Possible Reversal of Failed Takeover of Porsche Stock
After Porsche’s failed bid to acquire Volkswagen in 2009, Volkswagen purchased the luxury brand. Through their holding firm Porsche SE, the Porsche-Piech family rose to prominence as one of Volkswagen’s most significant investors at the time. The family also owns 53% of the voting rights and 31.4% of the stock in Volkswagen.
However, the sale would enable Porsche to regain its former splendor. People with knowledge of the situation as late as December claimed that Porsche SE might think about selling some of its 53% interest in Volkswagen. As a result, Porsche SE will be able to purchase Porsche AG shares.
Volkswagen intends to issue Porsche AG common and preferred stock shares if the IPO happens. Ordinary shares, to be clear, have voting privileges. In a Porsche AG listing, Porsche SE can also purchase them. As a result, Porsche was able to reclaim the authority it had prior to the change in ownership.
What is the value of a Porsche?
- Porsche’s share price and valuation have been surprisingly consistent overall, with a few exceptions. Without the COVID-19 epidemic, I think the aforementioned pattern would be quite constant.
- There is no denying that the stock is currently valued extremely highly from a 10-year share price standpoint.
- Although 2021 results are anticipated to be better, we must carefully evaluate the current price in terms of valuation.
The current P/E of 11.51 to 2020 earnings is therefore quite high given the S&P worldwide outlook for GAAP EPS of approximately a!12.2/share and the business selling at a mean 5.4X P/E in terms of NTM price/Normalized earnings.
The truth is that Porsche has consistently traded at this price, but every time it has, the stock has quickly plunged again to trade closer to 4-5X P/E. Is it just? This can be contested given what Porsche stands for, but the market tells us as much.
Additionally, it appears that the corporation itself is unsure about the best course of action. According to the guidance, the probable valuation range might be as wide as 11–12X 2021E P/E or as narrow as 8X 2021 P/E. (which by the way would still edge somewhat on the high side).
The following current valuation objectives are provided for Porsche by the analysts who are tracking the firm because they have bought wholeheartedly into the higher end of this target range.
Targets from businesses like Daimler (OTCPK:DDAIF) show similar characteristics, and there is currently a large difference between low and high targets. Although most analysts do expect the firm to outperform based on these targets, anyone looking at the historical data should be able to see the erratic nature of these analyst PTs.
If you purchase it at a peak, it won’t be a “safe” investment in a short amount of time.
I’m aware that some people think this company could be bought. I might overlook this position if I were buying to keep for 50 years, but for someone looking for a realistic upside in the near and medium term, I see this as carrying too much risk and offering too little in the way of conservative gain.
- Although less than peers, the company has historically experienced volatility because it is an automotive industry.
- the company’s extensive exposure to Volkswagen and its problems.
- the extremely poor dividend growth history of the corporation.
- The historical valuation of the corporation in comparison to its current worth, which demonstrates the company’s “peak” valuation.
- Although understandable, the company’s own uncertainty with regard to guidance and estimations deters from having faith in this investment.
- The history of analysts revising this company’s targets up and down.
- a return to pre-COVID-19 numbers would be the only significant, fundamental stimulus for a significant improvement, but the market is already pricing the company as though it had attained such levels.
I therefore consider an investment in Porsche SE to be problematic in this case. Based on the lower end of the predicted valuation, which places my price objective at approximately $1.65/share or below, I would be interested in purchasing this company at a valuation that closely resembles a fair value or bottom.
Creating value with Porsche AG’s IPO
It is logical to assume that the decision-makers at Volkswagen, primarily the Porsche-PiAch family, are likewise aware that the holdings’ current worth is inadequate. This can be compared to Toyota or to what the Agnellis have accomplished with Fiat. By dividing the business into numerous parts, they were able to unlock a lot of value. Similar to what the Agnellis did with CNH (CNHI) and Iveco, Volkswagen already sold a section of its trucking subsidiary, Traton (OTCPK:TRATF), on the stock market (OTCPK:IVCGF). Despite the price reduction, Volkswagen didn’t exactly consider this a success.
Additionally, the Agnellis listed Ferrari (RACE) separately, which was undoubtedly a wise decision. The legendary automotive firm currently trades at more than 40 times earnings and has a market worth of more than $35 billion since that IPO in 2015. The share price has virtually doubled since then.
Porsche AG makes a lot more cars annually while having lower profit margins and possibly not being as elusive as Ferrari. And money followed. They intend to replicate this success by listing Porsche AG in order to raise the share prices of Volkswagen and subsequently Porsche SE.
What will the IPO look like now?
The rest of this schematic is the same as it was before Porsche SE expanded its ownership in Volkswagen AG from 31.4% to 31.9%.
As a result, voting ordinary shares and non-voting preference shares are created from Porsche AG’s shares. Porsche SE will purchase 1 share plus 12.5% of the common stock. Porsche SE will pay a 7.5% premium over the IPO price for this.
At the IPO, Volkswagen will sell 12.5% of the non-voting preference shares, with the other shares remaining in its possession. According to Volkswagen, a special dividend of 49% of the proceeds will be distributed. Thus, a sizable portion of that also finances Porsche SE’s stake.
As a Porsche SE shareholder, your total economic ownership in Porsche AG following the transaction would be 36.425%, up from 31.9% before to the IPO. Porsche AG’s worth for Porsche SE alone would be about $31 billion if the IPO occurs at a $85 billion valuation. Again, this does not sound so bad given Porsche SE’s current valuation of $22 billion.
Major Points
Volkswagen is utilizing the proceeds from the initial public offering to support the electrification of its line-up.
The Porsche founding family, whose own holding company holds a majority share in VW, regains some control over the firm through the IPO.
Investors ought to monitor developments. Investors have a strong preference for stocks of sports cars, but no extra control has been given to outside investors.
Can Porsche maintain its value?
Porsche vehicles retain their value. Compared to other brands, many Porsche models are renowned for maintaining their value well. All automobiles eventually lose value, although Porsches do so generally more slowly. If you purchase a used Porsche vehicle, it won’t have depreciated as much as a comparable non-Porsche vehicle from the same year.
Who buys a 911 Porsche?
The car industry undergoes what seems like limitless amounts of research every year, much like any other retail business. Some of that research focused on the Porsche brand, and market data was compiled to determine the typical age of Porsche buyers and owners. The answer varies based on the model rather than being a single, obvious number. Customers of the popular Porsche 911 model are typically between the ages of 46 and 65, with 52 being the average age. Contrarily, people who are 47 years old or between the ages of 36 and 55 are more likely to purchase a Porsche Boxster.
Which Porsche models retain their worth the best?
The Porsche Taycan was an excellent first EV from one of the world’s most popular sports car companies, and it is debatably the most coveted completely electric model now on the market. These strong residuals indicate that the Cross Turismo estate is even more sought-after than the basic version, which is undoubtedly in high demand.
It’s hardly surprising that purchasers have taken a liking to the shooting brake bodystyle despite the Taycan’s boot capacity only increasing by 405 liters (1,171 liters with the seats folded down). Even an Off-Road pack in the shape of a safari can be added to increase the ground clearance by 30 mm and add some durable body armor.
