GGBR3 - Gerdau

A simple look to GGBR cash flow shows that FCF is about 8% of current market value:
What draws my attention is the huge value of depreciation/amortization that is enough to cover investments in fixed  assets. The damn is the immense net debt nearly BRL 12 billions, six time FCF.
What about?

hello i am an old ggb investor. They have a lot of money from BNDES Brazilian government bank that GGB used to built hydro electrical plants and acquire companies. I know 2 that are finished and give them power autonomy in Brazil.

They just capture 5 bi reais increasing capital this will be represented in 2Q11 report.

The iron ore mining reserve and the coal mining in Colombia give them a lot of medium and long term competitive advantage.

They are a recycle business much more different from other steel companies.

compare in google finance apple and ggb 10 years projection and you are going to see that ggb is a good pick.

Hello moki, we appreciate your comments. Welcome to the blog.
Good memories: I forgot about GGBR public offering. New shares are already counting to its market value, but BRL 5 billion still don´t.
So probably net debt is now about BRL 7 billion, quite acceptable.
About the projections you mentioned, sorry, but I don't give a shit for them.
