Cliff Remily on Ignore the Noise — Focus on Priorities
A global generalist.
Cliff Remily’s Long Idea – Subsea 7
A basic value idea in the energy industry. Subsea 7 SA (ADR) (OTCMKTS:SUBCY) (STO:SUBCO) is an engineering and construction (E&C) company serving offshore oil and gas producers. Trades at 8x P/E and 4.5x EV/EBITDA.
Though cyclical the industry is attractive and the valuation is very compelling today.The bear case centers on E&P capex spending. Barriers to entry are high and long-term contracts and relationships help protect revenue. This is a decent business in a decent industry.
Insiders own a good portion of the company.
Some headwinds include a potential tax being added to non-locally owned operators in Brazil. Downside of roughly 20% and upside of nearly 90% offers a 3:1 risk reward ratio.
