My Thoughts 💭My Thoughts 💭

If you live in America you seen a CSX rail boxcar in your life. Never knew they are a publicly traded company.

I understand why Ansel added this company to his portfolio they are major players in the shipping and rail business. Let’s take a look at the fundamentals!

At 55.4k sats per share ($70,905), and a 733 sat per share yearly dividend. It would take 75 years to break even.

The company trades at a PE 25 which means investors are paying $25 access $1 of earnings. A bit on the expensive side. Investors must be confident in their business model.

Let’s review some key fundamentals to determine if this stock is worth spending sats on.

The fundamentals of this company are terrible. The balance sheet is awful, the growth prospects are bad at this elevated valuation (projected grow slower than bitcoin), the pay dividends when they have a MASSIVE debt load.

The only positives are the profit margin and the free cash flow.

From a Bitcoiner perspective. Paying 55k sats for one share wouldn’t be the worse thing but I wouldn’t recommend it.

The fundamentals of this company are terrible and at an elevated valuation. Only railroad enthusiasts will give up sats to fund this overly indebted weak growth projection company

Here is the performance according to Simply Wall Street

I think Ansel must of went off name recognition over fundamentals to add this company to his portfolio.

Even with the re industrialization boom do you trust this leadership to capitalize? I don’t think so hard pass on this one!
