Napier Port: Deep Waters?

Napier Port has a special place in my heart. When I was a boy I used to go there with my sister and father most Sundays for an ice-cream. I used to imagine what sorts of things came in from the port and what sorts of splendid things went out.

Well come 2021 I own a very small part of it. Always wanted to. My dead Dad would be proud!!

Well what are some of the details.

As you can see from the chart above the share price has been trading since #covid19 hit of $2.52 and a high of $3.90. What has been interesting is that it has bounced around a bit but hasnt got below $3.14.

I recommend buying now at between $3.15 and about $3.20 because the share price should hold up because the so call "wall of wood" will generate the bucks for 10 years at least.

There is only two exceptions i would look at.

The company is carrying a lot of debt. I say that because its roughly at 25% of net assets. A counter to this is that is 55% owned by the Napier City Council so it is never going to go broke.

The second is the company does not have a lot of time under it belt as a public/private entity - about 2 years - so hasn't really established yet a good pattern of trading in public.

I have bought a few and will buy more as and when they reach my sweet spot.

DYOR.
