Digest Analysis

Quick Take

"Key holdings include Reysas GYO real estate, Intellego's UV-C healthcare technology trading at 5x earnings, and Dream International's Disney-partnered toy manufacturing."

Executive Summary

Bilbel Capital delivered exceptional returns of 73.18% in the first half of 2024, maintaining their concentrated approach of owning quality companies at low valuations. The portfolio is dominated by Reysas GYO (59.5%) and Intellego Technologies (25%), with smaller positions in Dream International, Tianjin Development Holdings, and Reysas Logistics. The manager switched from Reysas Logistics to Reysas GYO based on superior valuation upside, expecting the latter to reach $2B market cap within five years. Intellego Technologies represents a compelling healthcare technology play in UV-C disinfection validation, trading at just 5x earnings despite strong growth and patent protection through 2042. Dream International benefits from long-term relationships with Disney and other large customers, providing economies of scale in toy manufacturing. Tianjin Development Holdings offers exposure to Otis China's elevator maintenance business at a significant discount to intrinsic value. The manager emphasizes making fast, accurate judgments when risk, skill, and opportunity align, sometimes with incomplete information but strong understanding of probabilities.
