1847 Holdings: Public Access to Private Profits

 

  • Shrinking number of public companies in the U.S. limits the playing field for individual investors and frustrates participation in the big ideas that create value.
  • Acquisition holding company focused on lower-middle market and with a publicly traded stock that offers the liquidity and transparency individual investors need.
  • Deep bench of experienced deal makers and operators ensure disciplined adherence to selection criteria and skilled portfolio management.
  • Pending acquisition could add as estimated $36 million in revenue and $11 million in net income in the year 2025.
  • Favorable financial performance comparisons in the next few quarters could trigger new interest in EFSH shares, increasing trading volume and share price.


The Opportunity

The number of publicly-held companies in the U.S. has been in decline over the past two decades, as more and more operations stay private longer, sell to strategic buyer, or team up with a private equity firm.  The trend is leaving individual investors fewer choices in tradeable stocks.  Furthermore, many of the companies shunning the public markets exhibit the level of strong growth and plump profits that drive worth.  Equity investors are left on the sidelines to salivate over value creation just out of reach.

A stake in 1847 Holdings LLC (EFSH:  NYSE) is an alternative.  The Company takes controlling interest in private companies doing business in North America.  The Company’s seasoned leadership team has formulated selection criteria and operational practices to build and capture exceptional returns in its portfolio  -  returns that can be passed along to stakeholders.   More importantly, as a public company with common stock listed on the New York Stock Exchange, 1847 Holdings gives the individual investor full liquidity and transparency.

Earth Day!

 




Monday April 22, 2024 is Earth Day!  The first Earth Day was organized in 1970.  The previous year Californians had witnessed the environmental devastation of a record-setting oil spill near Santa Barbara.  College students just back from Spring Break but not yet weighted down by final exams took to the streets, roadsides and parks  -  not just to demonstrate against polluting industry - but to pick up trash, clear away brush and plant trees and flowers.

Any day can be Earth Day.  Every day should be Earth Day!  

Despite the aspirations of billionnaires and other posturing psuedo-leaders, there is no Planet Earth B  -  at least not for humans.  We must keep this planet in good working order to survive as a species.

Celebrate Earth Day on Monday April 22nd and then make every other a day to help the environment - nuture plants, get along with animals and shield water from pollutants.

Janover: Bringing Better Experience to Real Estate Lending

 PRIME SERIES


  • Janover brings a new search and application platform to the commercial real estate lending market, using technology and artificial intelligence to make the process more human.
  • Real estate lending is expected to recover in 2024, after inflation, rising interest rates and persistent vacancies due to persistent work-from home arrangements led to a decade low in 2023.
  • Recovery in real estate loan activity or none, frictions in the lending process present obstacles and increase costs for borrowers and frustrate lenders looking for customers.        
  • The Janover team believes they can democratize the prevailing real estate lending sector with a platform that brings transparency to lender discovery and streamlines applications.
  • A recent strategic acquisition of a complementary business and new partnerships are expected to boost growth beginning in the current year.
  • Janover stock appears to have gone unnoticed by investors, leaving an unappreciated opportunity in the fintech sector.

 

The real estate industry is staging for a recovery this year as inflation subsides and interest rates stabilize.  The Mortgage Bankers Association estimates the industry could experience 19% increase in the dollar value of all real estate loan volume in 2024 over 2023.  Commercial and multifamily mortgage loans are expected to lead the industry with 29% year-over-year increase in loan value. 

The turnaround is not likely there will be a complete U-turn to how things were in real estate lending before the coronavirus pandemic with the attendant inflation and higher interest rates.  Demand for office space has been profoundly altered, shifting plans and strategies for real estate projects. Perhaps more importantly, real estate professionals are looking for change in how they go about their business.

Decision makers of all stripes have grown accustomed to the immediacy and convenience of digital applications.  The analog practices of the past are just not good enough for the present-day real estate sector.  Technology based on artificial intelligence (AI) is well-suited to industry that requires participants to wade through vast amounts of data.  Programs enhanced with AI can efficiently sift through the bits and bytes to streamline property search and analysis, deepen due diligence, fine tune project design or match compatible counterparties.
