Inflation has been all over the news in the last few weeks. In my opinion there’s no denying anymore in the fact that prices are about to rise and that we will start to feel it more and more in our wallets.
But don’t be worried though, because investing in equities and especially stocks might just be the best hedge out there.
That’s why I have chosen the topic of inflation in today’s show of Sunday with eDGI.
I’m showing why the general inflation numbers from Europe are not the same as how it potentially impacts the companies in our portfolio’s.
After that I’m using Kimberly Clark as an example to show where it impacts a company by looking at the financial statements.
And off course, I then also use this opportunity to provide a fair value analysis for the company. This should answer us if the share price decline last Friday was indeed justified.
Enjoy the video and feel free to ask me any question you might have. I might address it in one of the upcoming videos.
