I just finished the complete analysis of one nice israeli company, Chilan Tech (חילן טק) and finished the initial analysis of the israeli communication company bezeq (בזק).
These are the results for Chilan Tech: Chilan Tech – חילן טק. The company does outsourcing of some HR services like pay-slip creation, work-time management and such, IT services outsourcing and company information services. At least 25% of the pay-slips in Israel are produced by the company. The company has a P/E a bit lower than 8 (for 2009 and for last 4 quarters ending first quarter 2010), average dividend yield in the last 5 years of 4.37% and a strong cash flow (although could be better). This is the first company that I analyzed completely, reading the full 2009 report (took some time). The company can grow a lot in the IT services field if it does things right, and it also integrates nicely with the HR outsourcing services. A stock for long term investment based on the dividends and with possible upside on the price of the stock. With the current market outlook (which is fairly unknown), this is a nice thing to have.
Second Company: Bezeq – בזק. Note that this is only the initial analysis since this company is pretty large in israeli standards (23 billion ₪ market cap, 3.5 billion ₪ earnings in 2009), and the latest annual report is some 400+ pages long so the full analysis may take me some time. Bezeq is Israel’s largest phone company, having both land-lines and cellular sub-companies. The company also owns a large stake in Israel’s Sat-TV YES. Looking at the numbers you see a P/E of 6.5, dividend yield of 5.62% last five years and good cash flow. Once again, a stable company, the stock will not go to the roof but a I like solid investments.
