etc. However, there is only one reason why insiders would buy shares of your company: because they feel it is undervalued and that the share price will rise over time.
A high level of ownership by insiders is also a vote of confidence for shareholders, as insiders are aligned with their goals as shareholders to try to make money. In general, insider buying and high internal ownership are two very good signs for a stock. And last but not least, the thirteenth attribute is that the company is buying back shares.
Peter Lynch says: "Share buybacks are the simplest and most effective way a company can reward its shareholders." Just as you or I might choose to invest in a company with good prospects, why shouldn't a company reinvest in itself? "When a company buys back shares, they are withdrawn from circulation, reducing the number of shares outstanding.
This has a positive effect on earnings per share, or EPS, because even if the company maintains the same level of profitability as the previous year , reducing its number of shares will increase EPS. And as I'm sure we all know, stock prices follow EPS over time. So, if the company maintains the same level of profitability and those shares are reduced over time, the stock price will rise along with those EPS.
For example, Apple has been aggressively buying back its shares since 2013 and has since reduced its number of shares by more than 36%. As a consequence, its EPS has also been steadily increasing during this same period. In short, to summarize Peter Lynch's 13 attributes for the perfect stock, you need to find a company with a boring or ridiculous name that does something boring or unpleasant.
The company is a spin-off from a larger parent company . Institutions don't own the stock, and analysts don't follow it. Rumors are common or the The company is involved with the mafia or toxic waste. There's something depressing about the company. It's in a stagnant or slow-growth industry with its own niche.
People have to keep buying the company's products . The company is a user of technology, but not necessarily a producer. People with inside information about the company are buying or have a large stake. And finally, management is buying back shares of the company. So, well, that's it for this video.
