Manages a closed-ended fixed income mutual fund called Saba Capital Income & Opportunities Fund. Now — the numbers.
This is an established company with proven profits.
The market pays 4.9× for every dollar of annual profit — cheap, which is either an opportunity or a warning.
No analyst target is on record for this company.
Executive selling isn’t always bad news; people sell for personal reasons too. Still, the thin buying side is worth noting.
The stock trades 32% below its peak. The market has trimmed its expectations for the company.
The net profit margin is 66% — still a thick cushion, though costs have been eating into it lately.
Over the last 4 years, sales grew about 69% a year on average.
It pays out $1.02 per share each year — regular cash for whoever holds the stock.
Over the last 12 months, executives reported 13 sells against just 0 buys. Not an alarm bell by itself, but a number worth watching.
Since the drop from its peak, buyer appetite hasn’t come back.
We grade companies — revenue, margins, balance sheets. This is a fund, so there is no report card to give. That is not a low grade; it is a different kind of thing.
