The keys to understanding the evolution of Naturhouse on the stock market

<>
Naturhouse is undoubtedly one of the little jewels that Spanish equities offer. Well it's true that is not a value that is embedded in the selective index, el Ibex 35, pero su atractivo ha llevado a un gran número de pequeños y medianos inversores. Con el incentivo adicional del elevado dividendo que distribuye entre sus accionistas. Sea cual sea el caso, sus acciones son seguidas por innumerables inversores que están en condiciones de abrir posiciones en esta iniciativa bursátil de especial importancia.

Within this general scenario, Naturhouse presents itself with very defined characteristics that must be taken into account when taking positions in its shareholding. They are very particular and in any case determine the course of your actions in the equity markets. Without ruling out that in the short term it can be included in the benchmark index of the Spanish Stock Market. Not surprisingly, its profitability is one of the most outstanding within the group of small and medium companies. With a very rigid and personalistic direction that gave the company its own identity.

It is a company specialized in sale of diet products y nuevos hábitos alimenticios. Hasta el punto de liderar esta línea de negocio en España y que además se está expandiendo a otros mercados de gran relevance. Como a modo de ejemplo, el francés que podrá influir a partir de ahora en sus resultados trimestrales. No obstante, no ofrece una liquidez total para los inversores que deseen ingresar y salir de sus posiciones. Aún cuando con una estabilidad muy notable en la cotización de sus precios.

Naturhouse: quarterly results

To assess whether it is worth entering their positions, nothing better than to look at the accounts that the company generates on a quarterly basis. To this end, the results of the last quarter (until the end of the second quarter of this year) indicate that the business is on a good path, but with a series of observations that you should take into account from now on. Not surprisingly, it is data that a significant number of financial analysts follow to establish whether it is a receptive value for purchases from now on.

It closed the first half of the year with total profit of 13.4 million euros, lo que representa un valor 3,4% inferior al mismo período del año anterior. No obstante, uno de los datos más relevantes es el que representa su notable crecimiento en el mercado francés como resultado de su strategy de expansión fuera de nuestras fronteras. Como aspecto negativo, destaca el efecto negativo de la Semana Santa y que ha causado un cierto frenazo en su facturación.

In any of the cases, the gross operating profit in this analyzed period has reached almost 20 million euros. 4.1% less than the previous year and which has been caused by different causes, including the increase in personnel costs. Another piece of information to assess Naturhouse's line of business is that in these first six months of the year 74 new shopping centers have been opened throughout the Spanish geography. The positive note, in the opinion of its president, is based on the fact that maintaining the positive tone in Spain will allow us to think about a improvement in fundamentals in the coming quarters. With a foreseeable increase in the profitability of the shares.

Dividend with profitability of 5%

Another of Naturhouse's common denominators is its high dividend. One of the most important among small and mid-cap stocks. Specifically, it offers a Fixed and annual yield of 4.7%. With payment to the shareholders of a dividend of 0.20 euros per share. As a new incentive to be the object of purchases by small and medium investors. It is in the highest ranking of this shareholder remuneration and above some of the top positions in Spanish equities. Create a savings bag little by little, regardless of its evolution in the financial markets.

This fact is causing it to be a more conservative profile Who takes positions in one of the most characteristic values of the Spanish stock market. Because at the same time its volatility is not very high since it generates some stability in its prices. In other words, the big climbs don't matter, but for the same reason the descents aren't truly spectacular either. With a variation between its maximum and minimum prices that is not truly significant. With margins lower than 3% in most cases. Something very important for the most defensive retailers in the financial markets.

Misunderstandings with Banco Popular

One of the most notable events of the company in recent months was the sharp drop in prices after the absorption of Banco Popular by Santander. Derived from the heavy losses generated in the operation by the president of Naturhouse, Félix Revuelta. But he quickly explained that these movements affected his personal interests and never those of the company. Recover positions quickly and after communication by the company management. Moment in which many investors took advantage of the moment to undo their positions and enjoy the capital gains generated until then.

Nor can it be forgotten that the president of Naturhouse had vacant positions in Sniace y que los vendió para no dañar su valor. A tal efecto, la transferencia de información es otro de los valores añadidos que esta iniciativa bursátil aporta a todos los inversores. Con continuos comunicados de prensa ante cualquier event de interés periodístico o inclusive los rumores que corren en las plazas nacionales. Debido a que de hecho, es el tema de estos comentarios con cierta frecuencia. Está expuesta como muchas otras acciones de pequeña y mediana capitalización.

Quoting very close to 5 euros

At the moment the value of its shares is very close to the resistance of five euros. After maintaining losses so far this year of almost 2%. Because in fact, this is not one of the best years for Naturhouse's interests. Where one of its main objectives will be to overcome the important level of 5.50 euros per share. It will be the most decisive signal to resume the uptrend with total clarity. It is not surprising that it is the maximum limit of the last 50 trading sessions. Therefore, it is one of the doubts that arise from now on. Whether or not you can handle these levels that you have on your charts.

Whatever the case, stability is one of its most relevant hallmarks given that its actions They move between 4 and 5 euros. No sudden movements that can radically change your price. Both in one sense and another. In other words, you will not receive excessive surprises if you become part of its shareholders. But on the contrary, since you can have some peace of mind if this is one of the companies that will be part of your investment portfolio in the medium and long term. At the same time, with a clearly expanding business, according to the latest quarterly results.

Its president raises participation

It is also important to note that the president of Naturhouse, Félix Revuelta, decided to increase his stake in the company up to 74,66%, as recorded in the records of the National Securities Market Commission (CNMV). News, which in principle should give investors more confidence. And as a hook for others to join this list of shareholders. Because it is one of the objectives pursued by the Riojan manager who is the majority investor in this line of business.

On the other hand, he has also been very critical of the Catalan sovereignty procedure. To the point of having recently announced the transfer of the company's registered office. Go from Barcelona to Madrid, even when it is a reason that will not affect the price of its shares, as has been demonstrated in the last trading sessions. Beyond the media coverage in the media and the political procedure that is taking place in Catalonia at the moment. Where it does not influence either positively or negatively. But on the contrary, in a neutral way for the interests of investors.

Now it remains to be seen if at the end of the year it will be able to trade in positive territory to give joy to small and medium investors positioned in this value of aesthetic products. Or perhaps, if it is not accompanied by the general trend in financial markets, it may even exacerbate declines and close a bad year in equities. We have a few weeks to establish which path their actions will definitely take. So that savers can use the most appropriate investment strategy for each of the situations that Naturhouse may face in a few days. Maybe before the onset of fall.
