FRIO3 - Metalfrio

I took a quick look at Metalfrio, one of the world’s largest manufacturers of plug-in commercial refrigeration equipment, particularly ice cold merchandiser (ICM) equipment, because its yield is currently high.

Average FCF in the last 3 years is 55.5 millions, which yields 22.2%. This may sound to good to be true. And it really is:
  • 27.6 millions of FCF was due to assets/liabilities changes. This is not expected to be recurrent and/or sustainable.
  • 30.0 millions was due to tax incentives on ICMS in MS, due in 2025.
So FCF will be about 27.8 millions (11.2%) until 2025, not considering assets/liabilities changes. And nearly zero thereupon.

It doesn't look much attractive to me, given the kind of company.

I have a bad feeling for almost all brazilian industrials. The company must be very interesting to impress me, like Weg, Randon, Marcopolo, etc.
