RE: What I Am Buying Today. - crimsonghost747 - 04-19-2025
Righty, so as promised a little recap since I've been gone for a while. I haven't done much shopping in the past 6 months to be honest, it's been mostly about consolidating/simplifying my portfolio a bit by building up cash and selling some companies that were either overvalued or ones that I simply didn't think fit my investment thesis anymore.
The little shopping that I have done in the past months has been:
-small purchases here and there in the following: MSFT/BAM/LMT. All of these will be absolutely awesome for the long-term, and I feel like BAM is even nicely valued here both from a share price and dividend perspective. (3.6% yield and I'm expecting around 15% yearly increases if we don't hit a recession)
-speculative position in ASPI. Very risky, but production does seem to be ramping up nicely and revenue should start to flow in a meaningful way during 2025. This is one of those that will either be a great long-term success story or go to zero in the next 3 years.

add more OSCR
RE: What I Am Buying Today. - Dividend Watcher - 07-09-2025
Ray, what's the story with OSCR? I noticed a very high P/E and no dividend. I didn't dig into their financials so don't know much. High growth? Possible acquisition target?
Curious minds want to know.

@DW
Oscar Health ($OSCR):
OSCR is a prime example of a high-growth, early-stage company that combines enormous potential with high volatility.
Those who can tolerate strong price fluctuations will find a rare combination of technological innovation, a solid balance sheet profile, and attractive undervaluation.
Technological advantage:
Oscar Health is revolutionizing health insurance through AI integration, digital automation, and data-driven risk selection. The company relies on a user-friendly platform, telemedicine, and real-time services, which significantly increase efficiency and customer satisfaction.
Dynamic growth:
Analysts expect earnings growth of around 53% per year and revenue growth of 8% annually. Return on equity is expected to rise to nearly 18% in three years – values that are rare in the insurance industry.
Profitability and Balance Sheet:
Oscar Health is profitable, boasting a solid gross margin of over 20% and a low leverage ratio (22%). Interest coverage is comfortable, and with nearly $3 billion in cash, financial flexibility is high.
Undervaluation:
The intrinsic value of the share is estimated at just under $29 – corresponding to an undervaluation of around 45% compared to the current price. Discounted cash flow models and relative valuations also show significant upside potential.
Experienced Management:
Mark Bertolini (formerly of Aetna) is an experienced CEO at the helm who is consistently driving the transformation process forward.
Innovation Pipeline:
Expansion into new markets, product innovations, and a focus on ICHRA models and digital platforms strengthen long-term competitiveness.
Risks and Volatility:
The stock is extremely volatile – price fluctuations of 20–30% within a few weeks are possible.
There have been significant insider selling recently, signaling uncertainty.
Regulatory risks and intense competition in the ACA market remain challenges.

I usually don't invest in small(er) companies but I made an exception with this one. It's been trading in a range, so it's possible to build a solid position and harvest gains along the way. I plan to get to an "x" amount of shares and trim accordingly but will maintain a certain balance of shares. I invest for the Long term.
