My Notes

• value/special situations - The extreme valuation (0.1x P/S, 0.6x P/B) and recent positive momentum (+22.1% 3-month return despite -32.9%…
• High sensitivity through multiple channels: (1) Elevated mortgage rates suppress housing turnover and new home purchases…
• Watch on earnings: European consumer confidence indices (Italy, Germany, UK) as leading indicators for furniture demand, US and European housing starts and existing home sales (6-12 month leading indicator), Leather commodity prices and EUR/USD exchange rate (input cost and translation exposure).
